"Oscar Winner 'No Other Land' Sparks International Outrage"
"No Other Land," a documentary about Israeli displacement of Palestinians, has won the Best Documentary Feature Film Oscar, with its directors appealing for global action to stop the conflict and accusing the US of blocking a solution.

The Oscars win is seen as a call to action to end the injustice and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
