After reports that Gaza flotilla activists would not be forced to watch the horror film, Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed that "Greta and her companions were taken to a room upon arrival to view the October 7 massacre film, but when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching." According to him, "The antisemitic flotilla participants close their eyes to the truth and have proven again that they prefer the murderers over the murdered and continue to ignore Hamas's atrocities against Jewish and Israeli women, elderly and children."
