The following is from rather a peace-nick. Not a "conservatives zionist."

"No Other Land" Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land."
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:
"I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent."
"This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer & co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani."
"The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers."
"This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents."
"Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit."
"I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area."
"Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them."
"The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor."
"Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it."

To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as "The Moscovia," which still exists today.
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.
