Hayim Katsman was not involved in making ‘No Other Land.’ So why are some of the film's critics saying he was?

JL;DR SUMMARY The article explores misinformation surrounding Hayim Katsman, a peace activist killed by Hamas, who was mistakenly linked to the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
