Emmys committee stands by decision to nominate Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda


The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is standing by its decision to nominate AJ+ contributor Bisan Owda for an Emmy award despite calls from a pro-Israeli non-profit to rescind the nomination. Owda was nominated for her documentary titled ‘It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive,’ which details her experiences living in Gaza.

The pro-Israeli non-profit claimed that Owda’s documentary presented a biased and one-sided view of the conflict in Gaza, and requested that the nomination be revoked. However, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences defended their decision, stating that the documentary met the criteria for nomination and that they support the diverse range of perspectives presented by their nominees.

Owda’s documentary sheds light on the struggles faced by Palestinians living in Gaza, including the impact of the ongoing conflict and the challenges of everyday life in the region. The documentary has been praised for its powerful storytelling and emotional impact, sparking conversations about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the need for greater understanding and empathy.

The controversy surrounding Owda’s nomination highlights the complexities of telling stories from conflict zones and the importance of sharing diverse perspectives in media. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ decision to stand by the nomination demonstrates their commitment to honoring a variety of voices and experiences in the industry. Owda’s documentary serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and the resilience of those who continue to survive and thrive in challenging circumstances.
