Tonight, I am sitting in my home in Scotland watching a film.

No one is outside with a JCB trying to demolish my home, my neighbours' homes, the school.

A foreign army is not throwing stun grenades at my neighbours, adults and children alike.

No one is firing live rounds at my friends and family.

And yet, I am afraid; not for me, but for humanity.

Academy Apologizes for Not Naming Hamdan Ballal Amid Outcry (Variety, 2025-03-28)

“The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has sent out a statement to its 11,000 members following mounting criticism over its lack of public support for Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land,’ who was recently detained by Israeli forces.

“On Friday, the Academy issued a follow-up letter explicitly naming Ballal and apologizing for omitting both him and the film from a statement sent earlier in the week.”

Calling it #Apartheid or #genocide is supposedly antisemitism, but what other words can you use for how #israele treats Palestinians in #Gaza and the #WestBank. This has s not new but has escalated so much that denying actually an actively happening genocide is more than just dishonest. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/27/mid

CNN · ‘No other land:’ Oscar-winning Palestinian director says settler assault won’t push him from his homeBy Kara Fox

Gestern in der Region #MasaferYatta in der von #Israel besetzten #Westbank, nur wenige Kilometer in der vor ein paar Tagen der Co-Regisseur Hamdan Bilal von #NoOtherLand von Siedlern zusammengeschlagen und anschließend verhaftet wurde, im Dorf Jinba gab es gestern einen Pogrom. Siedler griffen einen Schafhirten & seine Herde an, dann attackierten sie in Dorf die Einwohner und deren Eigentum. Anschließend rückte das Militär an und verhaftete sämtliche männlichen Einwohner.

"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has convened an extraordinary meeting to address a crisis over its tepid response to the arrest and detention of Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal, of the documentary No Other Land, by Israeli authorities."

The Guardian · Academy board to meet as response to No Other Land director’s arrest decriedBy Adrian Horton

They released Hamdan Ballal. But what happened?

Shortly after Palestinian residents had finished their daily Ramadan fast dozens of masked Israeli settlers entered the West Bank village of Susiya.

Some of the settlers were armed with batons, others had knives and one of them was holding an M16 rifle. Among them were a group of Israeli soldiers who escorted the settlers inside the village.
Minutes later, the settlers walked straight over to the house of Hamdan Ballal. The settlers started throwing stones against his house, witnesses said, and chased Ballal to his house, beating him and eventually handing him over to the military. Handcuffed and blindfolded by the soldiers, Ballal, bleeding from his head, was moved to a military vehicle.

Quelques jours plus tard, il est passé à tabac par des colons israéliens, puis arrêté, ensanglanté, devant son fils de 7 ans.

En Palestine, tenir une caméra, c’est déjà un acte de résistance.
Solidarité avec le peuple palestinien et avec celles et ceux qui ne se taisent pas, qui filment « ce qu’ils savent, ce qu’ils voient, ce qui est vrai ».
