Just been to lunch with the bookclub girls. Beautiful autumn day, sitting outside in Mawson, lots of overseas travel stories from the 2 returned travellers. The lovely nearby Palestinian bakery was chock a block full of beautiful stuff for the end of Ramadan, and I noticed a fabulous sign in the corner of their side window: a pic of Netanyahu with a large knife and arms covered in blood, titled The Butcher Of Gaza.

…& a level of courage & $humanity that will simply never be known, never understood, by the monsters who murdered him.

This young man had more dignity & integrity in his short career than thousands of comfortable Western #journalists who have remained silent as their #governments have armed & funded a genocide.
#Israel has been on such a psychotic killing spree over the last 3 days that it’s hard to know where to begin. Do we start with the #bombing of 2 hospitals? The targeted #assassination of 2 journalists? The #US #bombing a hospital in #Yemen on Israel’s behalf?

Golda Meir once said the old would die, and the young forget: ‘But they didn’t forget. The old died, but not before passing down the names of villages, the stories of trees, the keys to locked doors, the maps etched in memory. The young inherited all of it … & for that, they must be eliminated.’

Israel releases Oscar-winning #Palestinian director after he was attacked by West Bank settlers

HEBRON, #WestBank (AP) — "#Israeli authorities released an Oscar-winning Palestinian director who was detained by the army after being attacked by #JewishSettlers in the occupied West Bank. He said they beat him in front of his home while they filmed the assault.
"#HamdanBallal and the other directors of '#NoOtherLand,' which looks at the struggles of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, had mounted the stage at the 97th Academy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month when it won the award for best documentary film.
"On Tuesday, with bruises on his face and blood on his clothes, he was released from an Israeli police station in the West Bank settlement of #KiryatArba. He and two other Palestinians who had been attacked and detained were taken to a nearby hospital.
"Ballal said he was held at an army base, blindfolded for 24 hours and forced to sleep under a freezing air conditioner.
"'All my body is pain,' he told The Associated Press. “I heard the voices of the soldiers, they were laughing about me … I heard ‘Oscar’ but I didn’t speak Hebrew.'
"Lea Tsemel, the attorney representing the three men, said they received only minimal care for their injuries from the attack and that she had no access to them for several hours after their arrest."

#OscarWinning #Palestinian Film Co-Director Attacked by #IsraeliSettlers, Detained
March 25, 2025
"#HamdanBallal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary #NoOtherLand, was attacked by illegal #Israeli Jewish settlers in the occupied #WestBank, Al-Jazeera Arabic website, and other sources reported on Monday.
"His fellow co-director, #YuvalAbraham, shared the details of the assault on social media, stating, 'A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film No Other Land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding.'
"Ballal was severely beaten by the settlers and called for an ambulance. However, the situation took a dire turn when Israeli soldiers intervened and forcibly took him away.
"Abraham further explained, 'Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.' As of now, there has been no information on Ballal’s whereabouts, leaving his colleagues and supporters increasingly concerned for his safety.
"No Other Land is a collaboration between Palestinian and #Israeli filmmakers that documents the destruction of #MasaferYatta, a village in the West Bank, by Israeli military forces.
"The documentary has won international acclaim, including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. However, the film has also faced backlash and controversy, especially in Israel.
"A video released by the #CenterForJewishNonviolence shows masked settlers attacking Jewish activists with stones and sticks. The activists, including those filming the incident, were targeted and their car windows were smashed.
"One of the activists, Josh Kimelman, spoke to the Associated Press, stating, 'We don’t know where Hamdan is because he was taken away in a blindfold.' The Israeli military has claimed that it is investigating the incident but has not provided any additional information on the matter."

Shabat’s team has shared his final message to the world: ‘I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest … Do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away.’
Israel killed two #Palestinian #journalists in separate attacks today, bringing the death toll of #media #workers in the Gaza war to 208. They were #MohammadMansour & #HussamShabat.

As #Israeli ground forces encircle #Rafah ’s #TelalSultan neighbourhood, 50,000 Palestinians are trapped with little access to #food & #water, and the wounded are being ‘left to bleed to death.’
Israel must be destroyed. This is not anti-Semitism. I don't want harm to fall upon innocent Jews (unlike the over 50,000 innocent Palestinians Israel has murdered). But the Country of Israel must be destroyed. It's leaders tried and executed for their war crimes. And its land returned to its rightful people.

It is unacceptable for the genocidal state of Israel to participate in the World Expo. The theme is "Designing a Future Society Where Life Shines."
There is no excuse for genocide.
