Palestinian film director and Academy Award-winner Hamdan Ballal was violently attacked by what his colleague described as a “lynch mob” of Israeli settlers on Monday night in the Palestinian village of Susya, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Ballal’s whereabouts are now unknown after Israeli soldiers then seized him from the ambulance that arrived to treat him, his co-director and fellow Oscar winner of the documentary No Other Land, Yuval Abraham, said on X.
Abraham, a journalist for +972 magazine, said in a separate post featuring a shaky cell phone video that masked settlers “attacked Hamdan’s village, they continued to attack American activists, breaking their car with stones”.
Please don’t equate the actions of Israelis to all Jews.
Zionists are often extremely antisemitic. The founder of zionism was so antisemitic that his quotes can be attributed to Hitler or Goebbels and people wouldn’t tell the difference.
please don’t defend religions
While Judaism is a religion, not all Jews are religious. Jews are an ethno-cultural group as well. I’m not defending the religion of Judaism, I’m saying don’t lump the horrific actions of Israel and Zionists with people who are not supporting the genocide.
i too am a human with an ethnic background
Yes, and you should not be blamed if a country co-opts your identity and commits a genocide, unless you support it.
You’ll get down voted to hell for this but you’re right, religions do not deserve defending, they’re not a force for good
To be fair Abrahams God is an idiot and can’t be what religion claims One or more of the traits is disproven in religion. Can’t be omniscient, omnipotent or omnipresent. I don’t even think God understands omniscient or he wouldn’t have made so many mistakes like “resting on the 7th day”? How does something that cannot be tired rest?
Please tell that to the jews
I’m Jewish. Am I doing anything to stop the death toll? No. Have you done anything to stop the death toll? No, probably not…so yes all Jews. Maybe if all the people came together to Israel, Israel might pick different methods to achieve its goal instead of bullets and bomb shells and missiles.
Just because you aren’t doesn’t mean others are as apathetic to genocide committed in their name.
Secondly, Zionism is an inherently colonial apartheid project. The methods are required for the end goal. People don’t want to leave their homeland and give up all their shit. If you want them too, which is ideologically required for Zionism, then those are the methods you’re going to use.
The problem isn’t the bombs and guns, it’s the colonialism and apartheid. The methods are fixed when those are the goals.
