Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning 'No Other Land', returned from Los Angeles three weeks ago

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”.

    there can be no peace while the structure of the state of israel, the ideological apparatus that sustains it, and the support of the colonial nations of the west, remain standing. and jewish people themselves should know that.

    there used to be a joke about how israel is like a former well educated university professor who made the aliyah after being ran over by a german truck driver, and used to throw stones at the poor palestinian 14-year old washergirl who lives in the backlot. now the father of the girl threw some stones back and the professor went full priklopil keeping the whole family at his basement, trturing and rping them on a daily basis.

      For anyone wondering:

      Aliyah: is the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to, historically, the geographical Land of Israel or the Palestine region, which is today chiefly represented by the State of Israel.

      priklopil: Natascha Maria Kampusch (born 17 February 1988) is an Austrian author and former talk show host. At the age of 10, on 2 March 1998, she was abducted and held in a secret cellar by her kidnapper Wolfgang Přiklopil for more than eight years, until she escaped on 23 August 2006.

      I think every single zio scum needs to die before there can be peace anywhere in the world.

      plus, chuck schumer is their puppet, and openly admits this. which should be reason enough to do any ill you can possibly think of to any zio any time you have the opportunity. if you’re called to serve one in a restaurant, shit in it’s food at the very least.

      A future in which humanity thrives is not a future that can include a single living zio. if there are zios living in your sight, you cannot claim to be a good person.
