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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israeli</a> filmmakers that documents the destruction of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MasaferYatta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MasaferYatta</a>, 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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CenterForJewishNonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CenterForJewishNonviolence</a> 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."<a href="https://www.palestinechronicle.com/oscar-winning-palestinian-film-co-director-attacked-by-israeli-settlers-detained/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.palestinechronicle.com/oscar-winning-palestinian-film-co-director-attacked-by-israeli-settlers-detained/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDFTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDFTerrorism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraeliWarCrimes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BibiIsAWarCriminal</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreePalestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeGaza</a>

oatmeal<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> / Israel still allowed to maintain access to platforms of cultural diplomacy despite an ongoing genocide Israel's strategic deployment of cultural representation in the face of allegations of genocide is relentless. While facing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICJ</a> investigation and scholarly condemnation of a genocide that has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinians deliberately and systematically murdered by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> (using U.S.-supplied weaponry,) Israel's Eurovision participation—featuring a survivor of the October 7 attack—is attempting, once again, to instrumentalize personal victimhood in service of state legitimation. It’s difficult to ignore the fact that this centering of Israeli suffering within international cultural forums occurs simultaneously with the systematic marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and experiences. The disproportionate media attention given to Israel's Eurovision candidacy, relative to, say, coverage of ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, not to mention a brutal occupation, reflects broader patterns of narrative control that obscure accountability for actions against an occupied population. As one Israeli commentator wrote, “the song written for her [Yuval Abraham] by Keren Peles lacks even a trace of originality and freshness, resembling something more on the level of a young talent night at an unpopular brasserie - and conveys an oppressive sense of extra effort to be appealing.[…] And if that doesn't help either, one can always say that the problem isn't the lyrics, the melody, the French, the clip, the Keren, or the Peles: in the end, everyone is antisemitic.Hebrew <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eurovision2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurovision2025</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/yuvalabraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yuvalabraham</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antisemitism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hasbara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hasbara</a>

U.S. Politics in Real Time<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a>'s military is increasingly using <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> to target in <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>, as reported by journalist <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/YuvalAbraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YuvalAbraham</a>. This shift, a response to running out of military targets in previous operations, leads to looser constraints and higher civilian casualties. The AI-driven targeting of private homes to eliminate combatants contributes to the rising civilian toll, turning the Israeli military into what Abraham calls a "mass assassination factory" with little regard for Palestinian civilian life.
