oggi, 4 settembre, a roma (piazza vittorio): proiezione di “no other land” / in memoria di awdah hathaleen
NO OTHER LAND
Giovedì 4 settembre proiezione speciale all’Arena
Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio
in memoria di Awdah HathaleenGiovedì 4 settembre alle ore 20:30, Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio ospiterà la proiezione di No Other Land, vincitore dell’Oscar 2025 come Miglior Documentario. Ad introdurre la proiezione saranno: Riccardo Noury, portavoce di Amnesty International Italia, l’organizzazione per i diritti umani che ha dato il patrocinio al documentario, e Massimo Righetti, in rappresentanza di ANEC AGIS Lazio.
L’evento vuole ricordare il coraggio e il sacrificio di Awdah Hathaleen, co-autore e protagonista del film, brutalmente ucciso il 28 luglio scorso da un colono israeliano, colpevole solo di difendere pacificamente la propria terra.
La sua uccisione è parte di uno sterminio senza fine, che viola sistematicamente ogni diritto umano previsto anche dal codice Internazionale.
No Other Land è oggi più che mai un’opera necessaria per contrastare lo sterminio del popolo Palestinese e lo fa attraverso lo sguardo diretto di chi, come Hathaleen, non ha mai smesso di credere nel potere del dialogo e del confronto pacifico.
Padre di tre figli, insegnante, giornalista ex attivista politico, Hathaleen era un punto di riferimento per tutta la sua comunità. La sua vita – e la sua tragica morte – incarnano le tematiche centrali del documentario: la resistenza, il conflitto multigenerazionale, l’ingiustizia sistemica e il potere della testimonianza.
L’obiettivo della serata è offrire uno spazio pubblico di memoria, denuncia e consapevolezza, per restituire dignità alla figura di Awdah Hathaleen e non permettere che la sua voce sia messa a tacere. Un’occasione anche per riflettere, insieme, sul significato profondo di No Other Land e sull’urgenza di trasformare lo sdegno in responsabilità.
Un grido di dolore per dire BASTA FERMATEVI!!!!

#Germany seeks to #deport #protesters
Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025
"The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.
"Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.
"Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.
"Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.
"In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.
"The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.
"Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.
Clapping
"And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'
"Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.
"German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

Backlash to Academy Awards response over No Man’s Land co-director’s ‘lynching’ grows; board meets.
Over 600 members of the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Science have condemned the body’s response to the attack by West Bank settlers on the Hamdan Ballal, co-director of this year’s Best Documentary Oscar winner, No Man’s Land. Ballal reported that the settlers in the West Bank referenced the Oscar during the attack, which his Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham described as a ‘lynching’. The letter, signed by stars including Natasha Lyonne, Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix, Ava DuVernay, Alfonso Cuarón, Penélope Cruz, Emma Thompson, Tony Kushner and Jonathan Glazer comes after the Academy belatedly condemned the attack in a statement that didn’t mention Ballal by name and referenced the Academy membership’s “many unique viewpoints”. In response to the members’ letter, the Academy’s board has called an extraordinary meeting to discuss a new response.

they released hamdan ballal, but what happened?
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.#aggressione #Cisgiordania #coloni #criminalIDF #criminalIOF #free #freed #HamdanBallal #IDF #IOF #IsraeliSoldiers #kidnapping #M16Rifle #NoOtherLand #Palestina #Palestine #rapimento #settlers #sionisti #Susiya #WestBank #whatHappened #YuvalAbraham

Israel releases Oscar-winning #Palestinian director after he was attacked by West Bank settlers
By JULIA FRANKEL
Updated 11:55 AM EDT, March 25, 2025HEBRON, #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."
