@altpapier nicht erwähnt wird, dass zb einer der Filmemacher #YuvalAbraham, der da eine Solidaritätsbotschaft als israelischer Regisseur unterzeichnete im Kern der letztjährigen Berlin-Antisemitismus-Kontroverse war und auch sehr umstritten ist. Er schreint ja auch für das Blog +972, das u.a. die Angriffe vom 7. Oktober relativierte.

One target at a time: the logic that helped Israeli liberals commit genocide
from +972’s Sunday Recap
#972Magazine [published in #Israel]
Oct. 26, 2025#YuvalAbraham wrote about the logic that helped Israeli liberals commit genocide, based on conversations he conducted with dozens of soldiers and officers as part of numerous investigations over the past two years.

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."

#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."

#Eurovision / 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 #ICJ investigation and scholarly condemnation of a genocide that has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinians deliberately and systematically murdered by the #IDF (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 Raphae] 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.

#Palestinian Filmmaker Demands End to US-Backed '#EthnicCleansing' of #Gaza, #WestBank in Oscar Speech
"There is a different path, a political solution without #EthnicSupremacy," said Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham. "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path."
by Julia Conley, Mar 03, 2025
"The winner of the 2025 #AcademyAward for Best Documentary Feature Film has been unable to obtain distribution in #theaters or on #StreamingPlatforms in the U.S.—despite being the highest-grossing Oscar-nominated documentary in the rest of the world—but American viewers were able to hear directly from its filmmakers on Sunday night in speeches that condemned the U.S.-backed 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians.
"The directors behind #NoOtherLand, Israeli journalist #YuvalAbraham and Palestinian activist and lawyer #BaselAdra, accepted the Oscar while speaking out about the subject matter of their film, which was filmed between 2019-23, before Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack.
"'When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are not equal,' Abraham said. 'We live under a regime where I enjoy freedom under civil law, and where he is governed by military laws.'
"Adra and Abraham made the film to tell the story of #MasaferYatta, a collection of towns in the occupied #WestBank where Adra lives and where Israeli authorities and settlers have been attacking and evicting residents for years—claiming Israel has a right to use the land for a military training facility. The film chronicles Israeli soliders' killing of Adra's brother and their attacks on West Bank communities by demolishing homes, tearing down playgrounds, and filling water wells with cement so Palestinians cannot rebuild."

‘#NoOtherLand,’ an #Israeli-#Palestinian collaboration, wins Oscar for best documentary
By HANNAH SCHOENBAUM
Updated 11:51 PM EST, March 2, 2025LOS ANGELES (AP) — "'No Other Land,' the story of Palestinian activists fighting to protect their communities from demolition by the Israeli military, won the Oscar for best documentary on Sunday.
"The collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers follows activist #BaselAdra as he risks arrest to document the destruction of his hometown at the southern edge of the West Bank, which Israeli soldiers are tearing down to use as a military training zone. Adra’s pleas fall on deaf ears until he befriends a Jewish Israeli journalist who helps him amplify his story.
"'We made this film as Palestinians and Israelis because, together, our voices are stronger,' said Israeli journalist and filmmaker #YuvalAbraham. He used his acceptance speech to call out his country’s government for what he called 'the atrocious destruction of Gaza and its people.' And he urged Hamas to release all Israeli hostages.
"'No Other Land' came into the night a top contender after a successful run on the film festival circuit. It did not, however, find a U.S. distributor after being picked up for distribution in 24 countries. For the Oscar, it beat out 'Porcelain War,' 'Sugarcane,' 'Black Box Diaries' and 'Soundtrack to a Coup d’État.'
"The documentary was filmed over four years between 2019 and 2023, wrapping production days before Hamas launched its deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that started the war in Gaza."

Berlinale Head Voices Support For ‘No Other Land’ Filmmakers After Berlin City Portal Says Film Contains “Antisemitic Tendencies”: “That Discourse Creates Danger For All Of Them”

Film screening:
Sun, Oct 6, 2024Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024
Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)
"This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

“There is No Nice Way to Bulldoze a School”: #BaselAdra and #YuvalAbraham on #NoOtherLand
by Nicolas Rapold
in Directors, Festivals & Events, Interviews
on Feb 27, 2024"Co-directed by an #IsraeliPalestinian collective of four, No Other Land was filmed in the #WestBank, in Masafer Yatta, where Israeli military and increasingly civilians have forced #Palestinians out from their villages. Premiered at the 74th Berlinale, the debut feature won both the juried documentary award and the Audience Award in its section, Panorama—amply deserved honors for its adroit, affecting and infuriating portrayal of a tight-knit Palestinian community resisting Israel’s relentless campaign of expulsion. Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham, two of the co-directors, are also extensively on screen. Adra, whose father was also an activist, offers the film’s primary eyes and ears, both through the offenses he hustles to record at mortal risk—he’s essentially a war photographer who lives inside the war—and through the archival video that conveys his memories of growing up there. Abraham, an Israeli journalist, befriends Adra in the course of reporting, and the two grow closer as he gets invested in the survival of Adra’s community, whose adults and children we see menaced, shot at and pushed into living in a cave as homes, a schoolhouse and other buildings are demolished.
"The film’s excellence and the courage required to make it are worth underlining amid the fractious politics of this year’s Berlinale, which was lambasted for policing speech about the very issues addressed so cogently by a film the festival programmed and honored. (The latest news at press time was a bizarre clarification from the German Ministry of Culture that the Culture Minister’s applause at the prize ceremony was intended only for the Israeli member of the No Other Land filmmaking team, i.e., Abraham, and not Adra. Abraham reported death threats after making his acceptance speech, whose words echoed his answers here.) But when I interviewed Adra and Abraham in a lounge tucked away in the Palast, it was barely midway through the festival, and they were only two screenings into a festival edition that would be defined by the strength of its nonfiction selection—perhaps none quite so urgent and on point as No Other Land."

“For as long as he can remember, #BaselAdra has been capturing his community’s slow eradication and displacement from Masafer Yatta in the #WestBank, #Palestine. His camera, always by his side on the frontlines, documents the escalating and evolving forms of aggression over time. The lens captures events, moments in between, and the longitudinal nature of this struggle. It falls to the ground, remains active, and is picked up by an offscreen body—Basel’s—as he runs, the image persists. The lens demands that we impassively bear witness. #YuvalAbraham, an Israeli activist and journalist, unwaveringly supports Basel and the community, yet the limitations of their relationship, given their disproportionately unequal lived experiences, begin to reveal themselves."
