sally rooney and javier bardem are proof the art/politics thing is pretty easy actually: make whatever work you think is interesting and when given the opportunity be principled and clear in the statements you make from the platform earned through that work

The most damning condemnations of Israel's war have always come from the Israeli soldiers who actually fought it:

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

❗ Please read and share: at least 189 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since hostilities escalated across the Middle East. Many were killed trying to access aid so they could feed their families.
Very little food, water, fuel, or medicine is entering Gaza and children are suffering.
This is a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe.
The UK Government cannot forget about Gaza as an entire population is starved and killed in plain sight. For too long, the UK has allied itself to Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel
🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity
🔴 Do whatever they can to ensure international law is upheld
🔴 Take all possible steps to end the occupation
Over the coming days and weeks, we must continue to keep our eyes on Gaza.
