Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal:
This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after I returned from Los Angeles--Shem Tov Lusky--again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital.
I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: [email protected]
Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day.
We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky--the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year--came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital.
The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack.

In the name of ‘urban renewal,’ Israel is trampling Lod’s 2,000-year-old heritage
The municipality is encouraging real estate sharks to tear up the city’s history in order to build towers that will likely drive out Palestinian residents.

“Whatever you’re reading, the reality is worse. That’s my intuition based on years of reporting on the West Bank and Gaza. What you’re reading, what you’re seeing, what manages to get out — the actual reality is worse.”

Read now in @NYMag: Paramedics, families, journalists, and survivors who fled through the checkpoints and cameras I once faced in Gaza describe an intimacy with the systems that tracked and scored them in seconds, mapping their homes and lives from afar. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

“A machine could look into people’s homes, register their presence, and flag them,” writes @mrmhawish. “If we tried to live our lives as if the surveillance did not exist, it could lead to our deaths.”

If you read anything this week read @mrmhawish on life under Israeli surveillance in Gaza
“If we tried to live our lives as if the surveillance did not exist, it could lead to our deaths.”

I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable.
It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag

“Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers”
“by the reckoning of Israeli military officials, 83% of those killed in Gaza were civilians”

"Israel is still restricting aid to West Gaza, with an average of around 95 trucks entering per day during the first 20 days of the ceasefire — well below the 600 per day stipulated in the agreement between Israel and Hamas." 972mag.com/trump-israel-plan…

The lesson here, which many within Israeli legal and human rights communities already know for a long time, is that Israel cannot and will not investigate itself. Which is why international probes are necessary. haaretz.com/israel-news/2025…

Amazon and Google agreed to a highly irregular "handcuff" contract, making it impossible for them to deny services to Israel, even if Israel used their services for illegal purposes.
And via a special "wink mechanism", the tech giants promised to tip Israel off – probably in violation of US law – if foreign jurisdictions secretly ordered Israeli data be handed over as part of an investigation.
Silicon Valley just can't stop conspiring in Israeli lawbreaking.

🚩My new report is out.
With their actions and omissions, third states have enabled the oppression of the Palestinian people and their genocide.
Those states have an obligation to stop their complicity and deliver justice.
And We The People, have to make it happen.
"Gaza genocide: a collective crime." Absolutely read @FranceskAlbs's new report about how Third States have provided direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation in the Gaza genocide. ohchr.org/en/documents/count…

The ICJ has just rejected all objections and (spurious) defenses and found that the Israeli regime is in violation of international law in its obstruction of aid, its attacks on UNRWA and other agencies, its mass murder of hundreds of UN staff, its violations of the rights of aid workers, civilians, and prisoners, its destruction of UN and other aid facilities, the use of starvation as a method of war, and that it must cease all such actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. As usual, Israel regime agent Judge Sebutinde, who still has not recused or been removed, was alone in dissenting on several key findings of the court.

“As Jews and as human beings, we declare: Not in our name. Not in the name of our heritage, our faith, or our moral tradition. The monumental scale of the killing and destruction, the forced displacement, the deliberate withholding of life-sustaining necessities, and the ongoing criminal actions in the West Bank must end and never be repeated.”
