Was een beetje klaar met alle katten en honden die door beeld liepen tijdens videovergaderingen, dus heb vandaag Camilla meegebracht naar een overleg. Ze vond het een interessante ervaring, maar heeft geen verdere aspiraties als kantoorkip.

Listening to Western mainstream commentary on events in Syria vs listening to Arabs is like parallel universes. Whether it's about Gaza or Syria, they speak with a detachment and a psychological distance that is explained only with this: They don't see us as fully human.

Well, I was thinking of going with my daughters back home in Dahiyeh or maybe to our newly-built home in Khiam which took us 8 years to finish. I then thought about whether it would be safe for us native humans of Muslim faith to go there, especially ones who would definitely be followed and surveilled by an Israeli Zionist drone that targets civilian cars. I then remembered that the Israelis already took down my Dahiyeh home with US-made munition and they burnt down the Khiam one with white phosphorus with Canadian (and other western) tax payers' money. This mental calculation is happening in Beirut, Lebanon in 2024 as the world watches in silence after a 1 year and 2 months continuous genocide in #Gaza too.
But then I found my daughters curled up with their pet cat in the corner trying to calm one another down because Israel was dropping bunker buster bombs 1 km away from our "refuge" house killing other Lebanese people's Muslim young daughters.
Say what now @GadSaad?

So Israeli soccer fans went to Amsterdam, tore down Palestinian flags off Dutch buildings, chanted for the killing of Arabs, and then got attacked as a result.
But if you google ‘Amsterdam’ you’ll see a bunch of headlines about Israelis being targeted in unprovoked attacks.
The Judeo-Nazi "Ultra" fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv march around Amsterdam, singing "Let the IDF win, to fuck the Arabs".
The police seem to be cool with it.

Turkish authorities banned a screening of Luca Guadagnino’s QUEER, which was set to open MUBI Fest İstanbul. (The reason: “contains provocative content that will endanger public peace.”) In response, MUBI has canceled the entire festival.
Hazırlıkları aylar süren, haftalar önce duyurularına başladığımız ve günler önce biletleri tükenen MUBI Fest İstanbul 2024'ün başlamasına saatler kala, festival programında yer alan ve aynı zamanda açılış filmi olan QUEER'in gösteriminin yasaklandığını, İstanbul Kadıköy Kaymakamlığı'nın tebliği ile üzülerek öğrendik.
Kararda filmin, toplum barışını tehlikeye atacak provokatif içerik taşıdığı gerekçesiyle yasaklandığı ve yasak kararının güvenlik nedeniyle uygulanacağı belirtiliyor. Bu yasak kararının, sanatı ve ifade özgürlüğünü kısıtlayan bir müdahale olduğuna inanıyoruz. Festivaller, sanatın ve kültürel çeşitliliğin kutlandığı, insanları bir araya getiren nefes alma alanlarıdır. Bu yasaklama, yalnızca bir filmi değil, tüm festivali anlamından ve amacından uzaklaştırmaktadır.
Bu nedenle, MUBI olarak seyircimizin bizden beklediği doğru duruşu sergilemek istiyor ve MUBI FEST İstanbul’un tamamını iptal etme kararı aldığımızı üzülerek bildiriyoruz. Festivale katılmayı planlayan ve bu durumdan en az bizim kadar üzüntü duyduğuna inandığımız tüm sanatçılara, izleyicilere ve destekçilerimize, gösterdikleri anlayış ve dayanışma için teşekkür ederiz. İfade özgürlüğünün ve sanatsal ifadelerin korunması adına bu konudaki duruşumuzu sürdürmeye devam edeceğiz.
Festival biletlerinin iadeleri konusunda bilgilendirme daha sonra paylaşılacaktır.

I will translate this for all the Western liberals who don't understand anything: Ramallah is not Gaza, it is in the West Bank, it's a beautiful cosmopolitan city that is Christian, Muslim, and secular, and it is not governed or controlled by Hamas.
🚨BREAKING: A horrific night in Ramallah, in the West Bank.
Hundreds of Israeli terrorist settlers launched a brutal attack on the city of Ramallah, setting fire to numerous Palestinian homes and vehicles.
After setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire, they moved to the main road connecting Ramallah to other cities, where they targeted Palestinian cars passing by, injuring a woman by hurling stones at her vehicle.

"Ten years later, the film takes on fresh, modern contexts, as media distrust and access to violent imagery have been exacerbated to the extreme of altering the purveyor and spectator."

For @ebertvoices i reflected on NIGHTCRAWLER for its 10th anniversary.
I found it provoked my discomfort with how comfortable our culture has become with violent imagery since the film’s release. rogerebert.com/features/the-…

Yes that video is real. Yes you just watched Palestinians be burned alive in a hospital. Yes one man was still in his hospital bed. Yes you can still speak up about this. Yes you can change your mind. Yes you can start now. Yes we need you to start screaming alongside us.

Als je snel abonnee wordt, ontvang je het najaarsmagazine (een migratiespecial) van OneWorld nog thuis, anders moet je tot einde jaar wachten. Juist in deze feitenvrije tijden van extreemrechts: goede journalistiek is niet gratis. Go go go.

Jewish director Sarah Friedland accepted the #VeniceFilmFestival Lion Of The Future Award for Best Debut Film for ‘Familiar Touch’.
During her speech she said that she stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine and says “I am accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and 76th year of occupation. It is our responsibility as filmmakers to use the institutional platforms in which we work to address Israel’s impunity on the global stage” #Venezia81

This Sunday (May 12) at 20:00 at @forum_groningen, we continue our CINEMATIC BEAUTY film series with Bright Star (2009), Jane Campion’s feminist biopic and coming-of-age costume drama about Romantic poet John Keats. Our PhD student Jakob Boer will introduce the film.

One of the most disrespectful and dismissive takes I’ve seen from a writer on here.
The suggestion that—after 15,000 caged children have been slaughtered with our weapons—we’re all just out here virtue signaling, is beyond offensive.
When I use the word “genocide,” I mean it.
