Pogrom

Oscar-Winning Palestinian Filmmaker ‘Lynched’ By Israeli Settlers

March 25, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary film ‘No Other Land,’ was beaten and injured by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank on 24 March before being arrested by Israeli security forces. “A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal … They beat him, and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called and took him. No sign of him since,” Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham announced via social media. Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers descended on the Palestinian village of Susiya in the Masafer Yatta area of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank on Monday night, destroying property and attacking civilians, according to the activist group Center for Jewish Nonviolence.

‘NY Times’ Buries Israeli Military Complicity In West Bank Pogrom

March 5, 2023 James North, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Yesterday’s New York Times report on the rising violence in occupied West Bank Palestine is an insult to our intelligence. The paper could not ignore the latest Israeli settler/colonist pogrom against Palestinians, but reporters Patrick Kingsley and Isabel Kershner used time-honored techniques to downplay its seriousness and the responsibility for it. The article’s most dishonest feature was that it buried the most alarming news — Israeli government military complicity in the ferocious attacks — down in paragraph 26. Here’s the relevant section: Asked why the Israeli Army did not prevent the settler violence, and even stood by as some attacks took place, a military official, who requested anonymity in line with protocol, acknowledged mistakes and said commanders had not expected the settlers to fan out through Huwara’s back streets instead of remaining on the main thoroughfare.
