Synopsis:
Depuis plus de 5 ans, Basel Adra, un activiste palestinien en Cisjordanie, filme l’expulsion de sa communauté par l'occupation israélienne qui détruit progressivement les villages et chasse ses habitants. Il rencontre Yuval, un journaliste israélien, qui le soutient dans ses démarches. Une amitié inattendue voit le jour. Ce film réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien de quatre jeunes militants a été réalisé comme un acte de résistance créative sur la voie d'une plus grande justice.

================

Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini
est un cinéaste et militant des droits de l'homme palestinien. En 2024, il co-réalise le documentaire No Other Land, qui remporte l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars le 2 mars 2025.

Il a travaillé comme agriculteur, photographe et chercheur. Il est bénévole pour l'organisation israélienne de défense des droits de l'homme B'Tselem en tant que chercheur sur le terrain.

En 2024, il co-réalise, aux côtés de Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, le film documentaire No Other Land de 2024, sur les colonies israéliennes et la violence en Cisjordanie. En 2025, Le film est acclamé par la critique, remportant l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars,.

Le 24 mars 2025, Hamdan Ballal, est agressé à son domicile à Susya, dans le sud de la Cisjordanie, par des colons israéliens armés. Blessé et ensanglanté, il est évacué en ambulance, mais des soldats israéliens entrent dans l'ambulance et embarquent Hamdan Ballal. Deux autres Palestiniens sont également arrêtés, sans contact possible avec leur avocate. Il est relâché par les autorités israéliennes 24 heures après (25 mars 2025), ayant passé selon son avocate « la nuit menotté et les yeux bandés dans une base militaire (israélienne), tandis que deux soldats le rouaient de coups ». Selon Ouest France « ce harcèlement violent des villageois palestiniens est désormais quotidien en Cisjordanie occupée » et une « mise en abime » de son documentaire.

-----------------

Yuval Abraham
est un journaliste d'investigation et réalisateur israélien.

Il apprend l’arabe en partie grâce à l’un de ses grands-pères, originaire du Yémen. Une de ses grands-mères est née dans un camp de concentration italien en Libye et une partie de sa famille a été tuée pendant l’Holocauste. Grâce à sa maîtrise de la langue, qu’il enseigne en Israël en parallèle de ses premiers reportages dans des médias israéliens, comme le magazine +972, il participe à des actions pour empêcher les colons israéliens de détruire des maisons palestiniennes, en territoires occupés, en s’installant sur place dans des familles de Cisjordanie.

En 2020, Yuval Abraham crée la plate-forme We Beyond the Fence (« Nous au-delà du mur »), avec Ahmed Alnaouq, un journaliste palestinien : le site propose des textes, traduits en hébreu, qui racontent le quotidien des Palestiniens de l’enclave sous blocus depuis 2007. Le projet est de faire entendre à un public israélien les « voix palestiniennes », après avoir mis en place une idée similaire, en anglais, sur We Are NOT Numbers ! (« Nous ne sommes pas des nombres »), dès 2014. Le projet s’arrête brusquement en novembre 2023, quand 21 membres de la famille d’Ahmed Alnaouq sont tués dans une frappe aérienne de l’armée israélienne.

Il révèle pendant la guerre de Gaza l'existence du programme militaire d’intelligence artificielle Lavender (« lavande »), qui, au moyen d’algorithmes, a automatisé l’identification de cibles. Ce système a été largement utilisé au cours de cette guerre par l'armée israélienne pour déclencher des frappes aériennes responsables de milliers de morts civils. Il révèle également les pressions du Mossad contre la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) pour l’empêcher d'enquêter sur Israël. Il dispose de nombreux contacts dans le renseignement israélien.

-----------------

Basel Adra (ou Al-Adra)
est un réalisateur, avocat et journaliste palestinien.
Il a documenté les tentatives de Tsahal (Forces de défense israéliennes) d'expulser les villageois palestiniens de la Cisjordanie occupée et les violences commises par les colons israéliens.

Adra est aussi activiste et photographe bénévole pour B'Tselem. Il travaille comme journaliste pour les publications en ligne +972 Magazine et Local Call avec le photojournaliste Oren Ziv, qui a écrit l'article de +972 Magazine suite aux allégations de Channel 12 contre al-Adra.

En 2022, il a été agressé alors qu'il filmait les FDI en train de démolir une structure qu'il avait construite, et détenu dans des conditions difficiles après avoir filmé une attaque d'un coordinateur de la sécurité de l'armée israélienne en 2023.

En 2021, les organes de presse HaKol HaYehudi et Channel 12 ont accusé al-Adra d'avoir mis le feu à un bâtiment dans les collines d'Hébron (Cisjordanie), affirmant qu'il avait tenté de faire porter le chapeau de l'incident à des colons juifs et à des soldats des Forces de défense israéliennes (FDI). Les images des caméras corporelles utilisées par Channel 12 montrent au contraire que l'incendie a été provoqué par une grenade lacrymogène tirée par l'armée israélienne et que l'on voit al-Adra tenter de l'éteindre. Depuis lors, Channel 12 News et les médias de droite en Israël n'ont pas réussi à fournir de preuves à l'appui de leurs allégations contre al-Adra, et la chaîne d'information a déclaré qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention d'enquêter plus avant sur l'incident.

#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.

#Khalil

"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."

They released Hamdan Ballal. But what happened?

Shortly after Palestinian residents had finished their daily Ramadan fast dozens of masked Israeli settlers entered the West Bank village of Susiya.

Some of the settlers were armed with batons, others had knives and one of them was holding an M16 rifle. Among them were a group of Israeli soldiers who escorted the settlers inside the village.
Minutes later, the settlers walked straight over to the house of Hamdan Ballal. The settlers started throwing stones against his house, witnesses said, and chased Ballal to his house, beating him and eventually handing him over to the military. Handcuffed and blindfolded by the soldiers, Ballal, bleeding from his head, was moved to a military vehicle.

#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."

Miami Beach Mayor Threatens To Close Down Cinema For Showing Oscar-Winner ‘No Other Land’; Director Says Banning Doc “Won’t Work”

#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, 2025

LOS 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."
