We stand in solidarity with the 6 criminalized Palestinian human rights organizations. We will continue to spotlight @Addameer for their tireless work in support of incarcerated Palestinians on our #impact page. Their efforts have been an inspiration for our own.
My latest for @TheNation. Citing expansive & characteristically anti-Palestinian terror legislation, the Israeli regime accused 6 Palestinian human rights organizations of plotting โthe destruction of Israelโ & effectively criminalized them. https://t.co/4KbqBbSP3Z
Israeli police officer strikes Palestinian who complains to him about an officer who beat him. This on the setting of some of our film's crucial scenes: Damascus Gate, Al Quds.
"I objected to serve in the Israeli military because I refused to serve the apartheid regime of Israel."
These siblings don't want to be part of Israel's oppressive system, so they refused to serve in Israel's occupying army.
It cost one of them their freedom.
โThe young people in @ObjectorFilm are courageous yet ordinaryโthey ask us to consider how the machinery of power in society operates and what would happen if we pulled our own lever...in the direction of dignity for everyone." @FilmDailyNews Molly Stuart https://t.co/tdXlY4Cesf
@ObjectorFilm by @mollstu and @amitaibenabba is an incredible narrative about Israel, Palestine and personal responsibility. We highly recommend it! Find it on @Vimeo
These are particularly dark times in Israel/Palestine and an alternative to brutality and apartheid could not be more urgent.
Watch our film for another path -- you can now find us also on True Story:

We got this quote from the @guardian the day of the Israeli army's brutal assault on Palestinians, resulting in 9 dead children in Gaza.
To Israelis: refuse to participate!
