A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.
@LisettedeJonghS@DeboraPost@hartvoordelft Niet heel slim om je telefoonnummer te delen op een open platform.
Naast het feit dat iedereen je nummer nu heeft, kan het door hackers worden gebruikt….
🔴 Oxfam Novib, Amnesty International, PAX en The Rights Forum dagen de Nederlandse Staat voor de rechter vanwege diens opstelling ten aanzien van de oorlog in Gaza, in het bijzonder door het doorzetten van wapenexport naar Israël.

On February 10th 2023, "A United Vision for Iran's Future" was announced at the Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
This Thread takes a look behind the curtain to present one of the organizers of this event. 1/9
Brussels #IranRevolution protest was supposed to be a platform for all cultural and political backgrounds.
Yet again fascist monarchists attack other protesters with different flags and banners.
Is this your idea of democracy @PahlaviReza?

What were their last thoughts? Were they able to express their last wish? What about their hopes and dreams they had for the future? Will we ever be able to persecute those responsible for this?
Broken angry hearts is all that's left...

Vuile walgelijke moordenaars zijn ze. Ze hangen hem “gewoon” midden op straat aan een kraan op. Kranen die gebruikt moeten worden om een land op te bouwen, het Iraanse regime gebruikt ze om onze jonge generatie te vermoorden. @DutchMFA graag hun ambassadeurs op het matje roepen!
@MarijnissenL Ontzettend veel dank voor uw steun. Het betekend de wereld voor ons en voor de jongeren die voor vrijheid aan het strijden zijn in Iran! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
.@NazaninNour Since when did you become a human right activist? Was it when you were bashing Trump or was it when you freely went to Iran? I had no idea that a human right activist can safely go to Iran! By the way, on 2019 when 1500 protesters were shut, did their rights matter?
