دائرة الحياة والموت: مشهد موت "مُفاسا" من فيلم "الأسد الملك"
د. لؤي وتد
“في زمن يتكشّف فيه الموت يوميًّا أَمام أعيُن الأَطفال عَبر الشّاشات والأخبار والصُوَر…تتحوّل السينما إلى مساحة نفسية وتأملية بل وأخلاقية.”

"تَعني قراءة هذه النصوص التي يكتبها أطفال فلسطين الدّخولَ إلى عالم يتجاور فيه اللعب مع القهر والأمل مع الألم والحُلم مع السّياسة، دون اعتذار أو تلطيف..."

'Dorgham turned nylon walls of tents into projection screens, showing animated films under open sky. Children gathered barefoot on the sand, eyes glittering like stars, waiting for the stories to transport them to a world with no walls' #Gaza @WattadLoaay

Dorgham Qreaiqea led film, theater, and painting projects for children in Gaza with an unshakeable belief in the power of art to transcend the war. An Israeli airstrike killed him.

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. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil, ordering a hearing on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Southern District of New York. The decision came after over a million people signed a petition calling for his freedom and as thousands marched at the New York federal building. Khalil, a permanent resident, was detained by DHS agents who stated they were revoking his green card status.

An attorney for Khalil reported “his spirits are undaunted” and that his arrest is a transparently unconstitutional targeting based on political viewpoint. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, said, “Mahmoud is my rock, … He constantly puts his needs last when it comes to helping others. … I need your help to bring Mahmoud home, so he is here beside me, holding my hand in the delivery room as we welcome our first child into this world.“

💥#Breaking: @IsraelPolice yesterday raided a legendary & wonderful Jerusalem institution, the Educational Bookshop, whose owners, Mahmoud & Ahmed Muna– friends of mine for years– spent the night in jail for the crime of selling books, aka "suspicion of violating public order." The cops didn't dare accuse them of incitement, which requires approval from the public prosecutor. Every book with a Palestinian flag on it was confiscated. Reported by @NirHasson

اليوم كنت بمشي في شوارع رفح وجدت شخص ببيع كُتب، الكتاب بخمسة شيكل -دولار ونصف- وكانت أختي توصيني اني أشتريلها كُتب تقرأ، وانا بتفرج عالكتب وجدتها كُتب عبارة عن رسائل ماجستير ودكتوراه، سألت البائع ليش بتبيعهم؟ بحكيلي عشان الناس تقدر تولع النار والحطب وتقضي يومها

This week, we spoke with Iris Hefets, who in mid-October was detained by police in Berlin while staging a lone protest in which she held up a sign that read “As an Israeli Jew: Stop the genocide in Gaza”.

Yesterday, for the same reason, Iris was arrested once again.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Taking children as hostages, if confirmed, is barbarism, plain and simple, and does nothing to advance the cause of peace, resistance, or ending the occupation.

The response to the ongoing suffering and killing of Palestinian children is not to make Israeli children suffer.

"My right, my wife's right, my kids' right to move around freely on the roads of Judea & Samaria is more important than the right of movement of Arabs. Sorry Muhammad, but this is the reality."
