I was in my early twenties, and I have never forgotten watching this on the news. That was the moment I started paying attention to the Palestinian cause. 1/3

I'm standing with Karam, Hamdan's 7 year old son, near the blood of Hamdan's in his house, after settlers lynched him. Hamdan, co-director of our film No Other Land, is still missing after soldiers abducted him, injured and bleeding. This is how they erase Masafer Yatta.
#NoOtherLand co-director Hamdan Ballal was reportedly attacked and injured by Israeli settlers, then abducted from the ambulance he was placed in
Co-director Yuval Abraham says there has been no sign of Hamdan since
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
”¿Por qué los gazatíes no se levantan y derrocan a Hamás?”
Esta exigencia, común en el discurso israelí, ignora que viven bajo asedio, represión y pobreza extrema.
Mientras Netanyahu evitó durante años eliminar a Hamás por razones políticas, ahora culpa a la población civil por no hacerlo.
Ni los israelíes, con protestas masivas, han logrado cambiar su propio gobierno.
Pretender que un pueblo empobrecido y atrapado pueda hacerlo es una narrativa deshonesta que solo sirve para justificar la violencia contra ellos.

Germany, the only country where two Universities cancel a lecture by the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian Territories @FranceskAlbs - due to political pressure. Germany, what are you afraid of? That the wall of lies you cemented will crumble?
