Must a Palestinian have an Oscar for the world to care when he’s attacked? (Sleman Altehe | +972 Magazine, 2025-03-25)

972mag.com/hamdan-ballal-attac
------

"When news broke of the settler ambush [on the Palestinian village of Susiya], the headlines focused almost exclusively on one thing: [Hamdan] Ballal’s Oscar win."

"... the emphasis was clear: the assault and detention of a Palestinian is notable because he holds international acclaim."

"Why must a Palestinian’s intellectual recognition be the basis for solidarity? Why does the global media insist on highlighting that Ballal is an Oscar-winning filmmaker?

"This kind of solidarity, grounded in fame or intellectual achievement, dangerously aligns with colonial patterns of recognition. It reproduces the logic that some lives — those legible to Western audiences — are more grievable, more shocking to violate, and more worthy of defense."

It Took an Oscar: How German Media Discovered Settler Violence (The Third Draft - Hanno Hauenstein, 2025-03-29)

open.substack.com/pub/hannohau
———

“The settler attack on No Other Land co-director Hamdan Ballal rightly sparked outrage. Even Axel Springer’s outlets are covering the West Bank. What’s behind this sudden empathy for a Palestinian?”

“No Other Land recently won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, after receiving an award at the Berlinale last year – followed by a disturbing campaign led by Germany’s right-wing tabloid media, Berlin’s mayor, and the country’s justice and culture ministers, …”

“In much of #Germany’s media coverage this week, the Oscar was the hook: an award-winning filmmaker, attacked by settlers. The headline wrote itself. Unlike so many victims of state-backed Israeli violence – especially in Gaza – Hamdan Ballal was named, quoted, made visible. For once, newsrooms simply spelled out the facts.”

Academy Apologizes for Not Naming Hamdan Ballal Amid Outcry (Variety, 2025-03-28)

———

“The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has sent out a statement to its 11,000 members following mounting criticism over its lack of public support for Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land,’ who was recently detained by Israeli forces.

“On Friday, the Academy issued a follow-up letter explicitly naming Ballal and apologizing for omitting both him and the film from a statement sent earlier in the week.”

Backlash to Academy Awards response over No Man’s Land co-director’s ‘lynching’ grows; board meets.

Over 600 members of the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Science have condemned the body’s response to the attack by West Bank settlers on the Hamdan Ballal, co-director of this year’s Best Documentary Oscar winner, No Man’s Land. Ballal reported that the settlers in the West Bank referenced the Oscar during the attack, which his Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham described as a ‘lynching’. The letter, signed by stars including Natasha Lyonne, Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix, Ava DuVernay, Alfonso Cuarón, Penélope Cruz, Emma Thompson, Tony Kushner and Jonathan Glazer comes after the Academy belatedly condemned the attack in a statement that didn’t mention Ballal by name and referenced the Academy membership’s “many unique viewpoints”. In response to the members’ letter, the Academy’s board has called an extraordinary meeting to discuss a new response.

Update: AMPAS's governors have apologized for their initial statement over Israeli authorities' treatment of Palestinian Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal. “On Wednesday, we sent a letter in response to reports of violence against Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal, co-director of No Other Land, connected to his artistic expression,” CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang wrote to members today. “We regret that we failed to directly acknowledge Mr. Ballal and the film by name.” They continued: “We sincerely apologize to Mr. Ballal and all artists who felt unsupported by our previous statement and want to make it clear that the Academy condemns violence of this kind anywhere in the world. We abhor the suppression of free speech under any circumstances.” @Deadline has more details and context to share,

The governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS, the organization that gives out the Oscars) have met today to discuss their "belated and tepid" response to the beating and detention of Oscar-winning Palestinian documentarian Hamdan Ballal. Leading members of the Academy including Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Emma Thompson, Ava DuVernay and Adam McKay signed a letter demanding a more forceful response to Ballal's treatment by Israeli authorities, saying the original statement "fell far short of the sentiments this moment calls for." Here's more from @Deadline.

Solidarité avec Hamdan Ballal et les Palestinien·ne·s de Cisjordanie occupée

- raar.info/2025/03/solidarite-a

Le 24 mars 2025, alors que Hamdan Ballal, co-réalisateur palestinien du documentaire primé aux Oscars « No Other Land » participait à une réunion de rupture du jeûne du Ramadan dans son village de Susiya, en Cisjordanie occupée, un groupe d’environ 15 colons israéliens masqués a attaqué les participants avec des pierres et des bâtons.

Lors de cette agression, Ballal a subi des blessures graves à la tête et au ventre.

Au lieu de recevoir immédiatement des soins médicaux, il a été arrêté par les forces militaires israéliennes, menotté, les yeux bandés, et détenu pendant la nuit dans une base militaire avant d’être libéré et conduit à l’hôpital le lendemain matin.

Il a déclaré avoir été battu à nouveau pendant sa détention.

Cet incident illustre tragiquement la violence systématique exercée par les colons israéliens en Cisjordanie occupée et la complicité des forces militaires israéliennes dans la perpétuation de ces abus, ce qui est justement le sujet du film « No Other Land ».

Tourné entre 2019 et 2023, il met en lumière la vie des Palestiniens sous occupation militaire israélienne dans la région de Masafer Yatta, proche de Hébron.

Pour rappel, du 1er Janvier 2024 au 31 Janvier 2025 on dénombrait en Cisjordanie : 555 Palestinien·ne·s tués dont 102 enfants, plus de 3 500 blessé·e·s, parmi lesquels 600 enfants, 1 580 attaques de colons, ainsi que plus de 32 000 personnes déplacées, représentant le chiffre le plus élevé depuis 1967.

Nous condamnons fermement ces actions qui sont en violation flagrante du droit international et de multiples résolutions des Nations Unies, notamment la Résolution 2334 (2016) du Conseil de sécurité, qui demande à Israël de cesser immédiatement toutes ses activités de colonisation en territoire palestinien occupé, y compris Jérusalem-Est.

Il est impératif que la communauté internationale prenne des mesures concrètes pour mettre fin à ces violations des droits humains et assurer une paix juste et durable dans la région.

🎬 Il reçoit un Oscar à Los Angeles.
Quelques jours plus tard, il est passé à tabac par des colons israéliens, puis arrêté, ensanglanté, devant son fils de 7 ans.

En Palestine, tenir une caméra, c’est déjà un acte de résistance.
Solidarité avec le peuple palestinien et avec celles et ceux qui ne se taisent pas, qui filment « ce qu’ils savent, ce qu’ils voient, ce qui est vrai ».
