oatmeal<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Eurovision</span></a> / Israel still allowed to maintain access to platforms of cultural diplomacy despite an ongoing genocide </p><p>Israel's strategic deployment of cultural representation in the face of allegations of genocide is relentless. While facing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ICJ</span></a> investigation and scholarly condemnation of a genocide that has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinians deliberately and systematically murdered by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IDF</span></a> (using U.S.-supplied weaponry,) Israel's Eurovision participation—featuring a survivor of the October 7 attack—is attempting, once again, to instrumentalize personal victimhood in service of state legitimation. </p><p>It’s difficult to ignore the fact that this centering of Israeli suffering within international cultural forums occurs simultaneously with the systematic marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and experiences. The disproportionate media attention given to Israel's Eurovision candidacy, relative to, say, coverage of ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, not to mention a brutal occupation, reflects broader patterns of narrative control that obscure accountability for actions against an occupied population. </p><p>As one Israeli commentator wrote, “the song written for her [Yuval Raphae] by Keren Peles lacks even a trace of originality and freshness, resembling something more on the level of a young talent night at an unpopular brasserie - and conveys an oppressive sense of extra effort to be appealing.[…] And if that doesn't help either, one can always say that the problem isn't the lyrics, the melody, the French, the clip, the Keren, or the Peles: in the end, everyone is antisemitic.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ynet.co.il/entertainment/artic</span><span class="invisible">le/bjkqmw3s1x</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br /><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GazaGenocide</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eurovision2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>eurovision2025</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/yuvalabraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>yuvalabraham</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hasbara" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hasbara</span></a></p><p>* Edit: name Yuval Raphael</p>

Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."</p><p><a href="https://www.bam.org/film/2024/nyff-no-other-land" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bam.org/film/2024/nyff-no-othe</span><span class="invisible">r-land</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrooklynNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrooklynNY</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WestBank</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Film" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Film</span></a></p>

Premiered at the 74th Berlinale, the debut feature won both the juried documentary award and the Audience Award in its section, Panorama—amply deserved honors for its adroit, affecting and infuriating portrayal of a tight-knit Palestinian community resisting Israel’s relentless campaign of expulsion. Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham, two of the co-directors, are also extensively on screen. Adra, whose father was also an activist, offers the film’s primary eyes and ears, both through the offenses he hustles to record at mortal risk—he’s essentially a war photographer who lives inside the war—and through the archival video that conveys his memories of growing up there. Abraham, an Israeli journalist, befriends Adra in the course of reporting, and the two grow closer as he gets invested in the survival of Adra’s community, whose adults and children we see menaced, shot at and pushed into living in a cave as homes, a schoolhouse and other buildings are demolished.</p><p>"The film’s excellence and the courage required to make it are worth underlining amid the fractious politics of this year’s Berlinale, which was lambasted for policing speech about the very issues addressed so cogently by a film the festival programmed and honored. (The latest news at press time was a bizarre clarification from the German Ministry of Culture that the Culture Minister’s applause at the prize ceremony was intended only for the Israeli member of the No Other Land filmmaking team, i.e., Abraham, and not Adra. Abraham reported death threats after making his acceptance speech, whose words echoed his answers here.) But when I interviewed Adra and Abraham in a lounge tucked away in the Palast, it was barely midway through the festival, and they were only two screenings into a festival edition that would be defined by the strength of its nonfiction selection—perhaps none quite so urgent and on point as No Other Land."</p><p>Read more:<br /><a href="https://filmmakermagazine.com/125182-interview-basel-adra-yuval-abraham-no-other-land/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">filmmakermagazine.com/125182-i</span><span class="invisible">nterview-basel-adra-yuval-abraham-no-other-land/</span></a></p><p>Film trailer:<br /><a href="https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/award-winning-doc-about-palestine-no-other-land-official-trailer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">firstshowing.net/2024/award-wi</span><span class="invisible">nning-doc-about-palestine-no-other-land-official-trailer/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoWar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasfireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CeasfireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaSolidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GazaSolidarity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rafa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rafa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JVP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JVP</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Film" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Film</span></a></p>
