#972Magazine was also the first to report about #Lavender, I remember.
Seems like the filmmakers are now organising several independent screenings through USA. (Or better, urged to do so.)

A Textbook Case of Genocide: Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening? (Raz Segal | Jewish Currents, 2023-10-13)
https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
------
Note this analysis was issued on Oct 13th of 2023 . Respect.
“Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba,… But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians…”
“Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, and unashamed… And those of us watching around the world are derelict in our responsibility to prevent them from doing so.”
🙋
According to https://journa.host/@w7voa/113833951170679183 f., Pr. Biden himself admits that both -present and incoming- admin people played certain roles.
“For the past few days we have been speaking as one team … I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team so that we’re all speaking with the same voice.”
NYT Bars Quakers From Using “Genocide” in Ad and Liberal Squeamishness Over the ‘G’ Word (Citations Needed | Medium, 2025-01-08)
Joyce Ajlouny, General Secretary of the AFSC interviewed by Nima Shirazi & Adam Johnson, audio with transcript. Worth a look. (h/t @gnuhaut)
(Ajlouny) “AFSC has been working in Gaza since 1947… We have staff there. We continue to be providing humanitarian aid. Our staff are… the aid workers who have been displaced and with their families killed and trying to fend for their families… #AFSC is speaking from their voices, from what they tell us every day…”
(Johnson) “[in NYT and WaPo] … you have this kind of institutionalized refusal to connect the dots, that genocidal statements are never put in articles about genocidal acts. The genocidal acts are seen as kind of incidental or bad apples. But there’s never a sense of connecting any dots, which, again, is not something done for Russia or for other countries.”
🙏 Thanks for mentioning. Very much impressed.

Israel confirms it is holding Gaza hospital chief Abu Safiya (BBC, 2025-01-03)
https://bbc.com/news/articles/cj30deeggd7o
———
“Israel has confirmed it is holding Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya after earlier telling a local NGO that it was unaware of his case, sparking concern for his well being.”
“The statement did not offer an explanation for the confusion but repeated that he was suspected of being a ‘terrorist’ and for ‘holding a rank’ in Hamas…”
“On Thursday the IDF told Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) that it had ‘no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question’"
“Meanwhile Amnesty head Agnès Callamard said Israeli authorities must ‘urgently disclose his whereabouts’".

Polish Newspaper: Fearing Arrest Netanyahu to Skip 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation (Jewish Press, 2024-12-20)
🤔
“The right-of-center Polish daily #Rzeczpospolita (circulation of 274,000), on Friday reported … that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend events in #Poland marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz camp, for fear of being arrested in accordance with the order issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“The newspaper quoted Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Władysław Bartoszewski, who is responsible for coordinating the ceremony on January 27 with the participation of several dozen world leaders, who stated, ‘We are obliged to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) in The Hague.’”
A propos “Hamas Flag”, cf. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag/_of/_Hamas.svg
Note: “… there is a confusion about the Hamas flag. One is white with Hamas emblem* on it, and the military branch’s flag is green with a shahada?”

‘Emilia Perez’ wins big at European Film Awards 2024 (Screen Daily, 2024-12-07)
“The documentary prize was won by No Other Land, about the Israeli demolition of villages in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank. It is the latest in a string of wins for Berlinale premiere …”
“Two of its co-directors – Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and Palestinian activist Basel Adra – accepted the reward remotely by video feed. Adra said it was very hard to celebrate the award at a time when ‘the occupation is committing a genocide against my people,’ while Abraham said ethnic cleansing was being carried out against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
“Addressing European governments, Abraham said: ‘It’s not enough to demand a ceasefire. A ceasefire needs to be imposed.’ As they finished their acceptance speech, a shout of ‘Free Palestine’ rang out in the auditorium.”

Poll: 70% of Israelis support second phase of hostage-ceasefire deal | The Times of Israel (2025-02-08)
https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-70-of-israelis-support-second-phase-of-hostage-ceasefire-deal/amp/
———
(The poll cited above)
“Seventy percent of the Israeli public is in favor of continuing to the second phase of the hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas, according to a television poll aired Friday [Channel 12 news], which found a nearly identical figure backs US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip.”
“The survey also asked Israelis if they are for or against Trump’s plan to move Palestinians out of Gaza, with 69% in favor and 18% opposed. The remaining respondents did not know.”
“Despite the plan’s popularity, half of respondents say they don’t believe it will ultimately come to fruition, compared to 36% who think it will.”
