π΄ Oscar-winning Palestinian director of No Other Land, Hamdan Ballal, says Israeli settlers, led by settler Shem Tov Lusky, attacked his home again. Lusky is the same settler who assaulted him after he returned from Los Angeles last year.
Ballal said that after his family called police to report settlers entering their land, Israeli forces arrived, raided the house, beat those inside, arrested four relatives, and left one of his brothers hospitalized.
A recent Israeli court order was meant to bar non-residents from the area and βmake things a bit quieter,β Ballal said. Instead, βthe opposite has been true.β Settler harassment has intensified, authorities have failed to enforce the ruling, and βtoday they joined the settlers in the attack.β
He is urging journalists and diplomats to visit on February 17.

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal:
This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after I returned from Los Angeles--Shem Tov Lusky--again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital.
I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com
Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day.
We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky--the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year--came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital.

Rep. Jamie Raskin says he conducted an unannounced oversight visit to Baltimore's ICE facility and found conditions that were "disgraceful": 60 men crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in a room 24/7, with one toilet, no showers, and aluminum foil blankets for sleeping. Despite a $75B budget under Kristi Noem, he describes the treatment as inhumane. Raskin said he is demanding immediate answers and action.

@RepRaskin
I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether itβs for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. Weβre demanding immediate answers and action.
