Disgusting abuse of dogs, worse than in Nazi Germany. Israel continues to violate international human rights law. Supporters and suppliers of Israel should be held morally, if not legally, complicit.

KNEECAP STATEMENT

14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us.

We deny this โ€˜offenceโ€™ and will vehemently defend ourselves.

This is political policing.

This is a carnival of distraction.

We are not the story. Genocide is.

As they profit from genocide, they use an โ€˜anti-terror lawโ€™ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage.

A charge not serious enough to even warrant their โ€˜crown courtโ€™, instead a court that doesnโ€™t have a jury. Whatโ€™s the objective?

To restrict our ability to travel.

To prevent us speaking to young people across the world.

To silence voices of compassion.

To prosecute artists who dare speak out.

Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification.

The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.

Mark Ruffalo, Penรฉlope Cruz, Alfonso Cuaron and More Than 500 Oscar Voters Criticize Academy for Not Supporting Hamdan Ballal: โ€˜It Is Indefensibleโ€™ Mark Ruffalo, Penelope Cruz, Alfonso Cuaron and more than 500 Oscar voters sign letter criticizing Academy's response to Hamdan Ballal kidnapping.

More than 500 members of AMPAS, including actor Mark Ruffalo, director Ava DuVernay and Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarรณn, have signed an open letter condemning the Academyโ€™s lack of public support for Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal following his recent detainment by Israeli authorities.

Sadly, the US Academy, which awarded us an Oscar three weeks ago, declined to publicly support Hamdan Ballal while he was beaten and tortured by Israeli soldiers and settlers.

The European Academy voiced support, as did countless other award groups and festivals. Several US Academy membersโ€”especially in the documentary branchโ€”pushed for a statement, but it was ultimately refused. We were told that because other Palestinians were beaten up in the settler attack, it could be considered unrelated to the film, so they felt no need to respond.

In other words, while Hamdan was clearly targeted for making No Other Land (he recalled soldiers joking about the Oscar as they tortured him), he was also targeted for being Palestinianโ€”like countless others every day who are disregarded. This, it seems, gave the Academy an excuse to remain silent when a filmmaker they honored, living under Israeli occupation, needed them the most.

Itโ€™s not too late to change this stance. Even now, issuing a statement condemning the attack on Hamdan and the Masafer Yatta community would send a meaningful message and serve as a deterrent for the future.

Paramount Retreats on D.E.I. Policies The company has a merger pending before the Federal Communications Commission, whose chief has criticized programs focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Paramount, the parent company of BET, MTV and the Paramount film studio, said on Wednesday it was rethinking its approach to DEI policies amid a broader backlash driven by the Trump administration.
