No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.
Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.
People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

The day before #internationalwomensday the UK papers lead with shock about violent misogyny...like we've only just noticed it. Women's Day was founded to fight oppression and I fear it has lost its edge. Women still need to find their political voice. Please Do NOT say 'Happy Women's Day' tomorrow.
