🔴 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 “make things a bit quieter,” Ballal said. Instead, “the opposite has been true.” Settler harassment has intensified, authorities have failed to enforce the ruling, and “today they joined the settlers in the attack.” He is urging journalists and diplomats to visit on February 17. Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם @yuval_abraham 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.

Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites.

The term ‘ancient Palestine’, as many ancient historians…have agreed, conveys the true multiculturalism of ancient Palestine. It is the best way to reject the weaponizing of ancient heritage for ethnonationalist and genocidal purposes’

On p.10, he says: "I believe the methods needed to understand oursleves do not yet exist".

On p.11, he says: "We are [...] trying to climb outside of our own minds, an effort that [...] I regard as fundamental".

My thoughts on "What Makes Academic Writing Human(e): A Critical Realist Response" in: Bouchard & Zotzmann, eds. #CriticalRealism in #AppliedLinguistics #CambridgeUniversityPress 2026

#AcademicWriting
#WhatMakesWritingAcademic
#WhatMakesAcademicWritingHumane
#GenAI
www.cambridge.org/core/books/a...
Summary Drawing from critical realism and building on previous academic studies and writing theories and practices, the author advances approaches to academic writing that are both human and humane, by situating academic writing within the broader critical realist project of furthering human flourishing and emancipation; of what it means to be human; and of why things matter to people. Addressing what counts as human(e) in academic writing has become pressing, as concerns about machine-generated texts, such as Large Language Models like ChatGPT challenge understandings of truth, knowledge, and justice. Underlying the argument in this chapter is the assumption that writing in the academy is a social practice (specifically, a method of enquiry) that should be oriented towards epistemic virtues including commitment to truth and socially just standards of excellence. For academic writing to fulfil such commitments, the author argues that it needs to be human(e). For it to be human(e), it requires a writer–agent–knower to rationally judge between educative and harmful academic writing theories and practices, in the interests of human flourishing and emancipation.

❗️The revelation that over 2,000 Britons served in the IDF during genocide raises major legal questions for the UK.

The International Court of Justice has advised all states they are obligated to refrain from helping Israel maintain its occupation.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Apt brief report. Shame about the Lancet's editorial stance because to be neutral is to side with the oppressor:

"The Lancet Group takes a neutral position with respect to territorial claims in published text."

#FreePalestine from its brutal illegal occupiers🍉
The genocide in Gaza is a defining ethical test for the global public health community, social scientists, and academic associations. Silence is not an option. As scholars and health professionals, we face a stark choice: either we uphold our collective ethical responsibility and speak out to prevent further mass violence and starvation, or we will be remembered for our selective silence and inaction during one of the most urgent moral and public health crises of our time.

Perverse to ask students to foot the bill for the #nhs via loan repayments when they are taxed as earners, too - a double tax.

Everyone relies on the nhs, whether you think you do or not, especially the rich: you need healthy workers to make money for you😡
