Israeli settlers violently attacked Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” today.
After an ambulance arrived to take him to a hospital, Israeli soldiers forced the ambulance to stop and abducted him. Since then, Hamdan’s whereabouts and condition are unknown.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
