I saw the movie No Other Land… here’s a return to see what’s happening in one of those villages: 972mag.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?...
Palestinians awoke to bulldozers. Their village was destroyed by noon
Within hours, Israeli forces demolished homes, wells, and even caves in the West Bank hamlet of Khilet al-Dabe’, leaving families with nowhere to shelter.

Wow. Kenneth Roth is in Berlin! He was the head of Human Rights Watch for 30 years from 1993 to 2022. He lived in the human rights sector -- and was an active shaper -- as a keen analyst and pugnacious advocate. And he's here this week. I am looking forward to Q & A. berlin.bard.edu/events/looki...
