Is that shocking that an open critic of Israeli settlers gets in a group of those same people he bashed in his movie and is then attacked by them? Shocking, just plain shocking. Who could have predicted it?

In any rational world we would be demanding his freedom, but no we live in this hellscape instead where people will tell me he is the agitator, he was the one who did wrong, but no the reality is he expressed the truth and was made to suffer for it. Free Palestinian people and free the West Bank.

Dear NPR, if you had spoken out for the Palestinian people and against the Israeli genocide of the people in Gaza this might not be happening. Your silence was complicity. Your refusal to call it genocide enabled the Israeli military to end the lives of thousands upon thousands of women & children.

NPR’s “moral high ground”…is to report the news accurately. Often, extremely difficult as they have to rely on third-party descriptions, sources which cannot always be validated and Israel itself, which is very hostile to reporters. What is so difficult for the readers here to comprehend?

"A group of 10 to 20 masked settlers with stones and sticks also assaulted activists with the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, smashing their car windows and slashing tires to make them flee the area" Jeez, they're like rabid dogs
