Synopsis:
Depuis plus de 5 ans, Basel Adra, un activiste palestinien en Cisjordanie, filme l’expulsion de sa communauté par l'occupation israélienne qui détruit progressivement les villages et chasse ses habitants. Il rencontre Yuval, un journaliste israélien, qui le soutient dans ses démarches. Une amitié inattendue voit le jour. Ce film réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien de quatre jeunes militants a été réalisé comme un acte de résistance créative sur la voie d'une plus grande justice.

================

Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini
est un cinéaste et militant des droits de l'homme palestinien. En 2024, il co-réalise le documentaire No Other Land, qui remporte l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars le 2 mars 2025.

Il a travaillé comme agriculteur, photographe et chercheur. Il est bénévole pour l'organisation israélienne de défense des droits de l'homme B'Tselem en tant que chercheur sur le terrain.

En 2024, il co-réalise, aux côtés de Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, le film documentaire No Other Land de 2024, sur les colonies israéliennes et la violence en Cisjordanie. En 2025, Le film est acclamé par la critique, remportant l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars,.

Le 24 mars 2025, Hamdan Ballal, est agressé à son domicile à Susya, dans le sud de la Cisjordanie, par des colons israéliens armés. Blessé et ensanglanté, il est évacué en ambulance, mais des soldats israéliens entrent dans l'ambulance et embarquent Hamdan Ballal. Deux autres Palestiniens sont également arrêtés, sans contact possible avec leur avocate. Il est relâché par les autorités israéliennes 24 heures après (25 mars 2025), ayant passé selon son avocate « la nuit menotté et les yeux bandés dans une base militaire (israélienne), tandis que deux soldats le rouaient de coups ». Selon Ouest France « ce harcèlement violent des villageois palestiniens est désormais quotidien en Cisjordanie occupée » et une « mise en abime » de son documentaire.


Yuval Abraham
est un journaliste d'investigation et réalisateur israélien.

Il apprend l’arabe en partie grâce à l’un de ses grands-pères, originaire du Yémen. Une de ses grands-mères est née dans un camp de concentration italien en Libye et une partie de sa famille a été tuée pendant l’Holocauste. Grâce à sa maîtrise de la langue, qu’il enseigne en Israël en parallèle de ses premiers reportages dans des médias israéliens, comme le magazine +972, il participe à des actions pour empêcher les colons israéliens de détruire des maisons palestiniennes, en territoires occupés, en s’installant sur place dans des familles de Cisjordanie.

En 2020, Yuval Abraham crée la plate-forme We Beyond the Fence (« Nous au-delà du mur »), avec Ahmed Alnaouq, un journaliste palestinien : le site propose des textes, traduits en hébreu, qui racontent le quotidien des Palestiniens de l’enclave sous blocus depuis 2007. Le projet est de faire entendre à un public israélien les « voix palestiniennes », après avoir mis en place une idée similaire, en anglais, sur We Are NOT Numbers ! (« Nous ne sommes pas des nombres »), dès 2014. Le projet s’arrête brusquement en novembre 2023, quand 21 membres de la famille d’Ahmed Alnaouq sont tués dans une frappe aérienne de l’armée israélienne.

Il révèle pendant la guerre de Gaza l'existence du programme militaire d’intelligence artificielle Lavender (« lavande »), qui, au moyen d’algorithmes, a automatisé l’identification de cibles. Ce système a été largement utilisé au cours de cette guerre par l'armée israélienne pour déclencher des frappes aériennes responsables de milliers de morts civils. Il révèle également les pressions du Mossad contre la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) pour l’empêcher d'enquêter sur Israël. Il dispose de nombreux contacts dans le renseignement israélien.


Basel Adra (ou Al-Adra)
est un réalisateur, avocat et journaliste palestinien.
Il a documenté les tentatives de Tsahal (Forces de défense israéliennes) d'expulser les villageois palestiniens de la Cisjordanie occupée et les violences commises par les colons israéliens.

Adra est aussi activiste et photographe bénévole pour B'Tselem. Il travaille comme journaliste pour les publications en ligne +972 Magazine et Local Call avec le photojournaliste Oren Ziv, qui a écrit l'article de +972 Magazine suite aux allégations de Channel 12 contre al-Adra.

En 2022, il a été agressé alors qu'il filmait les FDI en train de démolir une structure qu'il avait construite, et détenu dans des conditions difficiles après avoir filmé une attaque d'un coordinateur de la sécurité de l'armée israélienne en 2023.

En 2021, les organes de presse HaKol HaYehudi et Channel 12 ont accusé al-Adra d'avoir mis le feu à un bâtiment dans les collines d'Hébron (Cisjordanie), affirmant qu'il avait tenté de faire porter le chapeau de l'incident à des colons juifs et à des soldats des Forces de défense israéliennes (FDI). Les images des caméras corporelles utilisées par Channel 12 montrent au contraire que l'incendie a été provoqué par une grenade lacrymogène tirée par l'armée israélienne et que l'on voit al-Adra tenter de l'éteindre. Depuis lors, Channel 12 News et les médias de droite en Israël n'ont pas réussi à fournir de preuves à l'appui de leurs allégations contre al-Adra, et la chaîne d'information a déclaré qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention d'enquêter plus avant sur l'incident.


Rachel Szor
est une réalisatrice, scénographe et directrice de la photographie israélienne.

Elle a fait ses débuts de réalisatrice avec le documentaire No Other Land, coréalisé avec Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Hamdan Ballal, dont la première a eu lieu au Festival du film de Berlin 2024. Cette œuvre lui a valu l'Oscar du meilleur documentaire.

Did you know the Jews were making the Covid vaccines, in Israel, 2 years before the Pandemic? bitchute.com/video/j3QoRIigo6q… . Did you know that the vaccines killed all the test animals so the Jews stopped doing the animal testing and, after tests which seem to be designed to create false positive results, based on the number of false positive tests, a Pandemic was declared and the Jew vaccines which killed all the test animals were unleashed on our people? ("Up to 98% of the positive results, were false positives") tamhunt.medium.com/the-false-p… . Mass death happened immediately from the Jew vaccines and no one in our government tried to stop it (Last part is a compilation of those who died immediately after getting the vaccines - bitchute.com/video/aUVT7QAx1xk… ) . But that was the plan, so not only didn't anyone stop it, politicians in our government who openly profess their loyalty to a foreign power, Israel, illegally mandated them for everyone they could.... These people have not been arrested and with each passing day, more of our soldiers, more of our women, more of our men and more of our children, who got the Jew #vaccines, are "suddenly dying" - minds.com/newsfeed/14664649550…

Karl Marx: Along with the constantly diminishing number of the magnates of capital, who usurp and monopolize all advantages of this process of transformation, grows the mass of misery, oppression, slavery, degradation, exploitation; but with this too grows the revolt of the working-class, a class always increasing in numbers, and disciplined, united, organized by the very mechanism of the process of capitalist production itself. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

However, I'm like, proudly Californian. Much more so than I am proud of being American, at this specific moment. And with the constant barrage of negative news under that hashtag, I would like to bring at least a bit of positivity into that otherwise negative space.

Especially since the majority of the negative news about California is hyperbolic and astroturfed, funded by MAGA and MAGA sympathizers afraid of successful counternarratives to their agenda.

in reply to Lety Does Stuff

Trump's fear of California and his preventative measures to counteract Californian policies and politicians have been well-documented now in books such as “Fight” by Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes and “Revenge” by Alex Isenstadt, just to name a few.

We now know that the increase in right-wing talking points against California towards the latter half of the last election season is due to the Trump campaign's fear of Joe Biden dropping out and California Governor Gavin Newsom taking his place on the ballot.

in reply to Lety Does Stuff

As rumors about Newsom's potential presidential candidacy continue to grow, and as our attorney general, Rob Bonta, steps down from seeking higher office to better focus on suing MAGA for their crimes against democracy, I just know there's gonna be an increase in negativity against my home.

I know that people will once again tear apart the policies that have improved millions of lives and the safety of this planet, for not improving *all* lives and outright *saving* this planet.

Because to MAGA and MAGA sympathizers, striving toward salvation without attaining it is no different than being damned.

Obviously, there's not much I can do about that kind of prejudice. But with the importance of hashtags in timeline curation on Mastodon, I think changing how I write mine to add a little cheer into someone's doomscrolling routine is a net benefit for the health of Fedi.

Anyways, tl;dr: I apologize to everyone who has ever boosted my photos for the notification spam in advance, part 2.

@maybeanerd That's absolutely true, I just felt Germany was an appropriate example as it's the closest nation-state to California's economic output.

bbc.com/news/articles/cly80zlk…

California often functions as a nation, culturally and politically. Its presence in the national news is not unlike the United States' presence in global news. No other state or province accurately compares to it in that regard, so any other analogy I could make would've been even weaker.

The Benefits To Alberta Becoming a American State,
( Best parts of the talk 😀

The amount of investment our agricultural and energy industries would see with companies listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ vs the TSX would be astronomical.

Likewise, without the foreign exchange volatility in dealing with the Canadian dollar, capital would flood into the province, seeing a sustained economic boom unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

The Alberta oil industry struggles constantly to ride market price increases because of the very small pool of labour we can attract to actually implement large energy products.

We almost drained the entire province of Newfoundland in the last boom, and it still wasn’t enough to meet up with labour demands. That isn’t a problem with over 325 million Americans who could cross into our border without any kind of a passport or work visa.

All those factors would also be a boon to all our secondary industries as well: forestry, mining, tech, tourism and financial services.

Cost of living would fall like a stone and living standards would consistently increase.

Then there’s the strength of The American Constitution which actually has meaningful protections for the right to keep and bear arms, property rights, and most importantly freedom of speech.

Oh… and the Oilers and Flames might actually be able to win the Stanley Cup.

( No Canadian team can win because the American teams pay better and players aren’t taxed to de@th as they are in Canada. / That’s why the best Canadian talent moves to the US (and not just in hockey).

Think About it!

Stalin: Power to the Soviets implies a thorough purge of every government institution in the rear and at the front, from top to bottom. Power to the Soviets implies that every "chief" in the rear and at the front must be elected and subject to recall. Power to the Soviets implies that all "persons in authority" in town and country, in the army and navy, in "departments" and "establishments," on the railways and in post and telegraph offices must be elected and subject to recall. Power to the Soviets means the dictatorship of the proletariat revolutionary peasantry. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ukrainian president welcomes Russian overtures, but says ceasefire must come before peace talks


Zelenskyy welcomes Russia's peace talk offer but demands a full ceasefire first as Putin rejects preconditions and proposes talks in Istanbul on May 16

Someone gave me a helium balloon the other day and I'm amazed at how I forgot what I learned as a kid: Which is that playing with a helium balloon can be loads of fun and a great distraction. I liked giving it a nudge every time it inched close to my desk, only to watch it meander its way back in a minute or two.

Note to self: Tethering a helium balloon to your desk is not a great idea if you also have touch screens. I was AFK for like 10 minutes and come back and the thing had gotten my browser into quite a mess, and there were like 10 tabs open for various sketchy sites. Thankfully this was all in a VM, but just FYI: Balloons may look harmless, but they definitely have a mind of their own.

We are misunderstanding the strenghts of open source


We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Siège de Valéria


Celui-ci, c'est typiquement mon genre de jeu solo préféré. Jets de dés, combos, cartes, puzzle game, issue binaire (on se fait laminer par le jeu, et parfois, sur un malentendu et une série de jets de dés favorables, on le bat).
On doit défendre sa forteresse assiégée par une horde de 5x5 cartes. Les 4 premières lignes sont des créatures (qui attaquent et font des dégats lorsqu'elles sont en première ligne), la dernière, des engins de siège (qui ont une portée définie). On doit attaquer tout ça et éviter que notre forteresse tombe. À chaque manche, on lance notre pool de dés (7 au départ, mais ça varie durant la partie), on résout les engins de siège à portée (dégats éventuels), on tire un évenement (forcément défavorable), et enfin on attaque (on assigne des dés aux créatures en première ligne). Quand on bat une créature, on gagne sa carte qui a un pouvoir (généralement, de manipulation des dés qu'il nous reste). En fin de manche, les premières lignes non-vaincues nous font des dégats, tout le monde avance vers la fortersess, et on pioche de nouvelles créatures/engins pour combler les trous. Condition de victoire, venir à bout de la pile de 18 engins de siège (même si il reste des créatures). Conditions de défaite, prendre trop de dégats (4) sur une des 5 colonnes, avoir un engin de siège en première ligne lors de la résolution des engins, épuiser la pile de créatures lors du renforcement. Pour résumer, 7 tours pour casser 18 cartes qui ne sont pas immédiatement à portée, tuer des créatures pour bénéficier de leur pouvoir, mais pas trop pour ne pas épuiser leur pioche. Trèèèès dificile ! J'ai encore jamais gagné (4 parties).
Les parties durent environ 45min, le niveau est très élevé mais la mécanique est fluide et les combos hyper satisfaisants (donc on y revient plein d'espoir). La rejouabilité est très grande car la grille de 25 cartes n'est jamais la même, et on gagne parfois des "héros" qui nous permettent des combos supplémentaires.
L'artwork est démentiel (comme sur toute la gamme des jeux "Valéria"), le matos de grande qualité. J'adore ce jeu. 35€ en neuf, chopé à 15€ en occas', une affaire vu comment je l'apprécie.

Gaza : panique morale et courage de dire


Dans un article publié par The Palestine Chronicle, l’historien israélien Ilan Pappé explique avec beaucoup d’acuité le silence de l’Occident sur la Palestine – en particulier celui des universitaires, des journalistes et des politiciens – par un phénomène de « panique morale » qui conduit à une absence de compassion et de solidarité avec les victimes du génocide en cours à Gaza.

Voyager en voiture électrique : simple comme bonjour.


#transports #VE

Voyage à Lille le 6 mai 2025 en Ioniq 38 2020.

trajet de 500 km, température d'environ 18-22°C ce jour-là, donc idéale.

5h30 de route environ. Aller à 130 une fois passé Roissy, retour plutôt 110/120.

1h20 de charge environ (54kWh rechargés)

Départ chargé à 100%. Retour 32%. J'aurais donc pu charger un peu moins longtemps pour arriver entre 10 et 20% de batterie, en utilisant la planification de charge avec par exemple ABRP.

Clairement la Ioniq 38, malgré sa capacité de batterie limitée et sa vitesse de recharge très faible par rapport aux normes actuelles, reste parfaitement utilisable grâce à sa consommation très faible par rapport à la majorité des véhicules du marché (à part la BMW i4 et la Tesla Model 3). En pratique, elle ne doit pas mettre plus de temps que des voitures comme la R5 (52kWH, charge à 85kWh) qui consomment beaucoup plus que la Ioniq 38 sur autoroute (R5 : 21 à 23 kWh/100 km à 130).

On constate sur les graphiques qu'il n'est pas intéressant de charger au-delà de 75% : la puissance de charge baisse alors à 22 kW. Une charge typique est donc de 20 kWh environ, de quoi parcourir environ 150 km à 110.

Ainsi, sur un long trajet autoroutier, on fera typiquement 200 km sur la première étape, puis environ 150 km sur les suivantes.

  • Charge au départ : 38 kWh
  • Charge à l'arrivée : 12kWh
  • Total chargé en route : 54kWh
  • Puissance moyenne de charge : 41kWh (sur un maximum de 49kWh : on dit merci à la température extérieure favorable)
  • Consommé 67 kWh, moyenne sur le parcours 14,5 kWh/100km.
  • Consommation à 130 km/h : 15 à 16 kWh/100 km.
  • Consommation à 110 km/h : environ 13 à 14 kWh/100 km.
    • Coût de la recharge sur autoroute : entre 0,68 et 0,69€/kWh, 37€
    • Coût comparatif avec ma Volvo diesel (6l/100 km à 120) : 51€ de gazole environ. Même au tarif exorbitant du kWh sur autoroute (3 à 4 fois plus cher qu'à la maison), ça reste rentable.


In a sane world, the government would be trumpeting this triumph of medical science—a great victory for public health.

But we live in Trump world now, so we won't be able to get the Moderna Covid+flu vaccine this year. People will get sick needlessly, and people will die.
