Oscar Win brings hope to the Palestinians in Masafer Yatta | Occupied news of the West Coast

Just last week, the Israeli troops overthrew the shedding of the Palestinian family in Masafer Yatta, a distant, hilly corner on the southern edge of the western coast occupied by Israeli.

It was the latest instance of destruction that was aimed at a hamlet of the hamlet whose population threatened to expel.

Over the weekend, the residents of Masafer Yatta cheered the Oscar of the documentary’s victory, There is no other countrywhich shows life in a relaxed community and hoped it would bring them help.

No other country is followed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra, as he risks an arrest to document the destruction of Masafer Yatta West Bank, who was joined by his co-director, Israeli journalist and filmmaker Yuval Abraham.

Common Palestinian-Israeli production won a number of international awards, starting with the Berlin International Film Festival 2024. For five years in the emergence, she received a larger resonance in the midst of the Israel genocide in Gaza, as well as the increasing raid on the western coast that caused the transfer of thousands of thousands of Palestinians.

In Al-Tuwanehu, one of the hamlets that make up Masafer Yatta, Salem Adra said his family remained at the Oscar ceremony all night. They watched his older brother, Basel, a film co-maker, came on stage to accept the award for Best documentary.

“It was such a great surprise, such joy,” he said.

Salem said he hoped an Oscar victory “will open the eyes of the world to what is happening here in Masafer Yatti.”

“It’s a victory for the whole of Palestine and for all living in Masafer Yatti,” he said.

Ever since the movie was first released, he said, threats and pressure against his family have increased. Their car stoned the immigrants. After winning the movie awarding a prize at the Berlin International Film Festival a year ago, the army returned to the family and once detained her father, searching his phone and asking, “Why are you shooting?”

The Israeli army was defined by the Masafer Yatta Zone for the Training of the Living Fire in the 1980s and ordered that the inhabitants, mostly Arabic Bedouin, were expelled. Israel said Bedouin has no lasting structure in the area. But families say that they lived and threw their sheep and goats all over the area long before Israel caught the west coast in the 1967 war.

After a 20-year legal battle by the inhabitants, the Supreme Court of Israel supported the order on the expulsion of 2022. However, about 1,000 inhabitants are mostly left in place, as Israeli troops regularly break homes, tents, water tanks and olives.

Palestinians are afraid to explicitly come to an explication at any time.

In his speech about accepting on Sunday night, Basel called the world “to stop injustice and stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.”

He said that he hoped that his newborn daughter “he would not have to live the same life in which I live now … always feeling the violence of the settlers, the demolition of the house and the strong displacement.”
