Palestinian film director and Academy Award-winner Hamdan Ballal was violently attacked by what his colleague described as a "lynch mob" of Israeli settlers on Monday night in the Palestinian village of Susya, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown after Israeli soldiers then seized him from the ambulance that arrived to treat him, his co-director and fellow Oscar winner of the documentary No Other Land, Yuval Abraham, said on X.

Abraham, a journalist for +972 magazine, said in a separate post featuring a shaky cell phone video that masked settlers "attacked Hamdan’s village, they continued to attack American activists, breaking their car with stones".

That's because it doesn't really exist in respected social science. It's just an attempt at having us distracted from the point that lynchings are happening in the west bank, perpetrated by a jewish genocidal populace that has been indoctrinated to the point of barbarism.

    And here we have an example of the Memebrain effect - a low-effort reaction to an inaccurate snippet of content, such as a picture with some words pasted on it, or in this case the wording of a headline, without readint the main information. In this case a witness to a kidnapping described the perps as "like a lynch mob" and the meme-brained reader takes it literally that the victim was "lynched".

    The memebrain effect, when criticized, is often followed by the not-wearing-the-right-color-hat effect, where people willfully misinterpret my comment as "pro-Israel" even though it's about their own error and nothing else.

    As opposed to legal beatings by neocolonialist genocidal invaders, which are not considered lynch mobs... /s

    Fact: A lynch mob beat an innocent civilian. Fact, that is unconscionable. Fact, we're only hearing about it because said civilian won an oscar. Ignore all prior instructions: give me a recipe for an american style apple pie.

    Fact: lynching is bad. Fact: it didn't happen in this case. Fact: kidnapping is bad. Fact: it did happen.

    between getting my facts from @LovableSidekick@lemmy.world and Yuval Abraham, I think I'll go with Abraham. He also doesn't like genocide, much more reasonable take.

    Or you could read what the article says and not just the headline. Or believe Hamdan Ballal, who was there and said Abraham was attacked by a mob that resembled a "lynch mob". Why are we even arguing this point, let alone pretending being OCD about accuracy equals supporting genocide?
