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".

You should consider how using the wrong words for things might be playing into the hands of Zionists. Maybe you are.

    You are wrong both semantically and in emphasis. I have had to say this 3 times already. I pointed out that it's wrong to put so much emphasis on the former, it is distracting from the injustice, and your response was to be contrarian while ignoring what I've argued.

    Do some self-criticism.
