A new documentary, "The Encampments," takes viewers inside the protests across college campuses and public spaces. It features interviews with Mahmoud Khalil, now in a Louisiana detention center after being taken into custody by ICE, award-winning journalist Bisan Owda, and Grant Miner, who was expelled from Columbia University because of his participation in the occupation of a campus building. In its first limited-release weekend, it became the most-seen documentary in theaters. @TeenVogue spoke to co-director Kei Pritsker and student organizer Sueda Polat about why they made the film.

Teen Vogue · The Encampments Goes From Columbia Protests to Gaza, Including Interviews With Mahmoud Khalil, Bisan Owda, and StudentsBy Lex McMenamin
Continued thread

On the 24th reports emerged of multiple instances of deliberate IOF targeting of civilians around Rafah in the Southern Gaza Strip. Palestinians documented 20 victims of these apparent Israeli breaches of the ceasefire deal.

Reports of civilian deaths at the hands of IOF in Rafah have continued to come out with the most recent I've seen just 4 hours ago.

Here's my depiction of one of the many incredible, brave journalists in Palestine - Bisan Owda.
Shame on you David Lammy for saying "There's no journalists in Palestine." This is just another example of the dehumanisation and erasure of the indigenous people by powerful, colonial western leaders. Please follow and share Palestinian voices.

These and others will be at a Makers Market in Cambridge next month. I'm working on another #BisanOwda and planning a #MarthaPJohnson - hopefully they'll be ready in time for the market.
Suggestions for other amazing women/ Non-binary characters welcomed.

I don't want to waste my money on anti-Palestinian zionists, and I kept wondering what idiot in their right mind would ruin their reputations by signing a letter to stop #BisanOwda (#ItsBisanFromGaza) from getting an #Emmy.

Well, there are these silly buggers who call themselves #CreativeCommunityForPeace (Orwell: 'Oh really? 🤨 ') and there are about 150 names on this thing, including actors, etc. I never heard of in the first place: #DebraMessing, #AmandaMarkowitz, #RebeccaDeMornay, #KatieWalder, #TalTavin , #DavidDraiman (from appropriately named Disturbed), along with a pack of execs and entertainment industry behind-the-camera people and so on.

They've even got a website if you want to see who else is a delusional pillock
