"Despite the exciting success of the film [No Other Land] in festivals and among journalists and audiences around the world, however, the situation here on the ground is deteriorating rapidly and the future looks bleak. Over the past 16 months, Israeli settlers and the military have taken advantage of the atmosphere of the war to reshape reality ..., intensifying their efforts to displace us from our land. Even as I write this, the Israeli army is conducting a major demolition operation in the community of Khalet A-Daba, razing homes, toilets, solar panels, and trees.

"... I wanted to highlight some of the most notable incidents from the last few weeks to show that while we are gaining international recognition, our material reality remains a daily struggle against erasure..."
