Israeli Army Raids Home of Oscar-Winning Filmmaker Basel Adra
-------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army raided the home of the
Palestinian activist and filmmaker Basel Adra, who won an Oscar for the
documentary "No Other Land." Adra said, "The police, the army came when
the settlers were attacking us. They did not stop them. One of the
settlers chased one of the solidarity activists, and he beat her on the
ground. The soldiers were watching, didn't do anything." The film "No
Other Land" documented efforts by settlers to forcibly displace Adra's
community in the area known as Masafer Yatta.
