1·2 days agoIndian Author Arundhati Roy Pulls Out of Berlinale Over Jury’s ‘Unconscionable’ Refusal to Comment on Gaza: ‘To Hear Them Say That Art Should Not Be Political Is Jaw-Dropping’ (Variety, 2026-02-13)

UN defends expert on Palestinian rights after European criticism | Reuters (2026-02-13)
>> A U.N. human rights spokesperson expressed concern … after several European governments criticised the organisation’s special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, and called for her resignation.
>> “… We are concerned that U.N. officials, independent experts and judicial officials, are increasingly subjected to personal attacks, threats and misinformation that distracts from the serious human rights issues,” U.N. human rights office spokesperson Marta Hurtado told a press briefing when asked about the criticism.
>> Albanese said in overnight remarks on X: “Three European governments accuse me - based on statements I never made - with a virulence and conviction that they have NEVER used against those who have slaughtered 20,000+ children in 858 days.”

After the Bondi massacre, we don’t have the luxury to grieve silently: Before the blood had dried, the deadliest attack on Australian Jews was being used to justify repressing Palestine solidarity and retribution against Muslims. (Em Hilton | +972 Magazine, 2025-12-15)

No Music For Genocide
https://nomusicforgenocide.org/#top-page
>> >>
JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Reject apartheid, occupation, and genocide of Palestinians and remove your music from Israel.#NoMusicForGenocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 1000 artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory in response to Israel’s genocide in #Gaza; occupation and ethnic cleansing of the #WestBank; apartheid within Israel / '48; political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live; and the music industry’s own ties to weapons and crimes against humanity.
This tangible act is just one step toward honoring Palestinian demands to isolate and delegitimize Israel as it kills without consequence on the world stage. The successful cultural boycotts against apartheid South Africa prove that our creative work grants us agency and power…

Israeli Military Has Killed 266 Palestinians in Gaza Since ‘Ceasefire’ Went Into Effect: Health Ministry - Antiwar.com (2025-11-16)
>> The Israeli military has killed 266 Palestinians and wounded 635 since the US-backed “ceasefire” deal went into effect on October 10, Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.
>> Israel has also violated the ceasefire by not fulfilling the stipulation in the deal for it to allow an “unrestricted” flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, as it just recently allowed aid deliveries to enter a border crossing into northern Gaza. Israel was also supposed to open the Rafah border crossing connecting #Gaza and Egypt, but it remains closed…

At the Berlinale, Art Is Political. Except on Palestine. (Hanno Hauenstein, 2026-02-15)
https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/the-most-political-film-festival
———
>> … #WimWenders was asked by journalist #TiloJung about Gaza genocide and Germany’s selective solidarities when it comes to Palestine. … Wenders insisted: “We have to stay out of politics.” … Film, he suggested, is “the opposite of politics.” The rest of the jury agreed or said nothing.
>> International coverage … followed. The two Arab-language films Sad Song of Touha and The Dislocation of Amber were both publicly withdrawn.
>> It would be unfair to say that the #Berlinale never screened films on #Palestine … But when confronted with a direct question about #Gaza, Wenders’ reply felt like … a textbook example of the German cultural sphere’s deference to an official narrative that — while no longer able to downplay the sheer scale of Israel’s eradication of Gaza — now prefers to avoid the subject altogether…
