I get the importance of covering these incidents. I get the importance of films like NAZA. But it is galling, deeply galling, that the carnage inflicted on Palestinians for eighty years is consistently narrated (if at all) as if props or background to Jewish reckonings, Jewish moral dilemmas, Jewish political diversity, and so on.
Heidi Levine is an American-born Jewish colonizer based in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where she and her entire family live as settlers on colonized land. She got a tiny dose of what Palestinians suffer daily, and it's major news. And clearly it's not because she's a journalist, because we see the dearth of reporting on Palestinian journalists who've been decimated.
Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine recounts how Israeli colonists assaulted and robbed her while she was reporting on olive harvest in the occupied West Bank. The attack, which involved kicking and blows from clubs, left her with multiple broken bones.
