Ben Affleck's mother Chris Affleck passed today. I was unaware of her longstanding activism for Palestine. Now his disgust and revulsion at genocidal Zionist Bill Maher and Sam Harris's deranged racist Islamophobic rants makes perfect sense. RIP, you raised a good son.

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center.
Two other Palestinians, including a child, were killed alongside him and others wounded, per Arabi Post, bringing the day’s death toll from Israeli attacks across Gaza to six, amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
The Egyptian Committee, established by President Sisi, is Cairo’s official relief arm in Gaza, distributing food, housing displaced families in camps it built at Netzarim, and clearing rubble.
Israel has killed its personnel before: in January, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle carrying committee workers filming a new displacement camp near Netzarim, killing five people including three journalists working for the committee. Israeli media reported Cairo sent an angry protest demanding explanations for that attack.
The targeted strike and killing of an official of Egypt’s own relief operation comes as Cairo hosts negotiations on the ceasefire’s second phase, with a Hamas delegation in its sixth day of talks there. Reports suggest the strike took place just before the Egypt-Argentina soccer World Cup match.

MAN ON FIRE (2004)
Tony Scott utilized an old hand-cranked film camera built in 1910 to make movie magic. No CGI needed.
DP Paul Cameron built a "merry-go-round" rig that spun Denzel Washington and the camera 360 degrees to create a hyper-kinetic visual effect.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
