WELL THIS DESTROYED ME. A must-see documentary if it comes to a city near you.
WE NEED TO GET SONIA TO ASIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS.
I just got tickets to see "The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony" this weekend and I'm very excited, I was so bummed to miss it at Tribeca Film Festival! I can't wait to report back.

⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram.
The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash.
The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.
