“In Sheikh Jarrah, Palestinian youth are leading the struggle to defend their homes

Sheikh Jarrah's youth are holding nightly vigils to raise awareness and protect their neighborhood from evictions and gradual takeover by Israeli settlers.”


“That is why for the last decade children have been a systematic target of intimidation and harassment. Seems it has backfired.


“Over the past several weeks, Palestinians have been protesting the displacement of families from the neighborhood following an Israeli court order. The eight families facing imminent displacement, like all the families in the Karm al-Jaouni complex, are Palestinian refugees who were forced out of their homes in the 1948 war and their descendants. In the 1950s, the Jordanian authorities and UNRWA housed them in that area, which was an open space with no buildings at the time. Following Israel’s occupation of Jerusalem in 1967, settler organizations have been trying to take over the properties, claiming they were originally owned by Jews.””

Netanyahu is a stain on humanity along with the American Politicians that work with AIPAC:


“Robbing their homes is not enough. Harassing their children and locking them up also not enough. Burning their lands and their crops should hit the spot.

“Walid Saeed, 70, a local farmer in Burin, was sitting on his balcony with his family when he saw a large group of Israeli settlers descending from the hilltops surrounding Burin.

“There were around 50 settlers that came down from Har Bracha,” Saeed told Mondoweiss, referring to one of three settlements and settler outposts located in the area around Burin.

“They came down the mountain and started setting a bunch of fires to the land and trees in the area,” he said.””

Palestinians from the village of Burin were forced to watch as the night sky lit up their village with orange flames and clouds of smoke. By the time the settlers and soldiers retreated, the damage had already been done.”

“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive if of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones were being brainwashed to believe.” Arundhati Roy
