Here in Jerusalem, we Palestinians are still fighting for our homes
“I am tired of reporting the same brutality every day, of thinking of new ways to describe the obvious. The situation in Sheikh Jarrah is not hard to understand: it is a perfect illustration of settler colonialism, a microcosm of the reality for Palestinians across 73 years of Zionist rule. This vocabulary is not theoretical. It is evident in the attempts to throw us out of our homes so that settlers can occupy them – with the backing of the regime, whose forces and policies provide violent support for the transfer of one population to install another.”
- Mohammed El-Kurd, Palestinian activist and journalist
Here are some articles detailing how the Israeli government dispossess Palestinians of their land and homes through it’s judiciary system and biased property laws.
The draconian law used by Israel to steal Palestinian land
Silwan: 170 members of a Palestinian family face eviction in three neighbourhoods
Israel uses judicial system to ‘de-Palestinize’ East Jerusalem
Palestinian community in West Bank demolished for seventh time
I know I’m late, but in August 2 will be the the dispossesion hearing of 4 families in Sheikh Jarrah, including AL Kurd family who where the ones who brought the issue the attention it needs few months ago.
Yes, we can still do something. We can show our support to those families and make online noise and pressure to show Isreal government that we are watching and we won’t watch silently the ethnic cleansing happening in Palestine .
For more info, @sheikhjarrahunitsoffical is an Instagram account that keeps updating on Sheikh Jarrah
“They Came Here to Attack Arabs.”
During the Israeli attacks on Gaza, the past May, Israeli settlers marked palestinians’ houses with red paints in Al-lydd city in Jerusalem, so they could be raided on by armed Israeli thugs.
Meanwhile, the “Garin torani” or the “torah seeds” group aims to create a jewish majority in Arab-majority neighbrhoods by forcefully displacing the indogenous palestinians from these neighborhoods and welcoming settlers from all around the world.

Educate yourself on what’s happening right now. Having well formed opinions on relevant topics matters more than you may think.
Israel is not a country, there are no “struggles on both sides”. This is not anti-semitism, an actual genocide is currently taking place and defending Palestine and it’s people should not a controversial topic.

I wish I could put the anger and sadness I feel into words. But, I’m not capable of doing so. And no matter how much I or anyone else writes about this, words cannot fathom the pain that Palestinians and all of us are going through because of this. We should start to voice our thoughts and somehow make a change. We have to fight for Palestinians and all of the Muslims around the world.
Please, take some time to read and learn about what is going on in Palestine.
