Too quiet

Tonight is quiet in the neighborhood of 28 houses' in Sheikh Jarrah - the 28 houses that the Zionists need to connect the major illegal settlements of East Jerusalem, thereby annexing the old city from the West Bank. Just one of the settlers came out to ask us if we love Jews and then he went inside the house again that they occupy from the Al-Kurd family. It is not always like this. We run through the journal of the last two months nightshifts in the tent outside the house of Al-Kurd's:

21 October
The occupants threw water at us 8 times, spat us in the face and threw stones in our direction. Most was documented by our video camera.

22 October
Verbal insults.

Moonlight in Sheikh Jarrah

A dog is barking and the moon is full. The Palestinian family is hopefully asleep but the settlers who occupy parts of their house still show signs of being awake. It's getting cold in the tent so we're glad that we have a fire to warm our frozen hands over.

This is the video of the night and it's made right here in this house:


In a better world, the settlers would say things like "sorry for occupying your house, we will move out already tonight", or "Palestinians also have human rights", or "what about taking away this ugly separation wall". But instead, they're spitting us in the face, throwing water at us and calling us by ugly names.

tisbaH ala-kheir.
