a Jewish settler named Jacob Fauci was captured on camera telling a young Palestinian woman named Muna El-Kurd, who was standing in her own backyard, “If I don’t steal your home, someone else will steal it.”
Muna El-Kurd
settler colonization and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Jerusalem
felt I was living every second of their nightmare with them.
There was no safe place to hide, no way for a mother to protect her terrified children as the bombs rained down around them.

In September 2021, news broke that six Palestinian political prisoners had escaped from Israel’s high-security Gilboa Prison.
