Sheikh Jarrah, Occupied East Jerusalem,<\/div>\n

A video recently went viral on social media in which an Israeli settler could be seen trying to forcefully occupy a Palestinian woman’s house, International media reported.<\/div>\n
\n

The incident took place in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood in the occupied East Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

In the video, the man\u00a0 whose name was apparently Jakob could be seen arguing with Mona al-Kurd, a young Palestinian woman when she protested against him trying to forcefully take over her house. The altercation took place in the garden of al-Kurd’s house.<\/p>\n

“Jakob, you know this is not your house,” al-Kurd could be heard telling the Israeli settler.<\/p>\n

In response, the man told her off by saying that she should not yell at him.<\/p>\n

“Yes, but if I go, you don’t go back. So what\u2019s the problem? Why are you yelling at me?\u201d I didn’t do this,” says the man, in a thick US accent.<\/p>\n

When the woman protested against his actions, saying that he is trying to “steal her house,” the man said: “If I don\u2019t steal your house, someone else will steal it.”<\/p>\n

Visibly angered by the man’s audacity, al-Kurd yelled at him, saying: “No one is allowed to steal it.”<\/p>\n

The man then says in Hebrew: “This is not mine in order to return it.”<\/p>\n

According to Al-Jazeera, some 3,000 Palestinians live in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. Many of them are descendants of people who were forced out during the ethnic cleansing of 1948.<\/p>\n

Isreal has ordered Palestinian families, who have been living in Sheikh Jarrah for many generations, to evacuate their houses. A total of 58 Palestinians, 17 of whom are minors, are under threat of displacement so that the state could make way for Jewish settlements, the outlet said.<\/p>\n

To protest the move, Palestinian activists have started the trend “#SaveSheikhJarrah on social media in a bid to pressurize Israeli authorities to stop the neighborhood’s ongoing “nakba” (displacement).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sheikh Jarrah is blocked from all sides, I needed my ID to confirm that my address is here before I was let in, meanwhile dozens of settlers, many of them armed, have been walking in. The IOF and undercover cops just invaded Qawasmi\u2019s home next door. #SaveSheikhJarrah<\/a><\/p>\n
