#391 – Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

This is so-and-so, as if God is some kind of real estate agent. So they took over half of our home, and we continued to be in courts for the following decade. I was still a child, and I had broken English, and I was talking to all of these diplomats and all of these journalists, who would subject me to their racism and biases and so on and so forth.

And I had to prove my humanity time and time again. And I had to do all of this, all with broken English. And we were lucky even if we got a quote in the article written about us by The Times or so on and so forth. Move forward to 2020, I was in New York City studying a master's degree, getting a master's degree, and my father calls me.

And he tells me, you know, we have yet another expulsion order. And we decided to launch a campaign. It was quite ambitious at the time. But the whole objective of the campaign was to demystify what is happening, right? Because it's reported on in the news, it's reported on around the world as this real estate dispute, as these evictions, which was not really what's happening.

Evictions do not entail a foreign army in an occupied territory, forcibly removing you out of your home. So I came home from New York and we launched a campaign which turned into a global success. And I believe it was a global success because finally the images on the screen matched the rhetoric that was being said. It wasn't so confusing or complicated anymore.

All of this asymmetry was pronounced and articulated in a way that any viewer, be it in Alabama, be it in New York, be it in Egypt, was able to understand the asymmetry of the judicial system and the agenda of colonialism that was taking place here. And due to immense international and diplomatic pressure, from all over the world, even the United States.

#391 – Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

The Israeli Supreme Court was forced to cancel all of the eviction orders in Sheikh Jarrah until further notice. This, I consider, was a small victory because obviously we are still at risk of losing our homes once they decide to do the land registry, which we can get into a little bit later if you'd like. But nonetheless, it was something that we haven't seen before.

And the fact that the Supreme Court canceled all of these dozens and dozens of past eviction orders, it set a precedent. And it also proved that this was a political battle, not a legal one.
