All of this is manufactured. And again, none of this is a conspiracy theory. I know it sounds absurd. And, you know, anytime I like look at my life from a bird's eye view, I think what a circus. But it's real and it's... It's verifiable, call the fact checkers.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So our small victory in the Israeli courts was that they would keep us in our homes until a land registry is completed. Basically, it means that they have to check who owned the land prior. And then they could decide if the land is ours or the land belongs to the Israeli settler organizations that are headquartered in the United States and enjoy a tax exempt status here.

And that sounds great on the surface, but then you look at Israeli law, you look at Israeli courts, you look at ownership and you see that, oh, Israelis refuse to authenticate or take into consideration any land ownership documents from the prior of the establishment of the state. So all of us in Jerusalem who have their taboo papers, their ownership papers from the Ottoman era,

That's not legit in the eyes of the Israeli court because that existed before, like your ownership deeds existed long before Israel even existed. So we're not going to take this into consideration.

So not to be cynical here, but unfortunately, the likely result of the land registry is that they're going to say, oh, all of this land belongs to these Jewish organizations because they're not going to take any of our documents into consideration. But that means that there's going to be another campaign and there's going to be a long-winded fight. And we'll see what happens. But that's the fear.

I always make a joke that being in an Israeli court is like playing a game of broken telephone, because everybody's speaking in Hebrew, and then your lawyer says something to your dad, and your dad says something to your mom, and your mom whispers it in your ear, and then you say it to your cousin, and your cousin has a completely different idea of the verdict than what the verdict is, but that's really the reality.
