Mona MiariGUEST
It's, it's very deep into ethnic cleansing, where you are not allowed to speak your language in your homeland.
Mona MiariGUEST
Uh, and of course, that cha- that started changing throughout the years, uh, but more effectively, um, ever since 2021, after Sheikh, Sheikh Jarrah, uh, uprise and, uh, especially after October 7th, where, um, any Palestinians, uh, who live within, uh, the 48 are subject to, uh, being attacked for speaking Arabic, uh, in the streets.
Mona MiariGUEST
Um, so that obviously shaped who I am as a, as a kid, as a teenager, as a, as a woman, as an artist in the first place.
Mona MiariGUEST
Um, and I don't think it will ever stop, because I keep saying that, um, you know, there's a saying that history is repeating itself.
Yoseph HaddadGUEST
You mentioned Al-Kurd.
Yoseph HaddadGUEST
Where do you think the Al-Kurds are from, Sami? Do you think they're indigenous to Palestine? They're indigenous to Israel? Al-Kurds? The property in question, Sheikh Jarrah, was built in Shimon HaTzadik, an ancient Jewish community, where one of our great sages is buried.
Yoseph HaddadGUEST
It's where it gets the name Shimon HaTzadik.
Yoseph HaddadGUEST
There was a decades-long legal case between the Kurds who had the house built for them by the Jordanian occupiers in the 1950s and UNRWA.
Qasim RashidHOST
I mean, every, every s- problem that they see, manufactured, and then they, their solution is, "Let's point a gun at you and, and force you to comply." It's just mortifying.
Qasim RashidHOST
We ha- we were in Sheikh Jarrah, which if you recall some years ago, there was an attempt by the colonizers to take over Sheikh Jarrah by, and they, they did it by fabricating deeds and titles that, that they said were from the Ottoman Empire, uh, completely fabricated.
Qasim RashidHOST
And while we were there talking to the residents of Sheikh Jarrah, a colonizer drove by and ran into us, uh, to intimidate us.
Qasim RashidHOST
And, uh, I don't wanna overdramatize it.
Qasim RashidHOST
It wasn't like he was going 100 miles an hour.
Peter OborneGUEST
And just as they, I mean, just as they demolish houses left, right and center.
Peter OborneGUEST
I mean, actually, a- as this was going on, about 10 minutes drive, less than 10 minutes drive in Al-Tur, um, where, where the British Consulate is in Sheikh Jarrah.
Peter OborneGUEST
Um, [laughs] Itamar Ben-Gvir, the, um, the National Security Minister, as a pre, as an election stunt, was bulldozing a, a set of Palestinian, well, uh, uh, flats, a great big apartment block, sending, getting them out of, um, their house at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
Peter OborneGUEST
They're all homeless now.
Alex TraimanHOST
So Israel had provided information and then right after Miliband issues the statements against and the sanctions against the Israelis, Israel responds, and part of what they responded was to say that they were going to shutter this consulate.
Alex TraimanHOST
And this is a building that is in eastern sections of Jerusalem, like an Arab community of Sheikh Jarrah.
Alex TraimanHOST
It served as an... unofficial embassy to the Palestinian Authority, but it's not in Ramallah where the seat of the Palestinian Authority is in Area A and areas that are controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Alex TraimanHOST
It's in sovereign Jerusalem where Israel is the sovereign.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Their property was still being counted as Jewish-owned in a United Nations land report in nineteen sixty-six.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Sheikh Jarrah's property history began long before the court cases that eventually made the neighborhood internationally famous.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
In eighteen seventy-six, Jewish communal trusts purchased land near the traditional tomb of Shimon Hatzadik, Simon the Just.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Jewish families later settled around the tomb and in neighboring Nahalat Shimon, forming communities outside the old city walls decades before the British Mandate.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Jordan later produced documents supporting the local Arab residents' claims, while Israeli courts concluded that title had never legally passed to them.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
The courts also recognized tenancy rights created during Jordanian rule.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
The Sheikh Jarrah dispute therefore did not begin with Israelis arriving in an Arab neighborhood in the two thousands.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Jewish ownership predated the British Mandate.
Noa LeviHOST
Minister Sarr stated that actions against Israel will not go unanswered.
Noa LeviHOST
The retaliatory steps include the closure of the nearly 200-year-old British consulate in Sheikh Jarrah, which serves East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Noa LeviHOST
Israel will also remove British representatives from the International Aid Centre for Gaza in Kiryat Gat, and end British activities to train Palestinian Authority forces.
Noa LeviHOST
Furthermore, entry bans have been announced for 12 British elected officials and other citizens involved in anti-Israel activities.
Daniella RabbaniGUEST
Um, it started for me in 2021 because I started speaking out.
Daniella RabbaniGUEST
There was, you know, the Sheikh Jarrah mayhem, and I started realizing, "Oh my gosh, my dear friends, some of my best friends, um, are spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric online," and it was, it was scary, really.
Daniella RabbaniGUEST
And I tried my best to combat that on my platforms.
Daniella RabbaniGUEST
Um, I have become more choosy of the people that I collaborate with, and they with me, you know? But that does mean that there's a trust built in.
Rasha AbdulhadiGUEST
If we mean the end of the settler colonial project, which is an apartheid occupation, a totalizing military eliminationist project within Palestine and of Palestinians and Palestinian life and history and memory, then we should say that.
Rasha AbdulhadiGUEST
And so I'm glad to maybe get into this, 'cause I actually wrote about some of this in 2021 when I saw a lot of folks cr- creating, uh, either creating or struggling to create, quote, "solidarity statements with Palestine" as Gaza was being carpet bombed for 11 days, as, uh, families in Sheikh Jarrah, including Mohammad El-Khury and Mona El-Khury and their family, were resisting, uh, the violent dispossession of them and their families.
Rasha AbdulhadiGUEST
Uh, and there were, you know, uprisings and protests in every facet of Palestinian society, not just in geographical Palestine, but around the world.
Rasha AbdulhadiGUEST
So people were putting together solidarity statements in response to that, and, you know, that's a beautiful thing, and I found myself really noticing a lot about the kind of received language that I've mentioned, the, you know, what people thought it would look like to offer solidarity, care-
Sami Abu ShehadehGUEST
No wonder someone like Yair Golan don't, yeah, does not like Balad.
Sami Abu ShehadehGUEST
Now, after they did the mistake, and they now they are paying a very high price for their stupidity, a lot of the people from the Democrats who knows me, you know? Part of them were my political allies, and we organized, uh, political activity together at Tel Aviv University, in Sheikh Jarrah against the occupation.
Sami Abu ShehadehGUEST
People know me.
Sami Abu ShehadehGUEST
Now they are calling to apologize, but they are calling to apologize after they decided to hang me.
