A Palestinian woman pleads with an Israeli settler in her garden in an incident captured on video. “You know this is not your house,” she tells the man, who goes by Yakub. The man replies, “If I don’t steal it, someone else is going to steal it. So why are you yelling at me?"
The woman's home is in the disputed east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where Palestinian families have been ordered to vacate by an Israeli court to make way for settlers
, an incident that became a flashpoint in the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The al-Kurd family featured in the video has pleaded for international help to stop their displacement, in interviews with Reuters and other news agencies.
