House Arrest: A Palestinian Prison

"When discussing the conflict, many people try to differentiate between the different “types” of settlers – those who are just “regular people” trying to go about their lives and maybe living in settlements for cheap housing, and the “other”, ideological, violent settlers. Regardless, all settlements are illegal under international law. When I see the Ghrayeb family being suffocated by this aggressive colony, trying to force them to leave each day, there is no longer any differentiation to be made between the different “types”. Anyone who is complicit in this situation and is okay with looking out their window and seeing this family living in a cage is not innocent, no matter what their motivation is for residing there."
