A US Citizen Goes Home to the West Bank, Finds a Siege Waiting
Turns out, having a blue passport doesn't exactly make the neighborhood quiet when local tensions boil over.
A Palestinian American decided to head back to his family property in the West Bank, only to find the place under an active siege by Israeli settlers. Instead of a peaceful homecoming, he spent his Monday joining his relatives in a desperate standoff to keep their own house from being taken over.
It is one thing to watch the news from a safe distance in the States, but it is another thing entirely to be physically blocked from your own living room. The family is essentially holding the line against people who have decided that their property is now up for grabs.
The sheer absurdity of a dual citizen needing to defend their front porch like it is a tactical military objective is a hell of a way to spend a weekday.
