A sequel to the infamous Jacob, who famously said "if I don't steal it, someone else gonna steal it!"
He has been living under her house/additonal part of her house for over 10 years after being recuited by a US-based company called Nahalat Shimon International which "owns" the property under israeli law.
The israeli (American) settler took over a palestinian familys home in occupied East Jerusalem's Jarrah neighborhood. The Jarrah neighborhood is home to some 3000 Palestinians, many of whom are desecendents of people who were forced out of what is now Israel during the ethnic cleansing of 1948.
Israel has been ordering the eviction of Palestinian familes who hv been living in Jarrah for generations. Many familes with children are under threat of being forcibly displaced to make way for Jewish settlements. Israeli soldiers will raid houses in the middle of the night inorder to clear them out, physcically attacking residents and protestors. Many palestinians described this as the "ongoing Nakba" and have been fighting for decades to keep their homes.
Settler orgs, funded by US donors(billionare backed, working in collusion with the Israeli gov) file lawsuits claiming that the land belonged to Jewish people in the past.
This is atleast more than a **decade** old. And ironically Jacob here is the niciest one. Many of these settlers commit intense violence and get away with it while those who are the victems tend to face arrest, administrative detention, or physical removal by security forces. Violent acts committed by settlers is often proceeded with limited institutional intervention.
