Palestinian MSNBC Guest: ‘What’s Happening to Us Is Ethnic Cleansing’

EXCERPT:

EL-KURD: "Well, I’ll say to them what the United Nations, what over 190 human rights organizations, international and regional, have said. This is a war crime. This is ethnic cleansing. You know, they can do all their propaganda and say that this is a private land dispute, but looking — it doesn’t take much, looking at the history of this country and seeing how this country came about, it came about by stealing people’s homes and stealing people's lands and destroying people’s villages. Today the difference we have is that they no longer use their artillery to steal our homes, except when they do come and steal our homes. Now they use a supremacist judicial system, a colonial judicial system that colludes with these settler organizations that are actually registered in the United States to take over our homes. Just because something is legalized does not mean it’s moral, does not mean it's correct, does not mean it's historically just. What’s happening to us in Sheikh Jarrah is ethnic cleansing."
