Ceasefire – What Ceasefire?: On the Ground in Occupied East Jerusalem
Sep 22, 2021

Mark Seddon is joined by Amany Khalifa and Budour Hassan assessing the situation on the ground in occupied East Jerusalem and further afield amidst reports of continued forced evictions, violence towards and mass arrests of Palestinians by Israeli forces.
Amany Khalifa is Local Mobilization Coordinator for Grassroots Al-Quds.
The title says it all—'ceasefire, what ceasefire'—because the forced evictions, mass arrests and settler violence in East Jerusalem never actually paused, and Amany Khalifa and Budour Hassan laying out that ground reality is exactly the reporting mainstream outlets skip. Ngl needed something mindless after this, been messing with Pal Breed for Palworld breeds lol.
This was an informative and eye-opening article, and it's important to hear perspectives from people directly affected by the situation. On a lighter note, when I need a break from heavy news, I sometimes play Rocket Goal for a few minutes since it's fun, relaxing, and easy to enjoy.
