Return to Lifta Is Not A Wish; It’s A Promise, Israel! (2021)

Israel, Don’t Raise the Roof Beams High as you “Resettle” Lifta; its Owners will Return (2021)
“... Israel is a country built on racism, dispossession, and genocide. The recent rise in attacks by Israeli settlers, vigilante groups, and lynch mobs targeting Palestinians are a continuation of that history and must be addressed.”
