(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) DISPLACED PALESTINIAN WOMAN RUQAYYA HASSAN, SAYING: “The situation is very bad. The settlers have made themselves more at home in our house than we ever could. They have taken over our land and ruined it, and we are not even able to plant a single tomato seedling there. It is a very painful and difficult feeling to see all your hard work, everything you have done on your land and in your home, being destroyed and going to people who do not deserve it at all. God willing, I hope that we, and everyone else who has been forced out of their homes, will be able to return.” 25. WHITE FLASH 26.

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) DISPLACED PALESTINIAN WOMAN RUQAYYA HASSAN, SAYING: “God willing, I will return. I believe this is entirely a policy of displacement, but they are using the settlers indirectly. The settlers put pressure on the residents so that they are forced to leave their homes, and then they take them over.” NABLUS, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - AUG. 14: A Palestinian woman in the occupied West Bank says she has been unable to return home after leaving with her children to seek treatment for her two-year-old daughter amid a siege imposed by Israeli settlers.
