The Israeli occupation authorities released the Palestinian activist, Mona Al-Kurd, after holding her for hours. The activist’s name – from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem – topped the trend list in many countries around the world.
The eighth bulletin of your publication (06/6/2021) monitored the interaction on social media platforms with Mona El-Kurd and her brother Muhammad, through the hashtags “Freedom for Mona El-Kurd” and “Save Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood”, before the Israeli occupation forces released her and kept her brother in detention. .
The tweeters considered that the arrest of the two Kurdish brothers was a new attempt to silence the voice of the residents of the neighborhood in the face of attempts by settlers to seize it, with the protection of the occupation authorities. It is noteworthy that the Kurdish family is among the families of Sheikh Jarrah, against whom rulings were issued to deport and displace their members from their homes for the benefit of settlers.

The Palestinian ambassador in London, Husam Zomlot, asked about the way the occupation thinks, and that this arrest will not silence the Palestinian people. He wrote, “What do they think? The Israeli occupation police’s arrest of journalists and social media activists will not be able to silence the Palestinian people.”
The Palestinian singer, Muhammad Assaf, expressed his pride in the two Kurdish brothers, saying, “Mona al-Kurd and Muhammad al-Kurd are the sons of Jerusalem. We do not fear for them, the resistant youth raise their heads.”
While Amani Khalifa considered that the steps of the Israeli occupation are a sign of their stupidity, she tweeted, “The arrest of Mona Al-Kurd from Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, summoning Zuhair Al-Rajbi from Silwan and Muhammad Al-Kurd from Sheikh Jarrah, these steps are an indication of the stupidity of the frank Zionists, and of course a sign of Qudish who are currently under pressure. From Silwan, or from Sheikh Jarrah, or from any part of Palestine.”
Journalist Muhammad Abu Nasira called for continuing to work to bypass the suffocation on communication platforms, writing, “In parallel with digital platforms stifling Palestinian content, the occupation forces intimidate Palestinian activists and journalists, Mona al-Kurd and Guevara al-Budairi, and the list will continue to expand in the coming days. The real duty is that there should be organized work.” And relentless and relentless efforts to make the cost of that heavy on the occupation and its tools.”
