A Palestinian American’s journey to his West Bank home under settler siege
Reporters documented Loui Ridi's journey from the U.S. to his home in Qusra, a tiny village in an area of the West Bank that has seen frequent settler attacks and land seizures.
QUSRA, West Bank – Palestinian American Loui Ridi faced a dire situation as militant Israeli settlers surrounded his home in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra. Worried about losing his residence, Ridi, who lives in Toledo, Ohio, watched the Israeli settlers on security camera feeds for seven sleepless nights. The 46-year-old, who once lived in Qusra before moving to the U.S., decided to fly to the Middle East to try and reach his home.
Despite the ongoing Israeli seizures of Palestinian property in the territory, Ridi embarked on a journey from Detroit to Qusra on Monday, determined to visit his family's property.
