I first learned of Mohammed El-Kurd through the short documentary My Neighbourhood, in which 12 year-old Mohammed shares his thoughts on having half of his family home occupied by settlers. “I hope he wasn’t killed,” I thought to myself as the documentary ended.
Thankfully, he escaped the fate of some of his friends and family and has grown up to be a thoughtful and articulate young man; this work stands in its own category among Palestinian memoir.
