Mohammed el-Kurd is a well-known activist, poet, and writer from the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in occupied Jerusalem.
Palestinian writer Mohammed el-Kurd spoke to Jacobin about Israel’s vicious war on Gaza and the daily humiliations and frequent killing that Israel has long inflicted on Palestinians. “We are told time and time again that our death is business as usual.”
Mohammed el-Kurd has become the face of Palestinian resistance to Israeli apartheid. His fearlessness and ability to speak truth to power has helped galvanize the global anti-Zionist movement.
