An eighty-year-old Palestinian named al-Nawaj'ah, who has lived through significant historical upheavals such as the Nakba, vows to remain steadfast in his village of Susya despite the ongoing challenges presented by the occupation. He speaks of the daily violence inflicted by settlers and the Israeli military, which has intensified since 1985, resulting in a near-complete deprivation of access for solidarity activists and journalists to his village. Despite these difficulties, al-Nawaj'ah states that he will not leave and will die in his tent, just as his late wife did earlier this year.

The context surrounding al-Nawaj'ah's situation highlights the broader crisis facing Palestinians, particularly in areas like Susya, where land seizures for settlement construction have become a painful reality. His family has previously suffered displacement, with his father losing hundreds of dunams of farmland in the nearby area before they relocated to Susya. The ongoing violence and restrictions have left the residents of Susya in a constant state of fear and uncertainty about their future, as reflected in al-Nawaj'ah's poignant statements.

Al-Nawaj'ah’s story is not just one of personal determination but represents the resilience of many Palestinians who refuse to abandon their ancestral lands amid attempts of forced displacement. His experience sheds light on the harsh realities faced by his community and serves as a testament to their enduring spirit and commitment to resist Policies aimed at their removal, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
