Qusay told Al Jazeera that the settlers divided themselves into groups to attack the Palestinian tents. Five of the settlers attacked his tent where he had been asleep and began beating him severely with their hands and sticks.
The United Nations voted to describe the transatlantic chattel slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity and called for reparations as a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs.
With the sounding of a siren at 8pm on Monday, Israel begins the commemoration of Memorial Day, remembering soldiers killed since the establishment of the first Jewish settlements in Palestine in 1860, through Israel's many wars with its neighbours and attacks on Palestinians, up to those who died enacting its genocide in Gaza.
