Riwayat Hidup
Zvi Benninga is an Israeli medical student who grew up in West Jerusalem.
When he hears about the evictions taking place in Sheikh Jarrah, he and his sister Sara begin attending protests regularly.
He believes the evictions and settlements are destroying the moral fabric of Israeli society and making a pluralistic future in Jerusalem impossible.
Before long, Zvi and Sara convince their parents, who are initially uncomfortable with the idea of challenging the Israeli authorities, to join the protests.
Reflecting on his activism, Zvi says: “On the one hand [my activism] made me much more critical towards the place where I live.
On the other hand it really connected me to this place.
It made me realize that I care about what happens here and that I stay so I can be involved.

Mohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian...My Neighbourhood 2012
Mohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11, his family is forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers, who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area. Shortly after their displacement, Mohammed’s family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions, determined not to lose their homes for good. In a surprising turn, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name. Among them is Jewish West Jerusalem resident Zvi Benninga and his sister Sara, who develop a strong relationship with Mohammed and his family as they take on a leading role in organizing the protests.
