Loui Ridi Defies Settler Siege in West Bank | Amarillo News

Loui Ridi, a Palestinian American who owns property in the West Bank village of Qusra, returned from Ohio to confront Israeli settlers blocking his family’s home for over a week. Amid a broader surge of settler violence—including arson and harassment—Ridi’s family has been trapped inside their house while soldiers patrol nearby. Despite U.S. condemnation and military presence, settlers remain active, interacting with troops and escalating tensions. Since January, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 87 Palestinians, while three Israelis have been killed by Palestinians. Ridi, watching the siege unfold on security cameras and refusing to surrender his home, reunited with his family Monday night—his brother and nephew had held the line inside. He’s furious that accessing his own property has become impossible under the guise of “security.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
