Sheikh Jarah is a neighborhood in east Jerusalem, where the majority of the population is of Palestinian origin. The government doesn't like this and, during the night, military incursions take place to liberate the houses and assign them to Israeli settlers. However, not all Israelis agree with the government, some understand how wrong this system is and therefore try to demonstrate peacefully alongside the Palestinians, so that things can change. Now that there is war, and everything takes on a different meaning.
