ALBAWABA - A video circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) recently sparked anger from pro-Palestine and human rights activists after capturing several Israelis reportedly stealing a Palestinian man's home and his fridge.
The video captured several Israelis carrying a fridge outside a home's door with a Palestinian man screaming, "This is ethnic cleansing." Additionally, another Israeli man exited the door with a bottle of milk, which he sarcastically gave to the home's owner to allegedly provoke him.

While the video recently resurfaced, the incident dates back to 2023 when Israeli forces and settlers expelled a Palestinian family from their home in the Old City of Jerusalem under an Israeli court order, as reported by Al-Jazeera.
The home belonged to a Palestinian man called Ghaith-Sub Laban, alongside his family, who were forced out of their home. According to a report from Al Jazeera, the Sub Laban family has been renting the Jerusalem home since 1953.
However, they lost a 45-year legal battle against the Israeli courts, prompting the family's inhumane displacement.
Videos of the displacement incident flooded social media, with one capturing Ghaith carrying a tree reportedly as old as his 17-year-old son, the only item the family was permitted to take with them until they return.
