"After spending the whole night with my two brothers in a car on a desert road to Jerusalem - since we feared being targeted by israelis on the main roads - we decided to go home at dawn. Around the entryway to my town, we were surprised by a group of israeli civilians who were making an improvised tollhouse, with flags and iron bars. They stopped the car, then proceeded to break all the windows.
I asked my brother, who was in the backseat with our little sister, to lay on her and so that she wouldn't be hurt, but I soon realized that if we didn't get out quick they would kill the most important people in my life right there.
I decided to leave the car, and I know I was probably leaving to my own death, but between keeping my own life and those of my siblings I chose theirs.
When I left my car one of the israeli jews saw the crucifix in my neck and yelled "YESHU!", then took it from my neck violently.
Then the beating started. In my face and my stomach. I can't remember much but I do remember one of them saying "we will beat you to death, just like your god was".
I could only think of Jesus at that time, and I know that if I am alive today, it is because He loves me very much.
Some might say I was delirious, but as I was being hit I saw my God, mauled as those israeli jews said He was, stretching His hands to me.
He saved my life, there's nothing else that can explain it. Christ was indeed mauled, but He also resurrected!
My brother eventually jumped off the car and fired his gun in the air, and only then the mob dispersed.
Today I faced death, but the Lord God spared me.
We couldn't go to the hospital as we can't go to the Jerusalem Hospital, but my brother cared for my wounds at home. He sewed me without anesthetics but I'm alive and this is what matters.
Here, the enemies of the Christians are the israeli jews... We live in a Christian neighborhood and every other day israeli soldiers try to evict us from our house, which we lawfully bought and have documentation thereof, because "a group of jewish students want to live here and they have the right to do so because they're jews."
We obviously didn't leave, but every day it gets harder to stay, but me and my brother have decided not to move because this is what Israel wants: that we leave our homes so they can occupy them.
We will resist! We won't give up!
Intensify your prayers for us, I ask especially to you in the West. We Christian Palestinians are also being massacred by Israel. We are your brethren and we're asking for help.
Never stop praying, because miracles exist and today I was one of them!"
