Muna el-Kurd Biography

Muna el-Kurd is a Palestinian activist and journalist from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem, known for documenting life under Israeli occupation and highlighting the challenges faced by Palestinian families confronting forced displacement. El-Kurd graduated from Birzeit University with a degree in communications and journalism. Her reporting is informed by personal experience, as her family's home was partially seized by Israeli settlers and her community has faced the threat of eviction for decades.

El-Kurd gained international recognition through her involvement in the SaveSheikhJarrah campaign, a grassroots movement responding to the potential expulsion of Palestinian families under contested Israeli property laws. Alongside her twin brother, Mohammed el-Kurd, she utilized social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to document settler activity, police actions, and the daily realities of displacement. Through videos, live streams, and firsthand accounts, el-Kurd reached a global audience and brought attention to the situation in Sheikh Jarrah.

The advocacy efforts of the el-Kurd siblings contributed to widespread protests and were noted by TIME Magazine as influencing international discourse on Israel and Palestine. Both Muna and Mohammed el-Kurd were named to TIME Magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Despite being arrested and detained by Israeli authorities, el-Kurd continued her activism, emphasizing the importance of amplifying Palestinian voices.

Through social media, media interviews, and public speaking, el-Kurd has addressed narratives surrounding Palestinian resistance and highlighted the lived experiences of her community. Her grassroots organizing has mobilized the Palestinian diaspora and contributed to the global conversation on Palestinian human rights. El-Kurd has stated that sharing the realities of Palestinian life under occupation is a form of resistance.
