Palestinian American raises US flag amid settler siege

A man named Loui Ridi lives in a village called Qusra in the West Bank.

He is an American citizen, but he also has family land there.

Some other people called settlers are trying to take over the land near his home.

To try to keep them away, Ridi put up a big American flag on his house.

He hoped the flag would make the settlers stop.

But one settler still came onto his land and argued with him.

Israeli soldiers came and told the settler to leave.

The soldiers also told Ridi to go inside his house.

Ridi's neighbors are scared to leave their homes because of the settlers.

Some people in nearby villages also fly American flags for protection.

American leaders are asking Israel's leader to speak out against the settlers.

The settlers want more land, but the Palestinian families want to stay in their homes.
