| A sanctuary in peril | | Matthew Hatcher - The Electronic Intifada - The East Jerusalem school – which is registered with both the Israeli and Palestinian ministries of education – serves to give blind girls an education, culminating in the tawjihi, the national exam that 12th grade students must pass under the Palestinian curriculum to graduate from secondary school.
It also provides older women a chance to learn vocational skills such as stitching and loom weaving. Education is provided by qualified teachers and instructors and the school has braille textbooks for its students.
Located less than a mile from the school in another part of the Shuafat neighborhood is the boarding house in which the students and Mansour live. The house is another key to the school’s ethos. There, students live, eat and play together, and learn to take care of the small garden on the property. [bz]

| Settlers and government officials seize land in Sheikh Jarrah | | Ma`an - Israeli armed forces entered the western part of Sheikh
Jarrah Neighborhood in East Jerusalem, surrounded a piece of land
and prevented access to it. Bulldozers began to raze the land and
uproot several planted trees. The land belongs to a Palestinian
resident Palestinian resident, Abed al-Razzaq al-Sheikh, and is
located directly in front of his house. The operation, intended to
extend the Israeli settler enclave in Sheikh Jarrah, was overseen by
members of the Israeli Custodian of Absentees` Property. They claim
the land on the basis that that Sheikh Jarrah was once the site of a
19th century Jewish community. However, Israeli law does not permit
Palestinians who lost their land in 1948 to claim it back. Even for
claiming a former Jewish property, Israeli law required a specific
court order - which was not provided in this case. Thus, the action
by the settlers and the "Custodian" is illegal even under the
manifestly discriminatory Israeli law. [ak] | 28/8/2018 |
