The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Breaking the ring of settlements - Friday, 27/3, 13:45, Damascus Gate Stop the Judaization of East Jerusalem! Breaking the ring of settlements Friday, 27/3, 13:45, Damascus Gate Two families in East Jerusalem are facing imminent eviction from their homes: Sub Laban family from the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, and Shamasne family from the neighbourhood of Sheik Jarach. These evictions are part of ongoing efforts of the settler movement supported by the state to create a ring of settlements surrounding the Old City in order to promise the continued control of Jews on Jerusalem as a whole. This coming Friday (27/3) we will march together with members of the two families from the Sub Labens` house in the Muslim Quarter to Shamasnes` home in Sheik Jarach. Our aims are to prevent the eviction of the faimilies and resist the Judaization of East Jerusalem. The eviction of the two families is being promoted under the legal pretext of the houses having been owned by Jewish families prior to 1948. While they face losing the homes they have lived in for decades, their own rights to the land and assets these families lost in 1948 are denied. In this way, the law discriminates between Jews and Palestinians, making these Palestinian families, along many others, refugees for the second time. https://www.facebook.com/events/798530676894603/ Together, Israelis and Palestinians, we will call: Stop the Judaization!
