On Sunday morning Israeli occupation forces raided and evicted 53 more Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem and helped extremist settlers empty the house and move in. This is a process of slow ethnic cleansing, of the 28 families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, near to the old city, the first were evicted last November. On the 28th of June Israeli police helped settlers take over a house in which the Palestinian owner had just passed away, as well as other buildings being taken over by extremist settlers in the ancient Palestinian neighbourhood. Israel is picking of Palestinian homes and transfering settlers in one by one in order to get as little attention as possible, while it is actually clearling East Jerusalem of it's Palestinian population and creating facts on the ground. Stealing homes is ethnic cleansing. We must act now!
Come down to the Israeli Embassy to let them know we that we are witness to their crime of stealing homes to ethnically cleanse East Jerusalem of Palestinians. We are going to be there from 5pm to 8pm tonight. Israeli Embassy, 2 Palace Green, London, W8 4QB, 2 mins from Kensington High Street Tube.
