Ben Atar Squat under Threat of Eviction

Gali Atari | 21.10.2007 16:26 | Free Spaces | Palestine | World

The three years old squat in Florentin, a southern neiboughrhood of Tel Aviv, recieved an eviction order for this coming Teusday. Protests are planned.



The squat is located in Florentin, a lower class neighborhood in south Tel Aviv that is going through a process of gentrification for many years. The building in Ben-Atar st. is owned by the religious municipality and was used as a Mikveh (a religious bath). For the last 12 years the building was not used by it's legal owners and was kept empty for many years.

Around 3 years ago, a group of young Anarchists and Punks, many of them homeless, decided to move into the building, live in it and start a social center for the activists scene and the neighborhood.

During the three years of existence the squat hosted many events, film screening, shows, exhibitions, partys and many more. It also was a center for many political groups, artists musicians, and a place for people who were looking for a warm place to stay in.

It also became a home for the small but very active anarchist community in Israel, for the Anarchists Against the Wall group, for the animal rights activists, for ecological feminists and radical queers.

After a long legal process that was made by at list some of the owners, the court decided to evict the squatters. it is not yet clear what are the owners planning to do with the house.

The eviction order is for Tuesday the 23.10. People are invited to come to a protest party in the yard of the squat at 7:00 in the morning that day.

Solidarity is our weapon!

Squat the World!

Koepi Bleibt und Ben Atar auch!
