The Two Palestinian families evicted from their homes today in East Jerusalem were accused of “harboring international activists”, a term which could be applied to anyone who is politically active or merely engaging in their profession, such as a journalist.
Palestinian’s claim that this is an effort by Israel to gradually remove each resident from the area and build a hotel on the site. Residents claim that the land was originally owned by Palestinian’s and therefore Israel cannot make a claim for the land.
Instead, Israel is finding legal grounds on which to remove the residents, including making ambigous allegations of alleged criminal or civil acts to justify the evictions.
