ISRAEL AND THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY: HALT THE EVICTION OF SALEH DIAB AND HIS FAMILY

Saleh Diab and his family are at risk of unlawful transfer from occupied East Jerusalem after the Israeli District Court rejected their appeal against eviction from their home in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in February 2025. These forced evictions, led by settler group Nachalat Shimon, are part of a continuing pattern of dispossession in Sheikh Jarrah. In November, the Israeli Supreme Court granted the family a leave to appeal this decision, as well as an injunction freezing the eviction, marking their final legal lifeline against displacement.

So basically when they claim “Israel steals Palestinians’ homes” the houses aren’t even owned by the Palestinians but Jews whose families were kicked out by Jordan in 1948 and still retained ownership? And the Palestinians stopped paying rent but acted like they owned the place?

If you are referring to the Sheikh Jarrah issue and its "evictions," this is the best summary I have ever seen; please read the whole thing.

It's a great microcosm of all the details in I/P that the outside world never comprehends. These are properties that changed owners 5 times in 50 years (Ottoman, Jewish charity, UK, Jordan, Israel), lots of people still have their paperwork from prior regimes, but we live in Today, and right now, in Today, someone has to collect the rent. The Palestinian inhabitants agreed in court to pay (an insignificant) rent, then were convinced not to honor that deal and stop paying because the Jews have no right to be there and surely Israel will be destroyed soon. They are now sticking to that position whenever Israel tries to compromise with them - "Why should we compromise, go back to Poland." Basically no one was actually evicted and it was in litigation for decades, yet the outside world treated it like Les Mis. Special thanks to John Oliver - the pro-choice Glenn Beck - for soundbiting a generation of college students to hate Jews and encourage endless conflict over this. The innumerable charity groups for Pitystine could have paid all their mortgages up to the next ice age, but their point is to prolong and glamorize conflict instead of resolving it.

What is happening in occupied East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah?

Israel ordered six Palestinian families to leave their homes in Sheikh Jarrah on May 2 to make way for Jewish settlers.

12 years ago Israel seizing Palestinian homes for themselves in East Jerusalem: "Wherever you look in Sheikh Jarrah you will see either police or settlers. Sheikh Jarrah feels like a military zone. Enter any home on Sheikh Jarrah and you will find a sad story"

"To encounter security forces in our neighbourhood is very normal. They give protection and security to the settlers."

" A short fact about this playground. You see that area over there? Over there? Every settler mother has a key for that lock over there. Every time her children want to play they can go in. However, if a Palestinian child wants to go in they'll be smacked by the settlers."

The 'tourist' with the very American accent screaming at the Palestinians "We're here to stay. You're murderers" is not only horrific and abusive but tells you everything you need to know about the intentionally demonising propaganda and where it circulates. The "we" also tells you about the national identities of the settlers and occupiers, and apartheid enforcers.

The Palestinians are right, but also very brave, when they call them "theives" - they are. Israel has never been a peaceful immigration population.

“Palestinian homes in Sheikh Jarrah are being stolen during the holy month of Ramadan by Israeli Settlers. Israel is violating international laws and inciting violence with these war crimes -- it's time for the State Department to step in.”

The Tumblr community's understanding of this topic has been a little simplistic and one-sided, so here's something more.

A photo I snapped earlier this year of a Shireen Abu Akleh mural painted on the wall leading into the El-Kurd family home in Sheikh Jarrah, occupied East Jerusalem. The front half of their home is illegally occupied as an Israeli settlement - currently taken over by an American citizen (if you haven't already, please watch this stunning Vice report below related to this. YouTube, like a lot of sites, censors and restricts Palestinian content and requires age verification so please sign in and watch)

Thinking of the past year, what comes to mind most is how deadly it was for Palestinians and how much worse the occupation will get in the new year with Netanyahu's government. And the world, particularly the US, is going to just sit by and let it happen.
