Wow. Speaking of a difficult read.
“For us, the story of the house is in many ways the story of Talbieh, or the story of Jerusalem, or of Israel as a whole,” said Shauloff. “A house that was built by Palestinians, rented to Jews in very capitalistic fashion, remained theirs after the war and eventually came to be owned by them, making them property owners and part of a local elite that profits from the house by selling it to the foreign elite.” Added Kaplan: “It’s an exit on top of an exit on top of an exit.”
Just like that..."...and eventually came to be owned by them..."
One key missing point, where are the owners today, their children, their grandchildren...their stories?
