HAARETZ: U.S. condemns eviction of Arab families from East JerusalemThe United States and the United Nations sharply condemned the eviction of two Palestinian families from their homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and their replacement with Jewish families on Sunday.
Diplomats from the U.S. Embassy sent a protest letter to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, stressing the move went against the spirit of the road map. The diplomats said a high-level protest will be communicated to Israel later on Monday.
A large force of several hundred police officers evicted the two families from their homes in the early Sunday morning. Hours later the families' possessions were cleared from the homes and two Jewish families moved in.
The eviction came at the end of a long legal process. The families, Hannun and Gawi, say they are refugees from Palestinian neighborhoods in West Jerusalem who lost their homes in the War of Independence.
They were housed by the UN and the Jordanian authorities in East Jerusalem homes that previously belonged to a Sephardic community committee. Israeli courts acknowledged the committee's ownership of the houses, but provided a protected tenant status for the residents.
However, the committee, which supports the Jewish families' bid for the homes, had since claimed that the Palestinian families violated the agreement and demanded their eviction. Several families have been evicted over the years, the last - before Sunday - in November 2008. That family's protest tent was demolished during Sunday's eviction.
WHAT'S NEXT, OBAMA VOTING AT THE UNScR TO PUT SANCTIONS AGAINST ISRAEL?
- I HAVE LONG BELIEVED THIS WOULD HAPPEN; TODAY'S EVENTS SOLIDIFY THAT BELIEF.
- THESE EVICTIONS HAVE COME AFTER A LONG LEGAL PROCESS GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE ISRAELI SUPREME COURT - WHICH HAS AN ARAB ON IT!
- THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BY JEWS; THE ARABS LIVING THERE HAD NO RIGHT TO LIVE THERE.
- AS IN THE CASE OF HONDURAS, OBAMA CARES NOT ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW - ONLY AIDING HIS COMRADES ON THE LEFT AND IN THE JIHAD.
He is not only siding with Arabs, but with the whole civilized world. Sometimes you wonder if Israel belongs to it...
ReplyDeleteOSKAR:
ReplyDeleteU ARE A ANTISEMITIC PIECE OF SHIT.
IN ISRAEL, ARABS HAVE MORE RIGHTS AND A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE REGION.
THEY HAVE MK'S, AND A JUDGE ON THE SUPREME COURT.
THEY ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS AS MOST ARE IN THE KINGDOM.
THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF ISRAEL AND INTO EGYPT - YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
ISRAEL DOESN'T SPONSOR MASS MARRIAGES OF ADULT MEN TO CHILDREN - AS HAMAS DOES (WHEN THEY'RE NT FIRING ROCKETS INDISCRIMINATELY INTO ISRAEL).
THAT IS CIVILIZED!?!?!
BUT YOU NEVER CRITICIZE THEM.
YOU FUCKING PIECE OF ARABDICKLICKING LEFTIST SCUM.
OSKAR: YOU ARE AN IMMORAL PIECE OF SHIT.
IF YOU WEE HER NOW I'D PUNCH YOU IN THE NOSE.
YES: THE REST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD: THAT DID NOTHING TO SAVE THE RWANDANS.
YOU CIVILIZED EURPEANS WHO DID NOTHING TO SAVE KOSOVARS.
NOT TO MENTION PERPETRATE THE HOLOCAUST.
YOU EUROPEANS ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH.
COWARDS WHO NEEDED THE USA TO LIBERATE YOU FROM NAZISM AND COMMUNISM AND QUISLING SCUM.
COWARDLY IMMORAL SCUM. THAT'S WHAT YUOU ARE OSKAR.
I WISH YOU ROT IN HELL.
Screw Haaretz. Almost every claim in that article was false. They were Jewish homes in which Arabs had squatted for years. They had fake documents claiming that the property had been theirs going back to the Ottoman Empire. The court side in favor or facts. The homes were simply returned to their rightful owners, and not until it went to court was the UN involved. The UN has no jurisdiction in Jerusalem anyway.
ReplyDeleteHere's what actually happened.
Obama's stance is illegal, as is preventing anybody from doing anything anywhere on the basis of creed, according to the Charter of his beloved UN.
Update: I watched Al-Jizz version of this over on Barenaked Islam and it's identical to Haaretz's version. INN has the real story.
ReplyDeleteAPPRECIATE THAT JDAMN, BUT THE POINT OF THIS POST IS THAT OBAMA HAS FORAMLLY SIDED WITH ARABS AGAINST ISRAEL.
ReplyDeleteTHE ISSUE AT HAND IS MERELY A PRESTEXT FOR A LONG-THOUGHT OUT PLAN BY OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES TO FUCK ISRAEL.
Talking like the true white trash of US that you are.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you bringing up the holocaust, seems very relevant, maybe you wanna mention Julius Caesar or Hannibal.
How about the genocide of native americans? Or the US bombings of Cambodia. Just to mention two examples.
And no, I am not a fan of Hamas, not even sure why you brought them up here. But the reason that I dont talk about them is that you do that enough, this blog needs some balance.
And
