FILE - In this April 17, 2019 file photo, Palestinians watch a family house destroyed by Israeli authorities in east Jerusalem's neighborhood of Silwan. Scores of Palestinian-owned residences in east Jerusalem now face demolition by Israeli authorities after the Supreme Court dismissed residents' appeal on the grounds that the houses were built illegally in a city park.
“God willing, we won’t be next,” said Kashour, who claims she built the neighborhood’s first house, a stone cottage ringed with rose bushes, on land her family has owned for 50 years. Although city regulations forbid construction of any kind in designated parks, the municipality confirmed it was working to alter zoning restrictions and retroactively authorize City of David’s construction and facilitate its expansion.
The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the case brought an end to the residents’ costly decade-long legal battle to get their houses, in many cases built decades ago on inherited family land, authorized by Israel. Israel captured east Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast War and annexed it, a move not internationally recognized. Since then, Israel has boosted the Jewish presence there, building neighborhoods where over 200,000 Jews now live.
This post is antisemitic
Jerusalem is Israeli, they can do whatever they like. Too bad, so sad
Israel is a notorious human rights violator and a disgusting regime. This is NOT ok!
It is possible to be pro-Israel and anti-Netanyahu and note what IsraeliPM is doing and has done to Palestinians IS WRONG!! Demolishing homes, killing unarmed protesters and unfettered land grabbing is abhorrent.
Lebensraum Politik.
Sorry for the Holocaust. That does NOT excuse this.
“Contested”. I think the word you are looking for is occupied by apartheid Israel.
More war crimes by Israel.
Fakenews
Disgraceful, And nothing is done because most political leaders think it is fine because they are Jewish
There are a lot of problems
Can't we all just get along?
Israel keeps telling Palistians you can have this land then nope we're taking it too. This needs to stop

House Republicans sidestep Democrats to arrange limited interview with key White House stafferThe White House has agreed to allow a former key official, who recently defied a subpoena, to testify about the security clearance process. The Democrats never asked for a private interview They asked for an open hearing They should stick to that Full stop P.S Fuck the freedom caucus ( it felt good to type so I went for it lol ) Unacceptable. He represents & speaks on behalf of the government & to the people. He represents the ethics, values, & commitment to transparency of the government to the American people, not party. He is not required to lie for him & if ordered to do so he could resign 😑 Don’t let Jordan gets away with this Cummings? They’re all protecting each other. iMovie
