LIKE MUCH of the fighting between Israel and the Palestinians, the latest spasm of violence began as a dispute over a small bit of land. In this case it was the sunken plaza and wide steps around Damascus Gate, one of the ancient entrances to the old walled city at the heart of Jerusalem. For the Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem the plaza is a gathering spot. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan thousands come for coffee and sweets after breaking the day’s fast.
A case before Israel’s Supreme Court has added to the febrile atmosphere. In light of the violence the court postponed ruling on the possible eviction of some Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem. The land on which their homes sit was owned by Jews before Jordan occupied the eastern part of Jerusalem in 1948. Jordan used it to resettle Palestinian refugees from the western part of the city, which had been taken by Israel.
Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem is about to enter its 55th year. It claims to have “reunified” the city. But it remains irrevocably divided. Over a third of its population are Palestinians, most of whom have “residency” rights, which gives them access to Israeli social security and health care, but are not treated as equals to Israelis and face a variety of pressures to move out. Tens of thousands of Palestinians work in the Jewish, western part of the city, speaking Hebrew.
Dancing to triumphal songs while a holy temple is burning ... Please don't do innocent literature anymore because the people of Israel are not believable at all.
One doesn't have to know the conflict to condemn the violence that the heavily armed Israeli thugs in uniform have unleashed on unarmed Palestinians. One only needs to have a beating heart 💔
Reveal the information correctly. First specify the reason that why Gaza fired rockets. Okay? Israeli since last Friday attacking on Palestinian, yesterday they stormed al-aqsa-mosque in which more than hundreds of Palestinians injured.
And you called this journalism.. if it's other way round, the Israeli would have been declared a terrorist group by now
Israel is a killer.. Israel is a child killer.. Israel is the official organization form of terrorism.. Israel = Is real a terrorist..
Israel kills civilians and kids while illegally occupying Palestinian lands
di mo kailangan makipag-away mas mabuti pang kaibigan Ang kaaway Sabi pa nga ni Jesus. Ikaw Lang Israel mahilig sa away. Pls stop war and make peace. Worry about Hunger and make solutions in your economy and Water resources.
And here I was telling myself that The Economist has ethics and deontology. Oh well
The Israelis are guilty of Domestic terrorism they are heartless brutal barbarians, committing crimes against humanity, straight to The Hague.
You don't need to be Muslim to stand for Gaza-Palestine. You just need to be HUMAN 🤬 10 million Jews do not respect the places of worship of 1.5 billion Muslims and are killing children. Are you aware that we are living in 2021!!!!!
The attack of the Israeli forces on the Al-Aqsa Mosque is an attack on the Islamic nation.
You can’t just go in and throw people out of their homes and then build an Israeli home on top of it. That’s just crazy.
Dark side of chronic Conflicts is that it gives legitimacy to each party to think that 'it is THE VICTIM', no mater who is who and what is what. A genuine pause & retrospection can show the path. As such there is no path to peace, but peace is the path. UN Israel Palestine
The problem created by the British and The USA is pumping the gas. I do not know there is any solution. The USA is the biggest country; the USA can bring all the people from Gaza to ease the situation.
Oh Israel is at the root of this, as their land-grab and evictions of Palestinians looms large. Israeli version of ManifestDestiny SavePalestine Hzsalah93
Israeli terrorism not violence. One sided genocide.
Violence Correct it and replace with Israel terrorism.. violence happened between two parties ' here there is no equilibrium at all. One Party has state of the art modern weaponry and other have stones
thanks
