⚠ Any day now, the Israeli authorities may force Nora and Mustafa out of their home and hand it over to Israeli settlers. They are among 970 Palestinians facing #ForcedEviction in #EastJerusalem - a practice incompatible with international law. Everyone should be safe at home.

[Free Nora’s Home @NorasEviction]

The Ghaith-Sub Laban family received information that the eviction is likely moving ahead tomorrow morning, Sunday 11 June. Israeli forces are expected to gather outside the house as early as 7 am.

Vanmiddag ontvingen we een delegatie van Palestijnse christenen.

Hun perspectief is belangrijk om in te zien dat het geen religieus conflict, maar simpelweg kolonialisme.

Met CU, Lijst Kabamba, Bij1, D66 en de PvdA hoorden we hoe de christelijke aanwezigheid wordt uitgewist.

Today Israeli forces destroyed 3 homes in Wadi al Joz, Jerusalem. The homes belong to brothers of the al Totah family. The demolitions leave around 20 people without shelter.
