Eviction in East Jerusalem – Inside Story

Under its latest fascist ethnocratic government with Netanyahoo at the helm, Israel steps up its vile theft of Palestinian land in East Jerusalem – Palestinians are evicted and their homes demolished so Jewish settlers can move in. Under international law, Israel acts illegally and thus far, with impunity, eroding the peace process in order to make both two state and one state solutions impossible. According to Israeli peace organisation B’t Selem, Israel has demolished 350 Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem since 2004.

The hilltops are being systematically taken in a sort of inversion of the topography of justice,” Dyer writes.
