July 26th, 2009. Israeli settlers occupy a house in Sheik Jarrah, a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem. This is part of a larger plan by settlers, the most visible of them, Irving Moskowitz, an American Jew, to put facts on the ground in East Jerusalem, halting any attempts by Palestinians to claim East Jerusalem as a capital for their future state. In the meantime what is occurring is nothing short of ethnic cleansing of thousands of Palestinians from homes they have lived in for fifty years or more.
