Issawiya Under Attack

Last Saturday (November 6), undercover Israeli police forces entered the East Jerusalem village of Issawiya in an attempt to get information from residents. Since then, Israeli police have set up daily roadblocks, disrupting the neighborhood and its residents. On Tuesday (November 9) morning, Israeli police set up a major roadblock at one of the village's two entrances and handed out tickets to drivers. Israeli riot police then stormed Issawiya, launching tear gas at young Palestinians and terrorizing the entire neighborhood.

@qgjones I dont know where you got your info from but this town is 400 years old and it lost 94% of its land in 1967 not in 1948, when people take 94% of your town you would be pissed off too there not gonna welcome you with open arms so please next time before you type some hate get your facts straight

Right this is a place right next to Hebrew university (the part of Eastern Jerusalem that the Jordanians did not manage to occupy in 1948 after the mandate partition). The Jerusalem suburb where non Arab israelis get lynched if they accidentally make a wrong turn and happened to be identified as infidels. But I guess the AIC does not consider drug running and lynch attempts, or even the planing of the murder of unarmed civilians as legitimate reasons for security personal to get involved. Coul
