Two Palestinian families, totalling 46 persons, were evacuated from their homes in Sheikh Jarrakh, East Jerusalem, on 2 August 2009, and settlers immediately moved in to the houses. The Israeli High Court has accepted the claim to Jewish ownership of this property from the 1930's, and a settler association is planning to erect a Jewish neighborhood in the area. This is act continues the ongoing policy of the Israeli government to isolate East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank and stifle Palestinian development there.

  • Israel is disgusting. They are an atheist society. No longer Gods people.

  • And asking why can't the Arabs go live in the Arab states - how about the Israelis stick to THEIR established, legally set boundaries? Or why can't the ethnically East European Jews go back to Poland and Russia? After all, that's where they belong, according to your excuse of an argument which seems to want to mix religion and ethnicity. Arab is not Muslim, Muslim is not Arab.

  • These are homes that were stolen from Jews. It's too bad elitist Israelis from Tel Aviv choose to ignore this fact.

  • Jews cowards

  • No longer? They never were "god's chosen people" in the first place.

  • The Palestinians are being turned into fundamentalists by the constant encroachment into their territory by the Israelis who, because they are backed by the US, can get away with invasions that no other country would. If the Jews want to chuck in 'we're owed this land, King David gave it to us', maybe I should start kicking French people out of their homes using a centuries' old piece of jingoistic nonsense to justify it.
