We call for an end to the eviction of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah.

People should be able to live where they want, irrespective of their race, religion, or other factors.

Nahalat Shimon, a U.S.-based settler organization, is trying to have Palestinians evicted. Once they are evicted, the property would then be turned over to Jewish settlers under Israeli law. They would get nothing to ease their displacement.

In addition to these evictions and others of the same kind, the Israeli government refuses to grant building permits to Palestinians in the occupied territories who seek to build themselves homes.

As YIMBYs we believe that people should be able to live where they want. In addition, we support people’s efforts to build homes on land they own.

We believe that local governments should permit housing. We don’t believe in discrimination of any kind. A person’s ability to live in a city, or a neighborhood, should not be affected by their race or religion.

The evictions in Sheikh Jarrah must end.
