BREAKING: Israeli Border Police Arrest Salahiya Family & Expel Them from Their Home #SaveSheikhJarrah
The Salahiya family has been fighting to protect their home against Israel’s increased efforts to kick #Palestinians out of East Jerusalem in order to give their homes and land to Israeli settlers.

We are witnessing ethnic cleansing in action.
Mahmoud Salahiya, who Israel has now arrested for protecting his home, had this to say yesterday:

“We will not flee again. We have nowhere else to go. You expelled us once already in 1948. We either die in our home or we live. We are not leaving,”
All eyes on Sheikh Jarrah. #SaveSheikhJarrah #SaveJerusalem

Some things to remember as you discuss or report on what's happening in Palestine right now:

1. Under international law, East Jerusalem is Palestinian land that is illegally occupied by Israel.
2. Israel forcibly removes Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem and encourages Jewish settlers to take over. There are more than 300,000 Jewish settlers living illegally on occupied Palestinian land in East Jerusalem.
3. Israel's policy when it comes to East Jerusalem is clear: reduce the number of Palestinians and increase the number of Jewish Israelis, also known as "Judaization." In other words, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Israel’s destruction of the Salahiya family home is not an isolated incident.

It is part of Israel’s ongoing effort to steal Palestinian homes and land in order to replace Palestinians with Israeli settlers whose presence on Palestinian land is illegal.
It is the same goal that Israel was founded on when it violently expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948 in what is called the Nakba.

The Nakba never ended. Today it looks like what is happening to the Salahiyas.
But the Salahiyas are far from the only family who Israel is targeting.

Palestinians experience the Nakba every day through Israel’s relentless destruction of Palestinian homes, arrests, beatings, and killings.

In the letter, the signees call out Israel for being an apartheid state and voice their stance against Israel’s ongoing forced displacement of Palestinian families.
They write:

“We recognize the underlying power imbalance between Israel, the occupying power, and the Palestinians, the people under a system of military occupation and apartheid.”
