The Salhiye family forcibly dispossessed on a freezing winter night in Sheikh Jarrah & their home demolished by Israeli regime forces. Real time ethnic cleansing.
The brutality, cruelty & illegality of policies of occupation & apartheid for Palestinians
International community platitudes & sadness isn’t enough. Political action to end aggressive & brutal policies of Israeli occupation, apartheid & ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, inc forced dispossessions & demolitions, is needed.
The likes of @UKinJerusalem and @EUpalestinians can’t pretend to be shocked by such forced dispossessions of their Palestinian neighbours in Sheikh Jarrah - literally across the road.
They’ve seen what’s been happening for years. Some of their staff members have been living it.
Imagine attempting to justify the cruelty of Israeli occupation and apartheid, the forced dispossession of a Palestinian family and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Jerusalem.
Imagine hating Palestinians that much, being full of anti-Palestinian racism, to justify it.
Israeli police violence and arrests of those protesting the forced dispossession of the Salhiye family and demolition of their home in Sheikh Jarrah outside the home of the mayor of Jerusalem
Such sickness & depravity. Anti-Palestinian racism & hatred of Palestinians in action.
Here's Jerusalem's Deputy Mayor thanking Israeli occupation forces for braving the cold, for ethnic cleansing in real time & forcibly dispossessing the Salhiye family & demolishing their home
Israeli regime forces are forcibly evicting & dispossessing the Palestinian Salhiye family from their home in Sheikh Jarrah in occupied East Jerusalem. The brutal reality of a vicious Israeli occupation which sees them dumped onto the street in cold winter
“He who leaves his home is a traitor. We won’t leave our home. Either we live or die”, says Mahmoud Salhiye on the top of his Sheikh Jarrah home threatening to set himself & his home on fire, as Israeli regime forces try to forcibly evict & dispossess them
Odious and disgusting. Classic anti-Semitic trope straight from the far-right and Viktor Orbán playbook from Jacob Rees-Mogg:
“The remoaner funder in chief was one George Soros."
Important from @AlfDubs: "Like George Soros, I fled Nazi persecution, & like me, Soros campaigns for European countries to give sanctuary to refugees" Says @BorisJohnson should sack Jacob Rees-Mogg for remarks "straight from far right antisemitic playbook" jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/lord-alf-dubs-…
@AlfDubs@BorisJohnson@Mendelpol It isn't like Jacob Rees-Mogg hasn't got form with this. He defended his decision to promote a video from Germany's far right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). These anti-Semitic tropes & rhetoric on George Soros should come as no surprise. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
