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.
4. Israel's systematic dispossession of Palestinians since 1948 is the root cause of all violence in Palestine.
5. Unless or until the U.S. and international community hold Israeli leaders accountable for their actions, Israel will continue to forcibly displace Palestinian families from their homes in Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, and '48.
