Left: Sherkessi Villa of Palestinian entrepreneur, Ibrahim Haqqi, in Qatamon, #Jerusalem 1930

Right: The villa today as the headquarters of the Zionist "International Christian Embassy Jerusalem."

In 1948, Zionist militias attacked Qatamon, forcing its Christian population out

2\ The Sherkessi villa was 1 of the most luxurious Palestinian villas in #Jerusalem; with unique architecture & captivating beauty.

When Israel was founded, the owner & his 7 kids were permanently made refugees in Jordan.

They have not been able to even visit since 1948.

3\ The owner's eldest son, Hani, keeps a portrait of his father's "Sherkessi Villa" at his home.

Returning was his mother Qudsiya's dream, a native of #Jerusalem.

He remembers every little detail in the house; his parents room; the washing area; the fountain..

He can't return!

"The revered Dr. Baruch Goldstein... Son of #Israel.
He gave his soul for the sake of the people of Israel, the Torah & the Land. His hands are CLEAN & his heart good."

Overnight, #Israeli settlers took over Palestinian land in Nablus & declared it a settlement. Just like that!

When the Israeli police came to evacuate the outpost, Israel's Security & Finance Ministers, Ben-Gvir & Smotrich, rushed to defend the settlers & stop the evacuation!🧵

2\ A member of Knesset from the ruling coalition, Son Har-Melech, rushed to the illegal outpost to prevent its evacuation & show support to the Hilltop Youth

She said the outpost was "extremely essential" to undermine Palestinian presence in the West Bank

3\ Israeli politicians are piling on to defend the illegal theft of Palestinian land & the extremist Hilltop Youth group.

Danny Danon, Chair of the World Likud, says #Israel should instead be demolishing the Palestinian Khan Al-Ahmar & promote more settlements!

For heaven's sake!
In Gaza, Atta (4) has NEVER met his dad in Ramallah because #Israel would NOT let him.

“Why don’t you want me see to my dad?” Atta keeps asking his mom, not realizing that “traveling to Australia is easier than traveling 2 hours by car from Gaza to Ramallah”!

2\ Last time #Israel allowed, Atta's mom, Ahlam, to Ramallah was more than 4 YEARS AGO, not to reunite with her husband, but only as "an escort with her ill mom" who needed surgery.

In Gaza, there's a 100 spouses like Ahlam whom Israel won't allow to reunite with partners in WB.

3\ Ahlam (42) has been forced to parent 5 kids on her own in Gaza, because #Israel won't let her reunite with her husband in Ramallah for no reason!

"Enough's enough! I can no longer bear it."

Meanwhile, Israel is planning to launch a campaign called "There is no occupation"!

1\ Activists daring to raise the Palestinian flag at the #Israeli pro-democracy demonstrations tonight were at risk of assault by both the police & fellow protesters who think that "democracy to all" is too controversial & outrageous.

2\ Here, a pro-democracy protester blocks the Channel 14 cameraman from filming the Palestinian flag in #TelAviv. The protester then accused the cameraman of assault.
