Uprooting 1,000 Palestinians from Jerusalem (Al-Quds)
"Israel" Repeats its Old Claims
by Amjad Samhan (Ramallah)


Translated By Adib S. Kawar

One hundred Palestinian Arab families from Assalam (Peace) outskirt of occupied Al-Quds received evacuation orders, and were "given" 14 days to evacuate their homes. The occupation authority claimed that the houses are built on land owned by the heirs of a dead Jewish woman called Rachel Filibine.
Eyewitnesses said that tens of policemen, members of what is called border guards officers and intelligence men, stormed into the resident's apartments and handed them evacuation orders signed by the lawyer of the heirs of Rachel, which said that they have evidence that 80% of the land on which buildings are built on is owned by the heirs. If the orders of evacuation are executed, about a thousand Palestinian Arabs shall be homeless.

It is not known what will be the fate of the Arab buildings that the order demand's its evacuation, butthe officer in charge of Al-Quds file, Muhammad Abed Rabo, pointed out that the case could be solved by changing the owners to tenants, which is not likely to be allowed, because the aim of the attack is to uproot Al-Quds Arabs fully from their capital. The second possibility is to immediately uproot the Jerusalemite Arabs, and demolish their buildings to be replaced by a Zionist colony, "especially that the occupation authorities and extremist religious Zionists groups support the second choice. The presence of the Arab homes stands in the way of completing the connection of the colonies surrounding Al-Quds, namely Bazjat, Zaif, Maali Adomin, the French Hill and Nave Yacoub with the city". Abed Rabo said, "This plan aims at completing the big project known as 'Greater Jewish Jerusalem', complete the Judaization of Al-Quds, and isolate its Arab, and strengthen the control on if not suffocation Arab Jerusalemites". He added that "80% of the project had already been fulfilled".

One of the Palestinian Arab inhabitants, Nidal Aiash that received an evacuation order said, "The moment I received the evacuation order, I almost wept… Where shall I go with my family, I am ready to pay any amount they ask for; so as I don't leave this place ... my house and city".

Abu Aiash, a father of two said, "I paid US$60,000 to buy this apartment, and I never thought that all what I saved in my life is going to be lost for nothing, just like this… We have a lawyer who will follow our just case". He pointed out that the evacuation orders were not accompanied by a court order, but to have all of these forces that accompanied the Zionist lawyer proves that the matter is well 'precooked'".

Another tenant, Mahmoud Sarandah, told Assafir newspaper that he also received a copy of the order and said, "What proves my ownership of the land is that I bought it from well known people. We shall raise a court case to prove that we own the land, and if they have any thing to prove the contrary let them present it to the court

The owner of the project, Abdullah Azziz Al-Qam, told Assafir that he has what proves his ownership of the land, which he bought from well known people. We shall raise a case to the court to prove what we say, and if they have any thing to prove the contrary they are welcome to do so. I believe that they shall not be able to evacuate us from our homes, all what they aim at is to put pressure on us to terrorize and disturb us. He added that I am executing big building projects in Al-Quds for nationalistic purposes, I sell the apartments for symbolic prices for the purpose of keeping my people from leaving their Al-Quds."

It ought to be pointed out that just before this new Zionist project was declared, the occupation authorities confiscated Palestinian Arab owned homes in occupied Al-Quds, claiming that the land on which they are built is owned by "Israelis". In sheikh Jarrah in occupied Al- Quds, the owners were changed to renters, when a colonizing group "proved" that the land is government owned, as if such any occupation authority sits and wait for somebody to prove its ownership of a certain property!!!
