Israel is demolishing Silwan as we speak. Over 1500 people, most of who are children will be homeless in a city ruled by people that don’t allow them to rebuild anywhere. They’re making almost 900 children refugees.
There are 40 bulldozers in Silwan and heavy presence of the IOF.
They started with a butchery and arrested the owner of the shop and his two sons during the demolition. Here’s a video of the IOF brutalizing the Al Rajabi family, owner of the shop.
Keep in mind this proccess might be long, and they might start with shops instead of houses to wait until the media has moved on. That’s 1 out of 17 homes ethnically cleansed.
The IOF is throwing tear gas at the residents so they leave their homes. 13 were injured. While all this happens, the IOF is posting about their delegation arriving to help with the searches in Miami. I have no words to say how hypocrital and how angry that makes me.
There are palestinians right now live blogging their ethnic cleasing, their city being run down and the residents driven out so there’s no cultural trace of them, so they can pretend Palestinians never existed there. It’s brutal to think these people survived one ethnic cleasing in 1948 and they thought they’d be safe in their new homes, only to be invaded and be ethnically cleansed again years later.
It’s a choice to be ignorant right now because several Palestinians in Jerusalem are being brutalized and traumatized to show you this. The best we can do is clog the zionist propaganda so they can’t pretend they’re not destroying homes, as they always do. I don’t want a single zionist to have peace on social media today, and that counts for everything on the BDS list (Ben and Jerry hasn’t used social media in over a month because people were commenting about their settlements and the boycott was stronger than ever, that’s the energy).
Ask for people to speak because zionists are too comfortable, look what they did to Indya Moore just yesterday. They want palestinians to be quiet victims with no one speaking for them
[Id: tweet by Mohammed El-Kurd reading “I want to see protests in every damn city in the world against the ethnic cleasing of Palestinians in Jerusalem / end id]
Here’s a constantly updating list of protests around the world. Show your anger and don’t look away, not now and not in one month but until Palestinians can return home in peace.
