Jerusalem ,,, the forgotten city
All news agencies were very busy in the last two weeks talking about “ALBUSTAN ” and the warning litters that the inhibitants there received to evacuate some 88 buildings which is going to be demolished and a settlers serving garden will be initiated in this area , according to Jerusalem municipality plans ,
what Palestinians living in east Jerusalem has received was talk ,, talk ,, talk
After the attack on Gaza and the large world stand with Gazans formal Arab countries rushed to many summits claiming their support , the latese of them was that summit hhich was held in Sharm -Egypt in which billions of dollars were promised to Gazans,which remind me of that poet who came praising the king , so the king orderd 1000 dinars , (which was very much) so he praised the king for his genourisity the king orderd again another 1000 dinars ,so the poet thanked him and left without taking a penny , the king was asked if he ment his offer ,so he answered ” the poet made us hear some words which made us happy so we acted the same we made him hear some words which made him happy ” and that was the end of the story .
The fact that money is not what is more seriously needed in the Isral-Palestine conflict , this conflict is about land ,and rights , living free , with dignity and honour . It is to let Palestinian live in decent invironment ,to stop harming them phisically ,killing them or leading them to starve , or imprisonment or unsafe free movement ,
All the 88 countries or world organisation had stopped at the part of money ,but as it is said before money is notr the problem of Palestinians
Let us consider the example of Jerusalem , more than 1500 peoples had received orders to evacuate their homes , the place where they live is so close to the walls of the old city and in particular to Aqsa mosque , we should notice also that in this area as well the school class had collapsed just a month ago which was a direct result of a tunnel goes underneath this school , so this happened while there are people living in the area so how about if itr was free of people how many tunnels will be then
Jerusalem is under a direct attack ,people of Jerusalem said it again and again ,
A conference has to be held for the sake of jerusalewm , methods of supporting Jerusalem people has to be studdied , on the other hand the Israeli plan which is taking place now , ought to be studdied and a confronting strategy ought to take place
Arabs used to mention Spain , in more than one place Ghernata is mentioned and how the Caliph has tears over Andalus , as a result of the internal fight between the different leaders of the Arabs at that timew , but over all and after the loss of Andalus we should remember that Andalus is Spanish ,
Is it too much to call for an Arab summit to help Jerusalem
Talk ,, talk ,, talk ,, is not what is needed
Jerusalem again
Facts
One of the main facts about living in Jerusalem is the cost of living , that is a worry of all people who live in Jerusalem , while a family of four can live almost easy life in the west bank for 3000 shikels (750 $ ) this same family would live an equal life in Jerusalem for 7000 shikels (1750 $ ) , and not so many families in east Jerusalem can reach that level of income , while in the western side of the city they can reach that income easily , the work opportunities are more open for the Israeli than the Palestinian , add to that the aids that such a family might get from the different social security organizations ,while that is not valiud for Palestinians ,
the house rent in Jerusalem is about 500 $ a month for a moderate house , for a just married couple , while for a family with two kids it might reach 700 $ ,this is for a moderate house with two bedrooms .
in western side of the city things are different ,
1 Social security might help in rent
2 more available houses for people which made the monthly rent less
3 Subsedized government loans to buy flats for young couples
4 the working wife is more common in western side than between Palestinians .
Is that a failure in Palestinian man function or liability ? the answer is certainly no , but the inputs for each of the two mentioned is different , for instance , in the time that item three works for both sides as equal ,but houses or flats that an inhibitant would buy are different in catagory , while every new flat for Israeli is approved to have a loan in order to buy it, nothing of such is on the Palestinian side , the number of approved flats may get to 10 % of total , so a person might run for cash money , companies in west jerusalem have the licence (permittion ) to build flats is as easy , but in east Jerusalem is as difficult
on the hand girls went to work , an ordinary girl in east Jerusalem might get a job for 1500-2000 shikels per a month , it will come when they have their first kid they might pay for him in a kindergarden an amount which would make the wages of the month does not worth the difference
where that might leed ? all leed to the direct open way to live where he can live with 3000 shikels
Is there a way out of this? yes sure there is a way
would you think of a way ?
