02/08/2009 Israeli occupation police is still continuing its evictions policy and the settlement plans in occupied East Jerusalem brushing aside all the objections of the international community that say that these settlements are illegal.

On Sunday, Israeli occupation police kicked out two Palestinian families from their homes in occupied east Jerusalem after a court rejected an appeal against their eviction.

Large numbers of Israeli police were involved in the operation in Sheikh Jarrah, one of the most sensitive and upmarket Arab neighborhoods closest to the so-called Green Line which separates occupied east and west Jerusalem.

The action, which is to allow Israeli families to set up home in the neighborhood, was condemned by the British consulate in occupied Jerusalem and comes amid international calls for Israel to halt settlement activity on occupied Palestinian land.

The evictions come after Jerusalem city authorities gave permission for the building of about 20 housing units on the site in Sheikh Jarrah, triggering an international outcry.

The British consulate, which is located in Sheikh Jarrah along with other foreign missions, said it was “appalled” by the Israeli action. “The Israelis’ claim that the imposition of extremist Jewish settlers into this ancient Arab neighborhood is a matter for the courts or the municipality is unacceptable,” it said in a statement. “These actions are incompatible with the Israeli professed desire for peace. We urge Israel not to allow the extremists to set the agenda.”



MP Odwan: IOA practices in occupied Jerusalem exceeded all norms

[ 02/08/2009 - 05:33 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas MP Atef Odwan has lashed out at the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) police's forced evacuation of two Jerusalemite homes and kidnapping their owners along with foreign activists after beating them up and knocking down a sit-in tent.

Odwan in a press release on Sunday said that the Israeli governments are accustomed to lying, forgery and seizing Jerusalemite citizens' homes at trivial pretexts without any real legal basis.

He described such practice as highest form of criminality and violation of human rights and all heavenly legislation.

"The Zionist enemy has breached all international norms and human rights," the lawmaker charged.

    Land given to them in 1956. Proper paper of ownership. Internationally recognized. Lovely looking family.

    None of these mean a thing to a people who believes they own everything and can claim it at will because their Talmud tells them so. A people so filled with their own self importance that they believe that any old rabbi can outwit God in discussions.

    We all know when they speak of being g-d's chosen they really mean Lucifer's chosen. Meanwhile some punk ass settlers will move into the lovely home feeling even more superior because they earned it by theft.

    Yanno that vat of excrement they have spoken off so much in their holy books? I am thinking they will all end up there if there is any type of justice on this planet.
