See Jerusalem through Palestinian eyes
Israeli security forces on Monday evicted members of an extended Palestinian family from their homes in the Silwan neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem and handed the building over to Ateret Cohanim, a Jewish religious organization that buys properties for settlement in the Old City. Members of the family, the Abu Nabs, have been fighting to keep their homes since 2002, when Ateret Cohanim filed a lawsuit claiming that the building sits on a land that was once a Jewish synagogue.
