Homeless in East Jerusalem

Homeless in East Jerusalem

On Aug 2nd Israeli police evicted Palestinian families from E. Jerusalem, but could the reverse happen?

On August 2nd, Israeli riot and border police evicted two Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem, claiming the land on which their houses were built belongs to Jews. The court ruling was the result of a Jewish settlers' association claiming there were Jewish inhabitants in the region in the 1930s. The Real News spoke to the evicted families, and to Stephen Lendman, Research Associate at the Center for Research on Globalization about whether the same could happen to Jewish families.
