***
The Israeli government has recently announced plans to demolish 90 homes in Arab-East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. If the Israeli government succeeds in destroying these homes it will be one of the largest land grabs since Israel illegally occupied Arab east Jerusalem in 1967. Please stop this blatant attempt to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Jerusalem.
***
I remind you that UN Resolution 252 calls on Israel to rescind all measures that change the legal status of Jerusalem, including the expropriation of land and properties thereon and that Israel stop taking measures to unify Jerusalem as the ?Jewish capital?. The current plan to demolish homes in East Jerusalem proves that Israel is not serious about making peace with the Palestinians and that the Israelis do not expect to ever be held accountable for their actions by Washington.
****
It is distressing to me that not a single American politician has the courage to publicly condemn this plan which will thousands more refugees in the occupied territories when even Israeli-Jewish members of the Knesset are outraged by this plan, MK Roman Bronfman (of the Yahad party) wrote to Jerusalem City Engineer Uri Sheetrit, who signed the letter ordering the demolitions, urging him to cancel his decision., saying: "This is an ethnic cleansing and large-scale deportation that boggles the mind, such a plan can lead to a huge explosion, which the Jerusalem municipality, and you particularly, would be held accountable for."
****
The Palestinians have been fulfilling their obligations to reform and stop resistance attacks against the occupation forces. Israel is doing everything under its power to stop peace from advancing. What will you do to help give peace a chance?
