Stop Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians from East Jerusalem

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

End Israel's illegal evictions of Palestinians and demolitions of their homes.

Over 1,500 Palestinians from neighborhoods in Jerusalem are facing threat of forced displacement and home demolitions by Israeli authorities. Recently Israeli courts have ruled in favor of Jewish settlers and given four families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood until May to leave their homes. In the Silwan neighborhoods of Al Bustan and Batin al Hawa, a total of 21 families are facing home demolition as soon as May 11th to make way for an allegedly bible-inspired 'King David Park' tourist site.
