For all of you who don't know about it, Sheikh Jarrah is a neighbourhood in east Jerusalem, there used to be about 50 Arab families living there, until the some Jewish settlers showed out of the blue claiming they owned the houses in the neighbourhood before the 1948 war.

The Jews went to court and the Supreme Court of Israel ruled for the Jews, and the government started evicting Arabs from the homes they lived in for many years and replacing them with the Jewish settlers, and the Jewish settlers started attacking the people, making false accusations about the Arabs of harrasment. All that while the Jewish settlers harras the people, by putting songs praising Jewish terrorists like Baruch Goldstein, who killed 39 Arabs in Hebron whie they were praying, and doing carnivals in the middle of the street with police protection.


The only people currently standing against them are Israeli leftists, Communist Party of Israel, Foreigners, and locals.

Every Friday around 400 activists rally against occupying Sheikh Jarrah, and get called by Jewish settlers NAZIS.

I will keep you updated about every rally.
