House Evictions in East Jerusalem

[Micah Schuurman]

This video is worth watching. The Palestinians build houses illegally because it is almost impossible for them to get building permits. They build anyways (sometimes it is only an addition to their existing house) and then get evicted. In such cases, either the house gets bulldozed or Jewish Settlers move into the house.
This is one of the clearest examples of racism in the state of Israel. It amounts to ethnic cleansing. I'm sorry to use a phrase that often gets misused. But there simply isn't any other way to describe this systematic process of forcing Palestinians out of East Jerusalem and replacing them with ultra-Orthodox Jews.
