SAVE SHEIKH JARRAH
Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah are families who were expelled by Zionist militias from Arab towns and cities which became part of Israel following the 1948 war.
Since Israel seized East Jerusalem in the 1967 war, Israeli settler organisations have claimed ownership of the land in Sheikh Jarrah and have filed multiple successful lawsuits to evict Palestinians from the neighbourhood since 1972.
In 2002, 43 Palestinians were evicted from the area and Israeli settlers took over their properties. In 2008, the Hanoun and Ghawi families were evicted and in 2017 the Shamasneh family was removed from their home by Israeli settlers. Last month, Israel’s Supreme Court ordered that the Iskafi, Kurd, Jaouni and Qasim families - consisting of 30 adults and 10 children - evacuate their homes by 6 May. The court gave the Hammad, Dagani and Daoudi families living in the same area until 1 August to evacuate. Back in December, the EU issued a statement opposing Israel’s plan to “put all families at imminent risk of forced transfer
In my project, I've used the iconic photo of Haj. Nabil Al-Kurd, standing next to his own wall, "We are not leaving" written on it.
