Israel Forces Man, His Son to Tear Down Their Homes

CROSSFIREARABIA – The Israeli Municipality in occupied Jerusalem forces, Wednesday night, a Palestinian man and his son to demolish their homes in Silwan which lies to the west of the Al Aqsa Mosque. Ahmad Noman Al Abbasi and his son, Zeid in the Sweih neigbourhood of Silwan were given the order on the alleged grounds that they hadn’t be given license to build their homes. The homes are built on 140 square meters and that the family had already been fined 130,000 shekels by the municipality. The Al Abbasi family started to tear down their homes to avoid paying more hefty fines according to the Palestine Information Center. Zeid was preparing to get married.

CROSSFIREARABIA – This time there is no commentary from Ibrahim Isam like he usually provides

However Maryanne Sanders wrote on his page:

This is a truly real photo Ibrahim. It shows us your daily reality – the tents, the density of people. Where is the personal escape? Maybe the sea. May normality return soon.

Another, Kholoud Hamatto said:

Usually, summer is a time to enjoy the sea and sunshine and create beautiful memories… Yet our people are forced to live in tents on the beach, deprived of the most basic necessities of human life, privacy, and dignity.

How can a place meant for joy and respite become a shelter? Hasn’t the time come for these chapters of our Nakba to end, and for our people to reclaim their right to a safe, dignified, and humane life?

Bernadette Dunn lamented:

At a quick first glance of the Gaza shoreline it almost appears as a type of festive gathering with lots of people and a rainbow of colorful tents.

Once one picks up the phone to see the real picture it becomes all too clear that this scene is anything but festive.

I have no words except to express my sorrow and shame that this is the reality of the lives of Gaza and it’s people today.

I’m sorry you all are living this nightmare while the 🌎 stands by and does nothing.

I’m ashamed to be witness to this. I’m ashamed that my country (USA) is so involved in causing and perpetuating the suffering of the Palestinians and the destruction of your homeland.

I pray 🙏🏼 for change to come fast.

I pray that the world’s “leaders” will come to it’s or our senses and STOP this genocide.

A third year of this insane genocide will begin in less than one month as innocent people continue to be slaughtered and what little remains of the infrastructure of Gaza is bombed, burned and bulldozed down.

Dear God 🙏🏼before another funeral or another child dies by a sniper’s bullet before she attends her first day of school make this travesty end. Gaza deserves to live.

Let the healing begin
