BEIT HANINA, JERUSALEM - HOUSE DEMOLITION

[idontwantaname]

ICAHD VOLUNTEERS DRAGGED FROM HOUSE;
DEMOLITION PROCEEDED

BEIT HANINA, JERUSALEM-Israeli and international volunteers occupied the
one-room house of Muhammed Shabani in order to prevent its demolition by
the municipality of Jerusalem accompanied by over forty Israeli police.
The volunteers were asked to leave, but several ICAHD staff members and
volunteers refused and were dragged out of the house by force. A
Caterpillar construction crane then demolished the house in three minutes.

Muhammed Shabani, his wife, his eight children and his grandmother lived
in this house for a year and half before demolition. The last order was
delivered on November 24, 2004, citing a lack of permit because the
family's land is zoned “open green space” by the city master plan. The
family spent an estimated $15,000 in court fees until the High Court
issued a ruling supporting the demolition.

After the demolition, Ari King, a representative of the National Unity
political party, arrived to verify the house was demolished. The
National Unity party states in their platform that Arabs should be
expelled and transferred in favor of Jewish settlements. The party seeks
to expand the settlement of Pizgat Ze'ev, just 200 meters over the hill
from the Shabani family, and actively pressures the Jerusalem
Municipality to demolish houses in areas of interest.
