The report below points up that the adverse prejudicial treatment which is meted out in cases of illegal buildings by both the Israeli government and “justice system” is based TOTALLY on religion, i.e. the Jewishness of the residents. This author has difficulty recalling any citings of destruction of illegal Arab buildings. It seems obvious that such citings are few, miniscule and far-between. MB
Jews Battling Eviction From Eastern Jerusalem Homes
Full Text;
Eight Jewish families may be evicted from their homes in eastern Jerusalem according to a court order. They have been charged with dwelling in a house built without government permission in 2004. It was erected by an Arab contractor for the Ateret Cohanim organization, which attempts to return a Jewish presence to Arab-controlled parts of Jerusalem. If the Jewish residents are expelled from the seven-story building, it will be the first such expulsion of Jews from eastern Jerusalem. The building is located in the Silwan neighborhood, on land that was inhabited by Yemenite Jews until the 1930s.
