Evicted because they are not Jewish?

clevenson, i suppose you're referring to this yahoo news story … Palestinians briefly evicted from Jerusalem home?

if you've bothered to read the article, you'll know that …

… the settlers purchased the house from the grandchildren of Handal in 1987.
"If they bought the house, that's fine. Congratulations. But I have rights here. They can make me pay them rent but they cannot force me out," Qarsh said.

the issue seems to be whether the security of tenure laws apply to this tenancy

The eviction came after a long legal battle between the Qarsh family and settlers who say they bought the building from its owners, another Palestinian family who emigrated to the United States decades ago.
An Israeli court later ordered the settlers to leave and said it would consider the case next week, according to the lawyer.

this is a fairly straight forward landlord-and-tenant case … if the court evicts them next week, the decision will have nothing to do with race

and of course, israel's "undivided" jerusalem policy envisages an undivided jerusalem for jews christians and muslims

Israel is a modern country of 7 million people. Like in the UK or any other country people get evicted all the time. Being evicted from one's home is never a nice thing to happen, regardless of whether you're white, black, Jewish, Muslim, whatever.

The difference is that it only gets reported in the media if it happens to a Muslim Arab in Israel.

Funny that evictions in Britain never make the news isn't it? Whole villages have been "cleansed" over the years to make way for airports, shopping centres, retail parks, you name it.
