Land, property theft & destruction / Ethnic cleansing Jewish settlers occupy area west of Abu Dis OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC) 25 Sept — A group of Jewish settlers installed a container and tents in an area west of Abu Dis in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday night. Settlers hoisted Israeli flags and danced and reveled to celebrate annexing this area, called Jabal, which is located beyond the separation wall. The Israeli civil administration department had announced confiscation of this area after claiming it as ‘state land’ while in fact hundreds of Palestinian Bedouins live in it, but the Israeli occupation authorities plan to dislocate them and transfer them to other areas. Lawyer Bassam Bahar, who is heading a committee to defend Abu Dis land, described the act in a press release as ‘very serious’. He said that the step aims at confiscating thousands of dunums owned by Abu Dis inhabitants, adding that the new settlement outpost is part of the Judaization scheme of Jerusalem. mondoweiss.net/2013/09/jerusalem-designated-palestinian.html
