🚨 On Wednesday, Israeli settlers seized the home of the Palestinian Basha family in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City after Israeli courts ordered their eviction. The family, which consists of six households, most of whom are elderly, have lived in the building since the 1930s. Their eviction followed legal proceedings initiated by the General Custodian, a governmental body within the Israeli Ministry of Justice. In a video circulating online, Rabbi Avishai Zruya, head of the Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim settler organization, is seen leading settlers in a prayer and affixing to the building’s entrance a mezuzah—a Jewish ritual object traditionally placed on a doorpost, symbolically marking the newly seized building as a Jewish space. He declares: “Today, on the eve of Tisha B’Av… we come here with dignity and splendor, in the fullness of our Jewishness and faith.” Tisha B’Av is a Jewish day of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples. Ateret Yerushalayim is closely connected to the Ateret Cohanim settler organization, which plays a central role in the forced eviction of Palestinians and settler takeover of their homes in the Old City and surrounding Palestinian neighborhoods, including Silwan. This is what settler violence looks like in East Jerusalem: no need for settler pogroms or rampages, instead, discriminatory laws, state institutions, courts, and police are all utilized to forcibly remove Palestinians from their homes and seize them for Jewish settlement—all under the veneer of legality. Israeli law allows Jews to reclaim property allegedly owned before 1948, while denying Palestinians the same right to recover property they lost in West Jerusalem and elsewhere.
