New evictions of Arab families part of battle for Jerusalem

[Seastallion]

From the op, as evidently some of our esteemed members didn't even read it.

Yemenite Jewish families — at one point as many as 144 — lived in the area for about half a century, starting in the 1880s, said Luria. Their numbers gradually dwindled and the last 35 families were driven out during an Arab uprising against British rule and Jewish immigration.

Part of the Yemenite village was established on land bought for the community by Jewish philanthropists, Luria said. Communal property, including a synagogue, was run by what was known as the Benvenisti Trust.

Israeli courts have ruled that the building from which the Abu Nabs were evicted — the synagogue, according to Luria — belonged to the trust.

So the Yemeni Jews and their descendants were ruled to have legal ownership on account of them being driven out by Palestinian violence, which has seldom stopped in a century. The courts have ruled in the past in favour of Palestinian claims, when they do no acknowledgment is made by Israel demonizers that this is a sign of a functioning democracy, but when courts rule the other way they scream apartheid.

How very telling.

Try comprehending the quote you supplied.

The Yemenites lived there for only 50 years. A very brief time. Only 35 families were driven out after that 50 year time, in 1930's. How many hundreds of Palestinian Arab families have since been driven out? After how many generations of living there?

And, pertinently, what brought those families to Jerusalem in 1880?

And that is just Jerusalem.
