Petition to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken
and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

Demand an end to Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians
from East Jerusalem

Thousands of Palestinians from neighborhoods in Jerusalem are facing threat of forced
displacement and home demolitions by Israeli authorities. Children make up a large
percentage of these families threatened with homelessness.

In some neighborhoods, settler organizations want to evict families
that have lived here for generations and take over their homes.
Other neighborhoods of East Jerusalem are facing destruction of their homes
for the creation of a 'King David Park' tourist site.

This is part of Israel's larger plan of racist colonial expansion throughout East Jerusalem
and the West Bank, forcibly displacing Palestinian families from their land and homes and
replacing them with illegal Israeli settlements.

Two of the primary settler organizations driving these evictions,
Nahalat Shimon International and Ateret Cohanim, are registered in the United States,
from where they receive the majority of their funding.
The latter group has tax-deductible charitable status in the U.S.

“What we are witnessing in Sheikh Jarrah is Israel's attempt to erase the Palestinian
presence from our native city in real time,” says Mohammed El-Kurd,
whose family is among those threatened with expulsion.
“This fate of dispossession looms over much of my neighborhood.
Our lives are consumed by the anxiety of living on the brink of homelessness.”
