The international community should put pressure on the Israeli occupation to stop the displacement, settlement and colonial policies in Sheikh Jarrah and all other neighborhoods of occupied Jerusalem, such as Batn el Hawa neighborhood in Silwan
“If they seize our homes in Sheikh Jarrah, they will continue to seize homes in the entire Jerusalem neighborhoods, until no Palestinian house remains in Jerusalem,” said Muna al-Kurd – a Palestinian citizen of Sheikh Jarrah.
Palestinian and Pro-Palestinian activists launch a Twitter campaign on Monday against the Israeli ethnic cleansing in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

Hundreds of Palestinians living in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood in Jerusalem, are currently at risk of being forcefully evicted from their homes by the Israeli government. Settlers will move into these homes furthering Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. #SaveSheikhJarrah pic.twitter.com/o93O7dQykB
