This post is to show that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues to this day. In 1948 it went unobserved by most of the world media. Today, it continues despite of the presence of world media. Add to this the farcical indifference of the world community. If this is acceptable today, then we are bystanders.
TALA QIRESH, THE LITTLE PALESTINIAN GIRL IN THE PICTURES, AND HER FAMILY HAVE BEEN EVICTED FROM THEIR HOME IN OLD JERUSALEM AND DESPITE THE LAWYER’S INTERVENTION, THE SOLDIERS REFUSE THEM ENTRY. THE QIRESH FAMILY LIVED IN THAT HOUSE SINCE 1940 WITH 40 OTHER RESIDENTS IN 20 ROOMS.
PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS:
- Little Tala infront of her house from which she was evicted with her family as Israeli soldiers look on.
- Israeli soldiers display the V for Victory-sign
- Israeli soldiers refuse to carry out the Court Order to allow the Qiresh family to return to their home

Looking at these photos, my heart goes out to the Palestinian people, that beautiful child and her family. I can feel only disgust at this yet another arrogant, illegal act on the part Israel. I am walking for the Freedom & Justice for Palestine on Saturday with others.
