 Israeli bulldozes belonging to Jerusalem Municipality demolished on Tuesday a Palestinian home in the Old City of Jerusalem and attacked two brothers while attempting to evacuate their furniture from the house before the bulldozers leveled it. The house belongs to Zainab Ibrahim Kabaja; the army surrounded the area during early morning hours, and soldiers violently attacked and clubbed Omar Kabaja, 13, and his brother Ali, 20, as they tried to evacuate family belongings and furniture from their home. The two brothers were handcuffed, blindfolded and were dragged on the ground before they were transferred to an Israeli police station where they were detained for several hours. The demolished house was 40 square meters and included one bedroom, one kitchen and one restroom. It provided shelter to Zeinab, her husband and their ten children. Zeinab stated that here home as first demolished in May, 28, 2007, and the family was able to rebuild it through the help of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, but the Israeli authorities decided to level the house once again. The family appealed the demolishing order but the Jerusalem Municipality leveled the house before a final court decision was made. “After I saw my sons being kicked and punched by the soldiers, I became more persistent that we must remain in our land, they are harming us in order to force us leave our lands and properties”, Zeinab stated, “We will live in a tent, we will rebuild, we will never leave our precious land and country”. She voiced an appeal to president Mahmoud Abbas, his prime minister, Dr. Salaam Fayyad, and all Palestinian officials to remain steadfast in negotiations with Israel as the Palestinians in Jerusalem will remain steadfast in spite of the bad conditions and repeated attacks against them.
