Fifty years ago, Abu Kishk's family lived on the outskirts of the city of Lod, east of Jaffa, after her grandfather came to work in citrus groves that were later eaten by modern architecture.
Over the past decades, the family gave birth to children and grandchildren and today it has 90 members. However, the so-called "Israel Land Administration" claimed that the family had been assessed in a property that had no legal claim to evict it.
Today, the Abu Kishk family has been living through difficult times since an Israeli court issued a decision to evacuate all its members.
The Abu Kishk family is a model of the racial discrimination Palestinians face in the cities where they live with the Israelis.
"All the time we are threatened, we have a bad situation, we live in great and small terror, our children do not sleep at night," says Amal Abu Kishk.
Perhaps children are the truest of those who express the extent of the pain and the feelings of loss. "We feel sad, where can we sleep, I mean under the trees," says Lin Abu Kishk.
The family fought a 10-year legal struggle, but the courts did not do justice to it and the Israeli authorities offered no alternatives to guarantee the most basic elements of a decent life.
"It is targeting the Arab center and the Palestinian presence and taking these lands under all names, each circle has a name, but the basic targeting is our existence," explains Ibrahim Badawi, a member of the Popular Committee.
In Lod, some 27,000 Palestinians face policies of closure and demolition on the one hand, and on the other face a situation they describe as racist that prevents them from integrating into Jewish neighborhoods that are prohibited from buying their apartments.
This is the case of Palestinians in cities mixed with Israelis. They suffer discrimination from the central authority that sets public policies, and from the local authority, which restricts their livelihood and keeps them in constant preoccupation with defending their existence and survival.
