"Papa, where do we want to live after such a thing, and where do we want to play when our house is destroyed?" And obtains (four years), he has to ask many questions, which did not stop for a single day, about the fate of their presence in their home, which has embraced them since the cradle.
At night, the two sibling children’s fears increase even more, and with them their questions abound, which can only be answered with a question mark, as they refuse to sleep, addressing their father with infinite innocence: “We do not want to sleep for fear that the occupation bulldozers will come and demolish the house over our heads.” “Papa, is the occupation really going to demolish our house and we will be on the street?
After that, where will you and Mama and Grandpa and Grandmother go?!”
These statements, which come out of innocent little mouths, carry dangerous connotations, which would increase the amount of fear and suffering within the soul of their father, Iyad, whose family of 10 faces the threat of displacement and displacement at any moment.
first victim
Al-Maqdisi Iyad al-Ghouj, 27, told Emirates Today, "The children of Jerusalem are the first and biggest victim of the arbitrary policy of occupation against the Jerusalemites. With great oppression and grief.”
He added, "Since I received the demolition order, in early November, Emad and Yanal sat at the door of our apartment in the residential building, while the expressions of sadness crossed their innocent childish faces, as soon as they learned of the demolition decision."
Al-Ghouj continues, saying, “They did not stop asking me, my parents, and my wife the seriousness of the demolition order. Will the occupation bulldozers really demolish our house, and we will be homeless?
Where will they play and sleep after that?!
In fact, these questions complicate our suffering, as we are unable to answer the questions of the two young children, and only say to them: God willing, we will remain in our house, and it will never be demolished.
ghost of displacement
On Thursday morning, November 4, the Israeli municipality handed over 10 Jerusalemite families decisions to vacate the homes of the residential building that belongs to them, in the Al-Sahel area in the town of Al-Tur, east of Jerusalem, under the pretext of building without a permit. The occupation court gave the ten families until the end of this month, to demolish them Forcibly by himself, in return for paying 200,000 shekels into the court fund.
Thus, Imad and Naal al-Ghouj are added to the 35 Jerusalemite children living in the al-Tur building, which is facing an Israeli decision threatening to demolish it and level it to the land, so that the specter of displacement haunts these children and their families at any time.
The Jerusalemite al-Ghouj indicates that he lives with his parents, brothers, wife and two children in an apartment inside the five-storey residential building, which includes 10 apartments, which will deprive the building’s 70 residents, half of whom are children, of their only shelter in which they live. Since 2011.
He added, "Many beautiful memories I spent with my family, my wife and my children over the course of 10 years, inside our house in the residential building that is threatened with demolition, all of them will become scattered for nothing, and scattered with the dust of rubble and stones of our building as a result of its demolition."
He says, "We do not own a house other than the one in which I, my family and my small family live, and in all honesty, the fate of 10 people, and all residents of our residential building, will be the side of the road, after the demolition of our only shelter."
severe dilemma
After the ten Jerusalemite families received decisions to demolish their homes, they filed a petition with the occupation court, objecting to the decision of the occupation municipality against their only shelter. On November 11, the court postponed the decision to demolish the residential building in the town of Al-Tur, east of occupied Jerusalem, for a month.
Palestinian lawyer, Medhat Diba, one of the lawyers entrusted with defending the residents of the Al-Tur building, said that “the ten families who received decisions to demolish their homes in the residential building approached us, in order to submit a petition to the Occupation Municipal Affairs Court in the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, to object to the demolition orders against Their only shelter, and we postponed it, and we were able to do that for a month, with the possibility of obtaining other extensions.”
He points out that the Occupation Municipal Court, based on the urgent precautionary request submitted to it by the Palestinian legal team, postponed the decision to demolish the residential building in the Jerusalem plain of Al-Tur, until the ninth of next December.
Lawyer Diba explains that the dilemma faced by the Jerusalemites in the east of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, and the town of Al-Tur is one of them, is that the occupation municipality in the Holy City follows an arbitrary policy against them, as it does not allow them to grant them any building permits.
He added that "the Jerusalemite families, including residents of the Al-Tur residential building, submitted dozens of engineering plans, in order to obtain building permits, but soon the occupation municipality in the Holy City notified them of a new demolition decision for their homes."
