Not for the first time, Israel continues construction over Muslim cemeteries in what is derided as a purge of Palestinian heritage
Tel Aviv’s District Court shut down an appeal by the Jaffa Islamic Council on Tuesday, which sought to prevent construction of a homeless shelter on the 200-year old Al-Isaaf Muslim cemetery.
“There’s plenty of space in Jaffa. They are specifically targeting sites of heritage, and they’re using special forces to crack down on protesters. Over 17 people were arrested for trying to stop the digging. They’re offering to let us keep the bones,” says Malouh.“This is only part of a larger strategy of discrimination seen in every part of our lives. Employment, security, courts, housing and media.
The injunction has since been overturned, while the Jaffa Islamic Council was ordered to pay the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality and Tel Aviv Foundations nearly $2,200 each.
