The property belongs to Ashraf Wazwaz who built it two years ago using stone and metal slabs on a 40msq piece of land. The stable accommodates four horses. The demolition order was hanged on the stable only one day before the date of demolition stated in the order! At 7a.m., a massive force of the Israeli police riding a bulldozer broke into the neighborhood where they brought the stable down and ravaged a 100m long retaining wall surrounding the property.

  • Israel (Includes West Bank and Gaza) 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL (INCLUDES WEST BANK AND GAZA) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.

  • Al-Quds Book
    JERUSALEMJERUSALEM The issue of Jerusalem have constituted, both in the far and near past, a basic pivot in determining the future and realities of the surrounding region. The POPULATION & URBANIZATION special importance of conducting a study on the Jerusalem issue rises from the current attempts to define the future of the region in the context of the ongoing political process and the accompanying conflicts, which are in some cases bloody and in other cases peaceful. Because of the importance of Jerusalem for both the Arab Palestinian side and the Zionist Jewish side, the From 1850 - 2000 determination of the future of the region, whether in terms of war or peace, depends on the method in which the issue is dealt with. The Zionist Movement has attempted from the start of its emigration to Palestine to impose new realities in order to decide the issue of Jerusalem for its benefit. The attempts were not restricted to physical realities, but included the creation of an impression and conviction through media and lots of books and publications that worked on forging the past and present history of the city, thus concealing the reality and truth behind a curtain of false propaganda and history forging. Thus, this contribution from the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center came to highlight the events that took place during the historical epoch between 1850 and 2000. We do hope that we can succeed in raising discussion over this issue and highlight the facts and truth and encourage others inside Palestine and abroad to contribute in this discussion and enrich this attempt towards reinforcing a conviction that any solution that does not guarantee the historical, political, national and religious rights of the Arab Palestinian people in Jerusalem will never be a just, comprehensive and permanent solution.

  • Sermon Palm Sunday 2019
    SERMON PALM SUNDAY April 14, 2019 The Reverend Dr. Phebe L. McPherson On this day Jesus entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life. (Book of Common Prayer p. 271). Oh! What a Beautiful City Refrain: Oh! what a beautiful city, Oh! what a beautiful city Oh! what a beautiful city, Twelve gates-a to the city, Hallelujah! 1- There’s three gates in-a the East,—three gates in-a the West; — Three gates in-a the North, and three gates in-a the South, making it twelve gates-a to the city, a Hallelujah. 2 - O, my Lord built-a that day— that was just a fore square; — wanted all-a you sinners to meet Him in-a the air, ‘cause He built twelve gates-a to the city, a-Hallelujah. (Traditional Spiritual) Whether or not your life is a success or a failure, depends on your purpose and goal. O, what a beautiful city! O, what a beautiful city! Jerusalem! The city on a hill. Where once King David established a capitol and reigned—uniting the northern and southern kingdoms. In the center of the city stands the Temple. Where the Ark of the Covenant rests. Here, God is present with God’s people.

In 1969, an Australian Christian Zionist, Dennis Rohan, even set Al-Aqsa (Al-Qibli) Mosque on fire, completely destroying large parts of it, including its Ayoubi-era pulpit.2 Historically the entire holy compound is a Muslim Waqf and Jewish law prohibits Jews from entering it, but “visits” by Jewish extremists under armed Israeli guard (while Palestinians are denied access) have escalat- ed over the last decade and undeniably added a religious dimension to a predominantly political conflict.
