Attempting to depict what’s going on in Sheikh Jarrah as being a “real estate dispute” makes these genocidal Zionist parasites look even more shameful and absurd. They are a tribe comprised of thieves; and, what they’re doing in Sheikh Jarrah is the definition of stealing away homes and properties as they’ve been doing all along for the past 73 years within the occupied Palestinian homeland.
