Jerusalem District Court Devises Reality TV Concept

"...now authorities are expected to force the Hamdallahs to evacuate a room and their yard to make way for Israelis..." - Ha'aretz

The Hamdallahs family Special thanks to: Pulse Media

(ISTANBUL) - An article in today’s Haaretz, entitled ”Palestinian family ordered to share East Jerusalem home with Israelis“, begins:

"Right-wing Israelis are expected to move into a room in an East Jerusalem Palestinian family’s home on Monday, after a court sided with their claim.

"The Hamdallah family and American millionaire and settler patron Irving Moskowitz have been fighting an 11-year court battle over the home. Now, authorities are expected to force the Hamdallahs to evacuate a room and their yard to make way for Israelis, who are likely to encumber their neighbors’ day-to-day routine."

The likeliness of the neighborly encumbering increases in the next paragraph:

"The yard leads to the home’s entrance."

Sixteen Palestinians live in the home, but only three reportedly live in the bedroom that the court has ordered vacated.
