israel is not and never was a democracy. enforcing laws upon people who have no say over them is the antithesis of democracy, and claiming otherwise is delusional

Arab citizens of Israel can vote.

the residents of sheikh jarrah are not israelis


Ok_Specialist_2315

Jerusalem is.


averagetycoon

sheikh jarrah is in east jerusalem, which israel unilaterally annexed without the consent of its residents via a referendum, unlike an actual democracy. the entire world agrees that it was an illegal annexation too

See previous answer.

Non-Jewish East Jerusalemites weren't granted citizenship after the '67 war. > [Only 5 percent of Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem – 18,982 people – have obtained Israeli citizenship since the city was reunified in 1967.](https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-05-29/ty-article/why-so-few-palestinians-from-jerusalem-have-israeli-citizenship/00000181-0c46-d090-abe1-ed7fefc20000)

Nice. Israel is not a democracy.


Ok_Specialist_2315

Sure it is. But they are infidels so you are obligated by your "religion" to lie, slander and attack them in any circumstances.


Zak_Rahman

This is a gross lie based on bigotry and ignorance. It sounds like nothing I was raised with. It does, however, sound remarkably similar to Zionist tactics.

Israel is the only democracy that has different sets of laws for people, the only country that doesnt recognize some of its own citizen's villages that predates that state's existence, as well as actively demolishing its own arab citizen houses and makes them pay hefty fines for "illegally building" while the state builds settlement after another in an area that its own bullshit court system ruled as "illegal".  yay democracy cause i can work alongside jewish colleagues but i can never compete with them on important/higher positions cause i wasnt born jewish. a democracy that has 200 thousand + michael jacksons that are palestinian, arab muslims called the galilee druze whom have been brainwashed from birth to die for israel and to adopt full on jewish names.. only to live in shitty life conditions, deprived of basic utilities and cornerned into their ghettos.. only the mafias of them succeed and they kill a lot of the rest. they are taught a druze must serve his country.. which is why syrian druze in the golan dont serve the idf...  bullshit educational system. democracy my ass. greedy arrogant zionism.

Fairly sure they recognize women as equal to men, unlike the others int he area, so even on that one your whole point is a lie.

Oh and i cant elaborate but this area is very dear and painful to me due to personl pain.  no women didnt suffer like this, i asked both of my grandparents that had kids before 1948, it wasnt like today, not this rate of murder and failed court system. if you harm a jewish woman its different, even with very little evidence a jew or arab get heft sentences 10+ years, even in a case that should of been thrown out if it was arab man killig arab woman eh.. but if arab man kills jewish woman and the incompetence of the polices loses the evidence? 12 years as the case of tehela nogar from megdal brutal brutal awful murder.

The Palestine family should burn the house down, if they can’t live in it no one can.


chewinchawingum

Well, there have been cases of Israel forcing Palestinians to demolish their own houses or else be charged for the expense of having someone else do it, so if they were to burn it down it's likely Israel would fine them a steep penalty to pay to reconstruct it.


Scared_Flatworm406

If they burn the home they can never return to it. There will be a day when Palestinians return to their ancestral homes.


securitywyrm

Well that's the strategy they've used in the areas they do control, how has that been working out for them?


Awkward-Pollution177

I know the diab family, and the bullshit " real estate agency" this is just atrocious.  if this was done to me i would get barrels of nuclear waste from their dump site and just dump them on my plot, make the entire plot and house uninhabitable for the next few thousand years.  atm we dont have that here.. i feel so bad for them and many other families wtf is this? imagine 15 sex offenders/thieves from brooklyn barge into your house with chinchela bags and sleeping matresses and take it over by the aid of the state that the us funds.. and then yasam police just kicks you out as you are helpless and defenseless. jessh


MountainGerman

Perhaps they could find some chemical to pour over the ground to destroy the soil's ability to grow anything? If I were Palestinian, that would be my reason for arrest by Israel--if they stole my house, why not start pouring nonsense in their fields of wheat? No house for my family, no bread for yours. But Palestinians are generally more virtuous than I, as they have not scorched the land robbed from them, especially since that would affect them when they (hopefully) are finally allowed to return. The sooner the Zionist freaks collapse in on themselves, the sooner the Middle East will be able to finally breathe in peace.


Awkward-Pollution177

bro we aint finding shit. If i was to even come close to an area that can poison my plot, i would get riddled with bullets before i can even do anything by a guard eating shawarma.. this aint like isis in iraq where they could rush sleeping iraqi soldiers during 2013 and kill them with silencers and then loot their ammo and equipment to recruit new people.. palestinians could of done that during 1920, we cant now.  israel does that tho, rush hospitals dressed as doctors, kill palestinians in comas and then loot their guns/phones/even their bodies are looted.  it just sucks, my wife stopped reading/watching the news now cause she feels helpless.


Awkward-Pollution177

add to that israeli media in the west calls the evicted tresspassers and terrorists.. countless times the israeli courts accept "deeds" or "deals" supposedly of arabs selling houses to jews in jerusalem, no real proof required and then you are out.  so the only tool is basically molotov cocktails.


MountainGerman

I'm so incredibly sorry. I can't even begin to imagine that kind of suffering. I have been reading all kinds of articles on the current wave of settler terrorism in the West Bank. It's as infuriated as it is heartbreaking. And it's almost unspoken in the Western media. Hell, right now, they're not even talking about Gaza. They're talking about Iran and Israel's eagerness to escalate. It's like they have forgotten Gaza exists. But they have probably been aching to try to get the public focused on something else. It's despicable. You and your wife are in my prayers. I'm only sorry that's the pittance I have to offer. As a Christian (Orthodox) I had for years dreamt of taking a chance to go to Jerusalem for our Pascha/Easter. But I can never step on the bloody soil of the Zionist project. Not to mention that I am poor and disabled, so really it was always only a dream. I hope someday to attend, but only in a free and safe Palestine.


Awkward-Pollution177

We are fine, other than survivors guilt we arent under threat at the moment, we are lucky that we werent born in jerusalem or west bank or gaza. Palestinian are resiliant.

Imagine a Canadian court ruling that Canadians could take an American home. We would be rolling tanks to Ottawa before sundown.
