The Peace House, Beit HaShalom in Hebrew, is my current focus and priority (after my other obligations of course). The Israeli government has decided to force the residents of Beit HaShalom out of their house and charge them a fine of 15 000 shekel to be paid to the Arab that they had legally bought the building from. I'm not sure how the whole issue started, but from what I know, the Arab that sold the building isn't being straight up with his story on the sale, and has given at least three different accounts to what happened. Apparently he says he changed his mind about the sale or something. Anyway, it sounds ridiculous and I'm sure it is. Now the Supreme court told the 20 or so families of Beit HaShalom that they need to leave and pay a fine of 15 000 shekel to the Arab who owned the building. Despite the fact that the residents gave the Supreme Court video and audio recordings of the purchase, which was very clear and in detail. The Supreme Court said they hadn't come to a decision yet but in the meantime the residents in Beit HaShalom must leave. Does this not seem a bit racist to you? I think it's a bit silly how the rest of the world is accusing Israel of being cruel to the "poor" Palestinians. If only they knew the truth of the filth that goes on here. It's sad and disgusting all at the same time.
Well I'm really tired and falling asleep as I type, so I'm going to try to go to bed now and write more a different time. shabbat shalom!
