There is a lot of hypocrisy around Sheikh Jarrah, and here is only one small example.
The New York Times reports:
Israeli police evicted two Palestinian families from their homes on Wednesday to make way for a new school in Sheikh Jarrah...Israeli officials said the expropriation and evictions were necessary to make way for building a school for Jewish and Arab students with learning difficulties.But the Salhiye family and rights campaigners said the eviction was part of a more general attempt to force Palestinians from East Jerusalem, and questioned why the school could not have been built on nearby land designated for a Jewish seminary.“They are definitely trying to Judaize the neighborhood,” said Lital Salhiye, 43, an Israeli who married into the Salhiye family in 1998.
Yes, Lital is Jewish, born in Rishon LeTzion. She must have married Mahmoud when she was around 19.
So hasn't Lital been "Judaizing" Sheikh Jarrah for 24 years?
I cannot see any article saying she converted to Islam. Yet she covers her hair with what looks like a ski cap while obviously not being a religious Jew. Which means that she is the perfect dhimmi, submitting to the demands of her Muslim community who would be offended by the sight of her hair even though Jewish women have no obligation under Muslim law to cover their own hair.
Which means that Lital isn't "Judaizing" Sheikh Jarrah because she adds nothing Jewish to the neighborhood.
Only Jews who act as proud Jews are guilty of the terrible crime of Judaizing.
And Lital hates that!
Lital's home being demolished also disproves that Israel is only going after Arabs and Muslims. Is she being ethnically cleansed if she is ethnically Jewish?
