On Saturday night, August 29, 2009, at 21:00, a protest vigil and candle-lit parade will take place in the Sheikh Jarrah Neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, to protest the eviction of the Palestinian Hannoun and Gawi families from their homes, which were then taken over by Israeli settlers. The families have since then been living in tents erected outside their occupied homes. Israeli and Palestinian demonstrators will demand to rectify this blatant injustice and return the families to their homes. Among the organizing groups are Rabbis For Human Rights and Gush Shalom and the Committee Against House Demolitions. The eviction of the Sheikh Jarrah families had been sharply condemned by the United States and the European Union.
Transportation: Tel Aviv – 19:50 Arlozorov St. Railway Station (former El Al Terminal) West Jerusalem 20:45 Parking lot, Liberty Bell Park (Gan Ha'Paamon)
In addition, Israeli organizers together with the families decided that every day between 16:00 and 18:00 all are welcome to visit and express solidarity.
