The final victim of the Israeli settlement policy has been Nebil Al Kurd and his 13 people family. The family had been residing in their Sheikh Jarrah home since 1956. The emptied homes are given to Jewish settlers.
With the Al Kurd family, the number of relocated Palestinian families by court ruling reached 4.The legal war of the Palestinians started with the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967.
With the Israeli occupation in 1967, the Sephardi Jews organization went to the court cliaming the ownership of the lands in the area since the pre-1948 era.
After long-lasting legal battles the homes were ruled to be brought down due to lack of proper documentation.
Thrown to the street from their homes, Al Kurd family claims the real goal is to make East Jerusalem a Jewish settlement.
Now they are planning to defend their rights in Israeli courts with the help of Palestinian plot titles in Ottoman archives.
