Palestinian re-erect tents at Bab Al Karama
by Maan News: 25 January 2013
JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Dozens of
Palestinian activists entered a demolished protest village in
northwest Jerusalem on Friday, starting to rebuild the al-Karamah
(Dignity) encampment.
The tent village was established last
Friday to protest Israel's land confiscation and settlement building
in the area of Beit Iksa.
On Monday, Israeli troops demolished
all the tents and evacuated all the activists in the camp.
Activists entered the village on Friday
and performed the weekly prayer, before re-erecting tents and
planting olive trees, witnesses said.
Beit Iksa, surrounded by Israeli
settlements, is set to be entirely encircled by Israel's separation
wall, cutting it off from Jerusalem.
When completed, the wall will annex 96
percent of Beit Iksa's land, according to a study by the Applied
Research Institute - Jerusalem.
The Al-Karamah village was the second
protest village set up, and torn down, this month.
Earlier, activists established the Bab
al-Shams village near East Jerusalem, in a protest against Israel's
plans to build the "E1" settlement on the land, severing
the West Bank from Jerusalem.
