The Jerusalem municipality is billing Badwan al-Salaymeh for the destruction of his home. (Lazar Simeonov) |
“The human rights organizations will probably care more about the pets — even animals have more rights than us Palestinians,” al-Salaymeh said as he climbed the mound of concrete and metal.
The front yard gives the impression of a miniature war zone: the collapsed home in the centere, the metal fence dented and bent, the garden uprooted, the trees flattened under the bulldozers.
Early in the morning on Wednesday (29 May), approximately 100 Israeli police officers arrived at his home in the Beit Hanina area of Jerusalem, accompanied by two bulldozers. According to witnesses, two minors were arrested for throwing stones, one of whom was said to be around 12 years old. Another was injured after inhaling tear gas.
