On Wednesday we sat with Abu Sadam in the rubble of all that remains of
his family’s house, in Hisbet Wadi Joz, East Jerusalem. Early Tuesday
morning at about 2am occupying forces arrived with a digger to demolish
the house. The Israeli authorities have planned a national park and his
home is in the way. Although the house was on Waqf land (The Jerusalem
Islamic Waqf is a trust best known for controlling and managing
buildings and land on and around Haram Al-Sharif), because it was built
after the occupation in 1967 it is not protected.
