After Israel conquered Palestine in 1967, we never went to Jerusalem again. It was too difficult at first and eventually we weren’t allowed. On its first day of occupation, Israel bulldozed the entire Moroccan neighborhood of some two hundred ancient houses and several hundred residents, who were given less than two hours’ notice to evacuate. Muslims and Christians alike, Greeks and Armenians saw most of their property confiscated, while they themselves were evicted to ghettos or exiled.
Thieving bastards
