Sabeel led a tour of the Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah

On Friday 27 May, Sabeel led a tour of the Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah communities in Jerusalem for the participants of the annual Christ at the Checkpoint Conference. We met with the families whose homes were demolished or are under threat of being demolished by the Israeli government. In Sheikh Jarrah, the community feels that every group that visits Jerusalem is coming to their neighborhood to witness the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem. They have seen hundreds of people visiting every day. Sabeel believes that this shows that the world and public opinion are changing.
