That sucks! One of Israel's many thefts .. land .. houses .. dignity .. respect .. it is a travesty .. shameful ..
Very best wishes to the
members of the Shaya family.
The first hearing in the case is scheduled for February. Attorney Hisham Shabaita from Tel Aviv University's Human Rights Clinic is representing the family. "The state is cynically and aggressively seeking to dispossess citizens of their home that was built before the state's founding, solely because they are Arabs," he says. "The state's aim to act upon a dubious partnership in a residence, a partnership born out of the controversial Absentee Property Law ... stems from pure greed."
Kusa adds: "I have no doubt that if we were Jews the state would not be doing this. Our whole lives we have felt that we are part of this society. Even as a member of a minority I never considered anywhere else home. But it's clear to me that if I were to convert, they would behave differently."
Even now, with the echoes of their father's battle still in their heads, the siblings say all they want is to resolve the dispute and acquire the state's stake in the property. But they say the other side has no desire to reach a solution and is only interested in tapping the property's value.
