Demonstration - save Susya from destruction! Save Susya – Israelis and Palestinians demonstrate jointly to save threatened West Bank village. Friday, July 24, 2015, South Hebron Hills The Palestinian village of Susya in the South Hebron hills is under imminent threat of demolition. Join the residents of the village in saying no to demolitions. Please register here for transportation from: Tel Aviv, 11:30am from Arlozorov Street Railway Station (estimated return 5.30pm) Jerusalem, 12:00pm from Liberty Bell Park (estimated return 5pm) https://goo.gl/k5bZGe On May 5, 2015, the Supreme Court in Jerusalem refused to issue an interim order, blocking demolition of the village of Susiya pending the hearing of the villagers’ appeal which is scheduled for Aug. 3. Thus, the court gave the army a free hand to carry out, at its convenience, the destruction of Susiya and expulsion of its residents, numbering some 340 men, women and children. Thereupon, on Sunday, July 12 representatives of the Military Government came to Susya and informed the residents that they intend to carry out demolition of nearly half of the buildings in the village, even before the August 3 court hearing. Both the European Union and the US State Department have called upon the Netanyahu Government not to implement the planned destruction of Susya. So far, however, government officials made clear that the bulldozers are still on their way. Your presence at the demonstration is vital!
