Michael Bahl: Elderly Palestinian couple evicted from East Jerusalem home despite U.S. protest
Talkback
Title:Callous beyond belief

The eviction of this elderly couple who have lived in this house for 50 years is cruel and just another example of blatant ethnic cleansing.
If the al-Kurds would have been Jewish this would never have happened. In fact, with the Absentee Property laws Israel shows what Apartheid state it is, a state which discriminates on ethnic grounds.
In a democratic society the fact that the al-Kurds have lived there for 50 years would have bestowed rights of residence on them. It certainly would have in the Netherlands.
What has happened here is callous beyond belief.
Another day of shame for a country which calls itself a liberal democracy!
