#SaveLifta: One of the Last Palestinian Villages Left Standing After the Nakba

Opinion analysis by Roa Daher, Featured Writer

By demolishing Lifta, israeli politicians are hoping to continue their plan to judaise Jerusalem and make it a capital of israel that is void of Palestinians while simultaneously robbing Palestinians from Lifta of their Right to Return. The occupation and apartheid state is continuing the project it started in 1948, built on the idea that Palestine is ‘a land without a people for a people without a land’ and thus perfect for establishing a Jewish homeland. However, the land is Palestinian and Palestinians will continue to exist and resist the occupation.
