<p><span><span style="font-size:14.6666666666667px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Susiya is in Area C - part of the West Bank that is fully controlled by the Israeli government. Susiya leaders submitted a professionally developed master plan to the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA) but it was rejected with a response that captures Israel’s approach to all Palestinians: </span><span style="font-size:14.6666666666667px;font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">“the villagers would be better off living somewhere else.”</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-size:14.6666666666667px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Israeli officials have admitted that pressure from settlers sped up the demolition orders, in order to get around Susiya’s upcoming day in court, scheduled for August 3rd. Now Israeli officials are saying they plan to demolish the village soon after Ramadan ends tonight.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6666666666667px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">The good news is that we aren’t the only ones horrified by Israel’s plans. In response to the organizing of village leaders in Susiya, organizations like Rabbis for Human Rights and Rebuilding Alliance have been working day and night to spread the word. And it’s working: Representative Anna Eshoo issued a letter yesterday to Secretary Kerry that 8 more representatives signed onto almost instantly. </span> </p>

<p><span><span style="font-size:14.6666666666667px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">I’ve visited Susiya, sat in the homes slated for demolition, eaten dinner with members of the 55 families who’ve been living in this location for decades and hold undisputed titles to their land. I’m heartbroken imagining these families forced out of their homes. But in Susiya--as throughout Israel/Palestine--ancestral claim, clear titles, professional master plans, keys to the home that has been in your family for generations--it’s not enough to be safe and secure in your home. If you are Palestinian.</span></span></p>
