Palestinians in East Jerusalem live their daily lives under the brutality of Israeli occupation. However, their suffering is ignored by most of the western media. Last week, western journalists turned their focus on Jerusalem only because an Israeli settler, Yehuda Glick, was shot and injured near the Old City on October 29th. However, violence against Palestinians is a constant feature of life in East Jerusalem and it goes unreported by our media. Palestinians in East Jerusalem face expulsion from the city, home demolitions, freedom of movement restrictions, surveillance, and violence from settlers and soldiers. This is in addition to illegal settlement building on their land. - See more at: palestinecampaign.org/media-wont-tell-east-jerusalem/#sthash.DJx12i5R.dpuf
