BACKGROUND
The Sumarin family has been living in the same house in East Jerusalem for generations. Yet unless the
Israeli Supreme Court rules in their favor, they will soon be evicted, their home and their land taken from
them. Please urge your representatives in Congress to speak out against this injustice and sign the letter aimed
at stopping this eviction of a Palestinian family from their home.
This case goes far beyond the struggle of one family to save its home. It is a part of a broader
fight against the efforts of Israeli settlers to displace East Jerusalem Palestinians and to create facts on
the ground that would block the path for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement on Jerusalem.
Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) is circulating a Dear Colleague letter addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging his government “to intervene on behalf of the Sumarin family and halt their eviction from their long-standing home."
Please urge your Representative to sign on to Congresswoman Speier’s letter.
