Political Tour of Jerusalem
In cooperation with Grassroots Jerusalem
Thursday, 10 October,10:00–13:30
The tour identifies and highlights the Israeli policies that are designed to displace Palestinians from Jerusalem, including the revocation of legal status, land expropriation, home demolition, the suffocation of the Palestinian economy, deliberate underdevelopment and more.

The tour concludes with living examples of inspirational grassroots initiatives in Palestinian communities in Jerusalem that are creatively resisting displacement and disempowerment.
