While the genocidal crisis continues in Gaza, the Judaization of Jerusalem and plans for the full annexation of the West Bank are quietly being engineered through legal maneuvers by the State of Israel. The Jerusalem Metropolitan Bill is one of these legal tactics, which proposes to legally annex settlement blocs north, east, and south of Jerusalem, directly impacting the future of nearby Palestinian villages.

While the genocidal crisis continues in Gaza, the Judaization of Jerusalem and plans for the full annexation of the West Bank are quietly being engineered through legal maneuvers by the State of Israel. The Jerusalem Metropolitan Bill is one of these legal tactics, which proposes to legally annex settlement blocs north, east, and south of Jerusalem, directly impacting the future of nearby Palestinian villages.

Please write to and call your representatives, as the first in a series of initiatives from an emerging coalition campaign formed to challenge the accelerating ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem, or al-Quds (The Holy City). Not only are our Palestinian sibllings in Jerusalem suffering from apartheid and the ongoing threat forced of displacement, but the indigenous beauty, diversity, culture, and living history of the holy city are at serious risk of being forever lost in the face of settler-colonial violence and erasure. It is the indigenous diversity, culture and history that makes the city holy, a holiness profaned by the evils of ethnic clearnsing, racial supremacy, and apartheid.

Psalm 87

On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the Lord. He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other dwelling of Jacob. O city of God, what glorious things are said of you!

I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me— also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.They have all become citizens of Jerusalem! Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.”

And the Most High will personally bless this city. When the Lord registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” 

We must preserve the holiness of the holy city!
