Back to Tuwani: Umm Juma's House

Here's a great article about my favorite person and her struggle to keep her home:

Umm Juma’s house was built 30 years ago, but she still has to obtain a building permit for the house to be legal in the eyes of the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA), the Israeli military agency that decides whether building are legal in Area C. Umm Juma’s house faces possible demolition, as it lies 100 metres outside of the planning boundaries defined by the ICA. Even if the six room house is not demolished it will still be located outside the boundaries of the plan for the village, which means that Umm Juma’s family of 30 won’t be able to legally expand or renovate the already overcrowded house.

To the outreached arm of a drowning person...
To those who missed their mother's bread

About Me

After three years of blogging about my experiences participating in Palestinian-led nonviolent resistance and living in the village of At-Tuwani, I suddenly find myself back in Chicago. In this blog, I chronicle my adventures supporting At-Tuwani's resistance from here in the United States.
