Demolished home debris
Mr. F lives in the village of Shukba in the Central West Bank. The Israeli army destroyed 6 houses in the village in one day in 2006. Though it had proved impossible to obtain building permits from the Israeli authorities, Mr. F built a home for his family of seven children. His family has lived in the village for hundreds of years and he has legal title to the property dating back to the Ottoman era. However the Israeli government has a policy of not allowing Palestinian villages to grow, refuses requests for permits, and routinely destroys homes that represent a family’s life savings. Over 40 Israeli activists helped to rebuild this home.
