End Demolitions Now!

Mr. M2 built his home in 2006, adjacent to his parent’s home on the family land. In 2007 they were forced to dismantle the home by the Israeli Authorities under threat of massive demolitions in the village. The people of Kebia are mostly farmers, construction workers, and a handful of professionals. Many of them travel to Ramallah for work, and some work in the settlements. Even the village schoolteachers work in the settlements during the summer as laborers in order to supplement their salaries. Kebia was also the site of an infamous massacre by Israel’s 101 Brigade on 14th October 1953. The attack on civilians, which killed 65 people, was led by Ariel Sharon who subsequently became a prime Minister of Israel.
