Video: Armed Israelis Attempt Ethnic Cleansing of Armenian Christians
Israeli 'settlers' invaded the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, to attempt the ethnic cleansing of the local Christian population. | Heavily armed Israeli “settlers” and police attempted the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter yesterday, where Armenian Christians have lived since the 4th Century AD, roughly 1,600 years before the 1948 founding of the modern State of Israel. ● On the evening of November 5th, armed Israeli “settlers”, accompanied by armed police officers, invaded the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, in an attempt to expel Christians from the area, seize their homes, and repopulate the neighborhood with Jews. By definition, the expulsion attempt constitutes ethnic cleansing and is part of a wider Israeli policy to remove Christians and Muslims from land that the Israelis want complete control of. ● In what’s been described as both a “siege” and a “standoff”, Armenian Christians met the “settlers” and their accomplices at the walls of the Armenian Quarter and refused to allow them to advance.
