epa03189988 A Jewish settler sits in a house in the Sheikh Jarrah area of East Jerusalem, as he fixes or installs a door lock, as a Palestinian boy waves a Palestinian flag at him, 20 April 2012. Several dozen Israeli and Palestinians held their weekly solidarity with Sheikh Jarrah demonstration and marched to this 'occupied' house, without incident, as they protested against the 'Judaization of Jerusalem,' by Jewish settlers in Arab neighborhoods. The house was taken over by Jewish settlers two years ago, in April 2010. EPA/JIM HOLLANDERJerusalem - The European Union has condemned an Israeli eviction of an Arab family in east Jerusalem.
Israeli police evicted a family from a home in the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Hanina Wednesday. Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said the property belonged to Jewish owners.
The European Union missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah issued a joint statement Saturday announcing they “are deeply concerned by the plans to build a new settlement in the midst of this traditional Palestinian neighborhood.”
Arieh King, who directs an organization that buys land for Jews in east Jerusalem, said Wednesday that about ten Israelis moved into the home.
Beit Hanina is part of east Jerusalem captured by Israel in 1967 and which Palestinians claim as the capital of their future state.

Excuse me? The Judaization of Jerusalem. Uh, weren't we there first? Does anyone know history anymore. What a chutzpeh to say the Judaization of Jerusalem!

The Moslemization of Jerusalem could not possibly have begun before the year 622. The Moslem people have been living there for 1,390 years. Those Moslem people could not possibly have been living there before that, because Mohamed didn't start to write the Koran and make Islam a religion until the year 622. So, before that, there could be no Moslems following the Koran which wasn’t even written yet.
Hmmm, 622 subtracted from 2012 equals, 1390. So that means that after King David built the city of Jerusalem in the year 1004 B.C.E. the Jewish people have been living in the city of Jerusalem for 3,016 years. Yes, three thousand and sixteen years. Let me see now, which is a longer time period of occupation, 1,390 years, or 3,016 years? Duh!
Yet, the Europeans who currently have a very tough time getting their own financial, political and religious acts together, have enough free moments on their hands, to tell the Jewish people that they better not dare to make Jerusalem Jewish?
Duh!

It's not about aggregates. The question is, who was in that house first- the Jewish family or the Palestinian family?
