PALESTINIANS SIT TIGHT IN 'ABANDONED' HOMES
Stephen Farrell, The Times, 12/3/02

IN A doomed Palestinian house, the Salaimi family sits waiting for Israeli bulldozers to arrive on land that they say their family has owned for five generations.

The feast to end Ramadan is close, but the Salaimis are not celebrating. The Israeli military has just told them that their home is among 15 to be demolished to allow Jewish settlers to walk in safety to a nearby shrine.

This is in the divided city of Hebron, already one of the most violent Arab-Jewish faultlines in the West Bank, where 450 settlers live among 130,000 Palestinians in an atmosphere of mutual hatred and distrust...

Israeli newspapers report that the settlers plan to build a 1,000-flat housing block.
