Atta Jaber Family Story

ICAHD have worked with Atta Jaber and his family since they suffered their first home demolition in 1998, rebuilding two of his homes after they were destroyed by the authorities and in local arson attacks, and we wish to spread their story of peaceful resistance far and wide. In this 5 minute video you will see Atta explain his story and share disturbing home footage of attacks on his land and family by local settlers.

Atta Jaber and his family are a huge and constant inspiration for ICAHD, and we are tremendously grateful to work with such strong and dedicated people as these, who struggle to resist the occupation every day of their lives, amidst the violence of targeted demolition and harassment.

House Demolition in Anata

On July 17, 2007, volunteers at the Summer Rebuilding Camp sponsored by ICAHD witnessed the Israeli government demolish a nearby Palestinian family’s house.

Every year the Israeli government demolishes around 300 Palestinian houses in order to expand illegal Israeli settlement construction.

This policy of settlement expansion, land confiscation, and demolition of Palestinian houses forms the biggest obstacle to peace. ICAHD is working to end these policies
