Palestinians: Israel uses rats against J'lem Arabs
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
The Palestinian Authority's official news agency Wafa says Israel is using
rats to drive Arab families out of their homes in the Old City of
Jerusalem.

Slideshow: Pictures of the week In the past the news agency, which is
controlled and funded by PA President Mahmoud Abbas's office, has accused
Israel of using wild pigs to drive Palestinians out of their homes and
fields
in the West Bank. In the re****ts, Palestinians were quoted by the agency
as
saying that they had seen Israelis release herds of wild pigs, which later
attacked them.
But this is the first time that Palestinians have spoken of rats being
used
against them.
"Rats have become an Israeli weapon to displace and expel Arab residents
of
the occupied Old City of Jerusalem," Wafa re****ted under the title,
"Settlers
flood the Old City of Jerusalem with rats." The re****t continued: "Over
the
past two months, dozens of settlers come to the alleyways and streets of
the
Old City carrying iron cages full of rats. They release the rats, which
find
shelter in open sewage systems."
Wafa quoted unnamed Arab residents as saying that they had tried to
eliminate
the rats with various poisons, but to no avail.
Israel's goal was to "increase the suffering of the [Arabs] in Jerusalem
by
turning their lives into a real tragedy and forcing them to evict their
homes
and leave the city," Hasan Khater, secretary-general of the
Islamic-Christian
Front in Jerusalem, was quoted as saying.
Jerusalem Municipality spokesman Gidi Schmerling said that the re****t was
"pure fiction," and had no connection to reality.
