Описание: From the heart of Palestinian suffering, we hear of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians happening right now as we see these pictures coming out of Jerusalem
The Salhiya family were forcibly removed from their home in East Jerusalem yesterday, 19th January 2022, and their house has been destroyed. Yasmine Salhiya said that the Israeli soldiers beat her 9 year old sister, and her aunt who is unable to move due to her injuries.

In the city of Jerusalem
Chorus:
Today there’s ethnic cleansing in the city of Jerusalem the holy city bows its head in shame
today there's ethnic cleansing in the city of Jerusalem
Jerusalem betrays its own name
The City of peace betrays its own name

Voices of the oppressed cry out from East Jerusalem
Like Mohammed El Kurd in Sheik Jarrah
15 hundred Palestinians facing eviction
From Al Bustan, Silwan and Sheik Jarrah

Chorus: Today there's ethnic cleansing...

“We’re living on the brink of homelessness”
Israel is removing Palestinians from Jerusalem
So “We’re living on the brink of homelessness”
Because of war crimes of an occupying power

Middle:
It’s our home, it’s our land, it’s our city
How would you feel how would you feel
It’s our home, it’s our land, it’s our city
“They are evicting us from Humanity”
All we want is to be treated like human beings.

Chorus: Today there’s ethnic cleansing in the city of Jerusalem

Middle:
It’s our home, it’s our land, it’s our city
How would you feel how would you feel
It’s our home, it’s our land, it’s our city
“They are evicting us from humanity”

All we want is to be treated like human beings,
The city of peace must be a city for everyone

So Speak up. Speak out.
The Palestinians are rising
It is time to rally, rally behind them
