An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish man gestures as he stands outside the house of the Palestinian Kurd family who were evicted by Israeli settlers in east Jerusalem’s Arab quarter of Sheikh Jarrah on April 17, 2010. The settlers claim ownership of properties in Sheikh Jarrah on the basis of Ottoman-era documents. The Palestinians and their supporters have argued that the same kinds of documents would prove ownership of vast swathes of what is now Israel by the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who became refugees after the 1948 Middle East war that attended Israel’s creation.
