On the wall of the living room of Zohair Rajabi’s house is a map showing his neighbourhood: the stepped alleys winding down the steep slopes facing Jerusalem’s Old City, and the flat roofs of individual houses. The 54-year-old community leader’s own home is marked by a yellow sticker. Rajabi fervently hopes he will never have to replace it with a red one – signifying that Jewish Israelis live in the building.
His family has been under threat of eviction for two decades. “We are living in constant anxiety. It’s very difficult,” he said last week.
