Dar ElHanounwas one of the very first projects led by Taayush with international volunteers and others.
Dar ElHanoun – The Israeli Supreme Court temporarily prevents demolitions –
The struggle continues!
Following the appeal of Dar ElHanoun’s residents, the Israeli Supreme Court has issued today (8 Nov. 07) a temporary order preventing the demolition of Moustafa and Hadra Abu-Hillal’s home. The demolition order against the asphalted area paved by Jewish and Arab volunteers in 2001 still holds, but may be delayed by a similar order.
This development is highly important for gaining time for the struggle against demolitions in Dar ElHanoun. However, it embodies new dangers, since the mere appeal to the Supreme Court is a serious legal measure, after which further appeals may be prevented.
Dar ElHanoun is still seriously threatened by the Israeli Ministry of the Interior, whose officials are openly calling for destructing the village and removing its residents from their land.
The residents, together with the International Committee for Dar ElHanoun, are determined to make any effort to prevent such a development.
We are calling all the supporters of Dar ElHanoun, in Israel and abroad:
1. Distribute the message below in wide distribution.
2. Join the mailing list of Dar ElHanoun:

RE: Stop Demolitions in the Village of Dar ElHanoun in Wadi Ara
Dear Mr. Sheetrit,
It has been recently brought to my attention about the village of Dar
ElHanoun – a village in the State of Israel, in the Wadi Ara area. The residents of Dar
ElHanoun are Arab Israeli citizens who legally own their land.
Despite the fact that the village of Dar ElHanoun dates back to the 1920s,
the State of Israel refuses to recognize it and it denies its residents their
basic human and civil rights.
A house and an asphalt area in the village are now threatened by administrative
demolition orders.
Officials of your ministry are openly calling for the evacuation of Dar ElHanoun
and the destruction of its houses.
I see it as your duty to stop this shameful state of affairs. I am calling you to immediately recognize the village of Dar ElHanoun and provide its residents with all the help that your ministry can provide, in equality to Jewish communities in the same region.
I am looking forward to receiving your answer.
Respectfully,
The struggle continues!
