The world turns away, but "there is fuel in the air" as a record number of Palestinians in and around Jerusalem lose their homes, either pitilessly razed by bulldozers or seized by jeering Israeli settlers with the "law" of occupation on their side. For those left destitute, it's "an early death," a brutal uprooting by a country that "throws us out like garbage" when they ask only to live: "I need them to let me live, with my family, in my house. It's a simple request."
