American rabbi pays visit to Jerusalem MPs’ sit-in tent

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, — The American rabbi Yami’el Jarememen stopped on Sunday at the sit-in tent of the Jerusalem MPs and former Jerusalem minister threatened to be exiled at the Red Cross headquarters, where they have been sitting for 46 days.

A member of the Rabbis for Human Rights group, the clergyman spoke with the MPs on the deportation issue and its disagreement with the international law, which prohibits exiling the indigenous people of any occupied city.

Attended by a journalist from Germany, the rabbi lent his ear to the suffering the MPs underwent while separated from their wives and children during their sit-in, and how they were arrested and threatened to be exiled because they are members of the Palestinian parliament.

Jarememen promised the MPs to take action in exposing Israel’s practices to international forums and human rights organizations and to correspond with U.S. administration and Congress to stop the unjust decision targeting Jerusalemites.
