![]() ![]() After the Six-Day War in 1967, the successors to the Jewish owners successfully filed to get their property back and asked the Palestinian tenants to pay their rent. The ownership of the land was continued to be held in trust for the Jewish owners by the Jordanian Custodian. Those tenants who lived up to the lease terms would be allowed to sign a long-term lease of 30 years, and after that a further 33 years. In 1956 the Jordanian Government reached an agreement with UNRWA to use the vacant portion of the Jewish land in Sheikh Jarrah to build houses for 28 Palestinian refugee families, who in return for tenancy on the property, agreed to give up their refugee assistance and ration cards and would pay nominal rent for a probationary period of three years and three months. The Jordanian Custodian of Enemy Property took control of the property after the 1948 War of Independence, as it did with other West Bank property owned by Jews (and Arabs) living in Israel after the war. These homes were built on land purchased and owned by Jews since the 1870s. #FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrahīy accusing Israel of stealing land based on ethnicity, Sebei is broadcasting a complete and utter falsehood.Īt issue is the ownership of a small number of properties in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

In a Tweet posted on Sunday, May 9, 2021, Sebei declared, “There is no viable moral defense for stealing people’s homes based on their ethnicity.” He then invoked the “SaveSheikhJarrah” hashtag to tell his 1.2 million Twitter followers that he was talking about Israel. Rami Sebei, an entertainer who performs under the name “Sami Zayn” for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), headquartered in Connecticut, has taken to the Internet to condemn Israel, falsely accusing the Jewish state of ethnically cleansing Arabs living in Jerusalem, and seemingly supporting rocket attacks and violence against innocent Israeli civilians. The inaccurate and hostile Tweets documented below have since been deleted by Sebei. Note: The following article was published in The Algemeiner on May 13, 2021. ![]()
