Protesters picket US State Department following eviction of al-Kurd family of East Jerusalem

The eviction of the al-Kurd family from their East Jerusalem home is attracting worldwide protest.

Upon hearing the news, two recent ISM volunteers who had camped out on the al-Kurd patio for several days picketed the U.S. State Department and visited with a representative of the Israel-Palestine desk.

They were assured that the State Department had already filed a complaint with the Israeli government, but the volunteers are pressing for immediate, concrete action.
