	"description": "Just weeks after the one year anniversary of Awdah Hathaleen’s murder, the residents of Umm Al Khair learned their entire community is at risk of imminent ethnic cleansing and expulsion. In a sudden and highly alarming move, Israeli authorities have rapidly changed the maps and land classifications concerning Umm al-Khair, reclassifying over 90% of the land previously recognized as privately owned by Palestinians, now as “disputed land.” The consequences of this sudden reclassification are already reverberating throughout the village. Every home, every family, and every piece of land in Umm al-Khair now faces an existential threat from state-supported settler attacks inside their village and around their homes — all under the pretext of “disputed land.” The village of Umm Al Khair has suffered greatly in the last year, with caravans from the neighboring settlement of Carmel usurping a large portion of the village, and directly next to Palestinian homes. They have continued to attempt to overtake more land, and recently took over a Palestinian family’s backyard. This change in land classification opens up the door for further brutal and violent acts of displacement in the village. The residents of Umm Al Khair are calling on people of conscience from around the globe to stand with them and contact their government representatives, before it is too late. We, the residents of Khirbet Umm Al-Khair, are making an urgent appeal today to our friends and supporters around the world, to journalists, human rights organizations, diplomats, international institutions, and everyone who has stood with our community over the years: Do not wait for the catastrophe to happen. We urgently ask you to act now. Contact your representatives, governments, and parliaments. Demand an immediate investigation into how these maps were prepared, how the legal classification of more than 90% of our village’s land was changed, who made this decision, on what legal basis, and why such a fundamental change was carried out so suddenly and without transparency or the participation of the people who actually own and live on this land. The world must know what is happening here before changes on paper become irreversible facts on the ground. If you do not intervene now, Khirbet Umm Al-Khair could be facing a real catastrophe. We are not asking for the impossible. We are asking for help to remain on our land, and for the international community to prevent maps and laws from being used as tools to dispossess us and drive us from our homes. We have endured years of demolitions, violence, intimidation, and attacks. We have lost friends, loved ones, and community leaders. Yet we remained here. But today, we need the world.",
