Naturally Haaretz injected their own sense of shadow to the story, making it all seem thuggish and potentially illegal, characterizing the action as a break in (read the comments to get into the beautiful sickness of the self-hating Jew, and his genocidal Arab cohort). They also erroneously refer to the area as the "Muslim" quarter, when in fact the home is in what had been an area populated by Jews until they were forced out in Arab pogroms against them. After the full forcible eviction of all of the Old City's Jews in 1948, not a Jew remained in the Old City.
Since Haaretz will not tell the truth about this incident, I am publishing the story conveyed to me by Rabbi Ben Packer of Our Jerusalem.
Rabbi Packer works on the front line to restore the rightful Jewish presence in Jerusalem and welcomes your support. Join Our Jerusalem on Facebook or go to the Israel Land Fund to learn how you can help continue the reclamation and final liberation of Jerusalem from illegal Arab occupation.
Beit Volero located on Rechov HaTzariach HaAdom, in the Al-Saadiyah neighbourhood, close to the Flowers gate, was the private residence of the Volero family. The property was formally purchased by Moshe Volero (power of attorney from father Yaakov Volero) in 1866.May the trend continue and the illegal Arab occupation of Jerusalem be ended speedily in our days!
As has been the story behind hundreds of homes in the Old City, the Jews were driven from their homes in one or other of the pogroms in the 1920's and 1930's. Arab squatters took over many of these properties and in 1967, they were deemed officially to be protected tenants. Over the years, a number of Jewish investors from Israel and abroad have 'effectively' bought again these homes to reclaim old Jewish properties. In some instances the properties have returned to the rightful Jewish heirs, once the protected tenancy rights have ceased.
Given the tense situation due to Arab pogroms, aggression and violence towards the Jews, the Volero family sold their residence to an Arab, around the year 1920.
Over 20 years ago, "Jewish concerns" managed to officially purchase the building from the Arab, but in the early years had to contend with an Arab family who were protected tenants. Once these protected tenancy rights had ceased, the Jewish owners had full right to move into 'their' building. The relevant arrangements were made, the official legal paperwork in hand, and without any need for ‘forcible eviction’ and without any ‘armed settlers’, as certain media outlets and UN representatives falsely claimed, Yeshiva students moved in to the apartments. Due to Arab violence in previous moves such as this, there was a need for some security guards and the Police were notified at the appropriate time.
At the time of writing this material, the courts have ratified the move, and it seems, that there will be some discussions in court next week as to the status of the last remaining Arab tenant in the original Beit Volero complex.
On early Thursday morning -18Av -29th July 2010, which symbolically was the anniversary of the 1929 riots and pogroms (instigated by the Nazi Grand Mufti Haj Amin El Husseini), Yeshiva students moved back into the old Volero residence.
In the immediate vicinity of this large Beit Volero complex, are another 12 Jewish families and Yeshiva students, who have returned to the old Jewish quarter of the old City.
In total there are today close to 1000 Jewish residents (Including Yeshiva students) that have returned home to the old Jewish Quarter in the heart of the Old City. (Today's Moslem and Christian Quarters)

When I saw this The Top 12 Reasons To Burn A Quran On 9/11 Hubpages piece I convinced myself that western Journalism's commentators really have to see this link! http://hubpages.com/hub/The-12-Top-Reasons-To-Burn-A-Quran-On-911
Cammie, I'm not sure what your pointing out of this link is about, but I'm going to assume that it is to spread a cumbaya attitude towards Muslims.
While I do not advocate the burning of the Quran (not for any of the reasons on that list, though I agree that burning the holy book of any religion stands against everything this republic is supposed to represent), because my nation is one whose books have been burned throughout the past 2000 years, by Muslims and Christians alike, I am not a dupe who believes the false notion that Islam is a "religion of peace." Burning a book does not prevent Jihad, or the continuing Islamization of the West.
Hal Licino is well meaning, but he is also an ignorant buffoon to think Muslims are his brothers. Apparently he has neither studied the Koran, or the history of Islam.
Under the Koran's teachings he is an infidel. He has two choices: accept Islam, or die. If Muslims choose to live in coexistence with the peoples of other religions that's fine. When they infringe on the liberties and religious practices of others, then they must be stopped.
The simple fact is that pretending Islam is a religion of peace does not make it so.
Why is the cathedral of St. Sophia, in what is now called Istanbul, now a mosque? Because of the Jihad of the Muslim Ottomans.
Why was the Iberian peninsula controlled by Arab Muslims from the year 718, until the 15th century? And why is it that when the more extremist Almohads gained more control over their slightly less extreme Muslim brethren did large numbers of Jews and Christians flee? Because the alternative was conversion or death.
Why is Charles Martel even noted in anyone's history books? Because he brought an end to the Arab Islamic Jihadist expansion in Western Europe at the Battle of Tours in 732.
Why did the Habsburgs accept Ottoman rule in 1547 and the Islamic Ottoman empire come to control 15 million people? Because of the Jihadist teachings of the Koran that demanded war against the Holy Roman Empire (the Catholic Church).
Why did the Ottomans lay siege to Vienna in 1529 and why, when it failed did they continue to attempt to press against the city off and on for 150 years, culminating with the Battle of Vienna in 1683? Jihad.
Why is Israel's destruction sought by the Muslim nation's around it? Because they cannot accept Jews living on what they consider Muslim lands. But then, apparently they do not study their own holy book as the Koran is quite explicit in the fact that the land of Israel was given to the Jews, and it should remain that way.
Islam is a religion of prejudice, conquest, and conversion as taught in the Koran. It is not extremism that twists it. It is the nature of the book. It is the basis of the religion. It is an incontrovertible fact. Whether adherents choose to practice these prejudices and culture of jihad is up to them. Then they are not following the Koran. That is their choice.
I went to college with Ben Packer -sorry, *Rabbi* Packer. We used to torment with glee those who were members of the cult of Oslo. How come we were clear-headed enough at 20 years of age to dismiss the nonsense that was being pushed as a "peace process" when a stupidly high proportion of American Jews of all ages still thinks there is such a thing as a diplomatic solution? This question has always puzzled me. The opinions of dopes/dupes like Tom Friedman are still viewed as authoritative by otherwise intelligent Jews, when actually Friedman and his ilk are actually impervious to reality and have an unbroken record of being wrong. I just don't get it.
The only person capable of being a more grandiose idiot than Tom Friedman is the idiot who thinks Friedman is not an idiot. Wait...Michael Lerner is still undead.
I operate on Kesey's postulate: "In any given situation there are always going to be more dumb people than smart people."
