Introduction
Despite being annexed by the Israeli government following the Six-Day war of 1967, Palestinians who manage to continue living in East Jerusalem (despite policies that pressure them to leave), are treated as second-class, ‘less-than’ citizens. Among the many indignities, they experience a wide variety of human rights violations, perpetrated by virtually all sectors of the Israeli government. These violations are not limited to direct violence1 committed by Israeli authorities; they also include structural or ‘indirect’ abuses, such as discrimination and exploitation.
