OK, I can tell you why the court decided to evict those families.
Because they were living there for free for decades, even though it was owned by Jewish families since the 1800's. Jordan has provided records for the court proving the case of Jewish ownership of the houses in question, and the Israeli court gave the Palestinian occupants an opportunity to stay and pay rent, and they outright refused to. So they ordered an eviction.
If this happened in Calgary (obviously not the same kind of acrimonious history here), would you start a war over families being evicted from houses that they don't own and refuse to pay rent on??
