Israel demolishes Palestinian homes near Jericho (AFP)

15 November 2011 JERICHO, Palestinian Territories — Bulldozers flanked by Israeli troops razed four Palestinian homes near the ancient city of Jericho on Tuesday, with Israel saying they endangered a nearby archaeological site.
Ammar Fakhuri, the owner of one of the buildings, told AFP it was the third time that Israel had demolished properties he owned.

“They did it twice in the Old City of Jerusalem in 2004 and 2010 and now here,” he said, adding that Tuesday’s demolition was carried out by two bulldozers with an army escort.

A spokesman for the department within the Israeli defence ministry which administers the occupied West Bank, said the homes were built on government-owned land which was to be used by the nearby settlement of Vered Yericho.

The four structures were built “without permits on state-owned land designated for agriculture,” civil administration spokesman Guy Inbar said.

They were built “near an archaeological site with the risk of endangering it,” he added.

Inbar said the four structures were uninhabited and that the house owners, who came from east Jerusalem, had been warned to stop building, but had refused.

In August, a report by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said that Israeli demolitions in the West Bank rose “alarmingly” in the first half of 2011, with 356 structures demolished in the first six months of this year, compared with 431 for the whole of 2010.

It said 700 people had been displaced by the demolitions in the first six months of 2011, compared with 594 in the whole of 2010.

UNRWA said the demolitions took place in Area C, the 60 percent of the West Bank which is designated as under full Israeli control, in which Israel has designated just one percent of land for Palestinian development.

Israel says its demolitions of homes are based only on whether the structures in question have the appropriate permits.

But the agency said the demolitions seemed to be concentrated in areas “targeted for settlement expansion.”
 
the Jews suffered so much during the holocaust; there are few Jewish families that don't have ancestors who suffered.

therefore it's truly astounding and quite alarming to see that the same treatment meted out to the Jews during the holocaust is the SAME treatment being given to the indigenous Palestinian population.

these new settlements are against international law but the world is still sleeping
 
Israeli terrorism is unacceptable .........:angry:
many will come to support the Israeli terrorism ... pathetic

Last week they had it confirmed that Israel is an apartheid state.
Their leader was shown to be detested by their strongest allies. Today a put up a thread that they wer torturing prisoners and now this. Its good to see Zionism is now becoming open for all to see and of course reject.
 
West , USA and UN will not say anything against their common GF ( Israel )

Publically they may not - but we heard how much they hate dealing with them last week. Its wearing thin doctor sahib. Internally its wearing them out - the constant hatred they spurt out. Trust me its wearing thin
 
Isn't this a reward for Israel winning the war in 6 days?

If Israel had lost the war, they would be no more Israel and you won't see people making a big fuss about giving some land to Israel.

The war is ongoing. You are blind if you think Israel has won the war, they will be under threat until they no longer exist just as was the case with previous crusades in the holy land.

What we see now is a cowardly step to steal land slowly because their official line is they do want a negotiated settlement. If they feel the land is theirs to take they should come out and say it.

Another example of israeli state terrorism.
 
The USA are the self appointed global police. When it comes to Israel they turn a blind eye. When it comes to Israel they have a special rule " All animals are equal BUT some are more equal than others."

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell, a splendid piece of literature that perfectly describes the present world, though he had portrayed the Soviet Union before WW-II through this novel.
