25 0 0"illegal construction"
- By Brit
- 16 Jul 2012
- 09:52AM
So what is this "illegal construction"? It's schools, solar power installations, library buses and other facilities that these desperately poor people need and which the Israeli authorities refuse to approve. There can be little doubt this is part of an Israeli ethnic cleansing policy for Area C. I am shocked t hat this Haaretz article appears to be written from government press releases, without explaining why the UN has been forced down this route.
