Palestinian official: Israel razed 150 Arab homes in West Bank

..and most Israelis didn't own a patch of land and isn't it criminal to- day that they occupy 78% percent of the Palestinian peoples' home- land when their UN share was 55% percent to begin with. Yet even that share itself represented another great injustice giving Jews the Lion's share when they were the minority population and it wasn't even their homeland Now they take an take more and more in the Palestinian territories like some ancient devouring beast and occupy over 80% percent of the Palestinian peoples' homeland and show no aptitude or remorse for what they are doing.. How they expect to make it in the ME is beyond me. Aren't they aware how they repel the free and moral world today with their unGodly greed for Palestinian land? Don't they know the troops are all on the other side today and not theirs? They should.... Dutch P.S. This man has felt it all and as he notes it has "destroyed my life since ..." http://www.alternatefocus.org/SittaShow.html

Amazing isn't it- Palestinian homes that have been inn place for some 60 yrs are somehow considered illegal and endangered yet there are hundreds of Israeli settlements & outposts which 14 justices declared to be inviolation of international law in 2004 and none of them have been scheduled for demolition by the IDF or have been considered to be "endangered" and warranting the removal of their occupants by the IDF. And the double take on this double there as author Susan Nathan who was a member of the Or Commision pointed out Israel discriminates against giving building permits to non-Jews for building and then turns around and uses this argument to evict them. What shameful double standards by Israeli officials. Dutch

where you might stow BOTH of your invitations?

do you think you can figure out the rest on your own?

where they can treat Jews as their slaves and Jewish property as their own.Even Arabs living there must abide to the law and respect it no matter if they feel superior or Jews owners. Illegal is illegal and it is only natural that Jews use force to protect their territory and land against Arab thieves who ask more a more by building on others land.Those Arab outposts were illegal and had to be removed to stop Arab expansion on Jewish territory. And why not.

stupidity knows no bounds.... The structures have been there for decades... Looking on old maps you can find the village has been there for a long time... Your hatred is showing though.....

Step 1. Never issue any building permits. Step 2. Deem all building illegal. Step 3. Use the fruits of Step 1 to justify destroying homes for which building permits were refused. It works in a narrow legalistic fashion. It also LOOKS really snarky.

first off the occupation is illegal so is the civil administration (although legally responsible for the palestinians under illegal occupation ) the squatters are ALL illegal, the apartheid wall is illegal....is there anything the zionist do that is legal? nothing that i can see

I want to congratulate the Israeli colonial force for it's actions. They may have just created few more terrorist for future time and events. When something happens don't ask why just look in the rear view mirrors. This happens all while hordes of of wanting to be cowboys are stealing Palestinian land, destroying farms and homes.History does not discriminate , " Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it".

Where Palestinians have the same rights as I have and live in Israel with representitives in Parliament. In fact 20% of the population. I don't agree with any freeze unless the Palestinians freeze too. Go to my site in facebook and you will see reality on the ground.

If the IDF is destroying illegally built houses of Palestinians, then the rest of the world will expect that the illegally built jewish houses and settlements in the West Bank will be destroyed too. Is there anybody, who believe that Israel and the Zionists are applying the same laws for Jews and Palestinians? Never, the Gods choosen people has their own rights.

Enough! Israel is behaving as an unbridled colonialist. This Jew is ready to join a boycott of Israel until it recognizes that it must leave occupied territories

I have my doubts about your notion that these children are responsible for both starting the war and for blowing anyone up. Although I suppose it is possible that those evil Palestinians are hiding their time machine from the rest of the world... And then there was that usual mumbo-jumbo that many posters here just can't resist. The "Fear card"! In order to justify the inhuman treatment of Palestinians we must take away their humanity and make people fear them. One of the ways we do that is by continuously claiming that Palestinians are savage murderers who want nothing more than to kill as many people as they can (if the children haven't killed anyone yet it is because they haven't had the opportunity). You don't need to back anything up of course, it would be stupid to try. Just make people afraid and you can treat Pals any way you want. Simple right? It worked in Germany too.

By your post it is obvious that you have spent a lot of time in Palestinian schools. It makes me sad to hear that those children are taught nothing but hatred, but at least you can serve as a role-model to them when you are out there in the schools. The love and compassion you exhibit for your fellow people is amazing! You must be the kindest man in the world.

Why don't they say one million? They are masters of Taqiyya (deception) to fool the world with their lies.

They shut raze the schools as well. They don't teach children anything there but to hate and make bombs. How is that for future participation of peace talks when the word is never taught nor makes any sense to them.

When you start blowing innocent people up and start wars you can't win, don't be surprised if this is the consequence. Palestine would raze every Jewish home if they were capable of it.

"Give the Israelis a break," indeed. The Israelis create "breaks" and then take them. The Pals have nothing else to give. Israel has taken away everything they have, including their dignity ("Roaches," "rats," etc.), such that they cannot, nor can the world, any longer give Israel "breaks." Your attitude is "breaking" the chance for peace, a two state solution, and ultimately the Zionist "project" as well. Read and heed Kaska, #7. Treat the Pals as human beings!

Would you support bulldozing all illegal outposts and illegal settlements and all buildings started in defiance of the settlement freeze? Oh and would you support reforming the racist Israeli planning system which encourages Jews to build and discourages Arabs?

All jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are illegal under international law. International law, because your are in the United Nations, is above Israeli law. They need to be destroyed. Law is the only thing that holds society together right?

There isn't one country in the world which doesn't remove illegal structures even legal ones if the country has to make a road through the area. So give Israel a break and ask why are the Palestinians building where they know they aren't allowed.

Germany brought WWI. Europeans found nothing better than to punish Germany for bringing Europe into war. That paved the way for nazism to take over Germany and brought WW2. Instead of punishing Germany after WW2, Germany was given full authority over it's territory and was given international aid to rebuild itself. Germany has been quiet ever since. You tried to punish the palestinians in the 1960s, it brought you Hamas in the 1980s. Instead of understanding the lesson, you defeated Hamas and imposed harsher sanctions. You are paving the way for more violance. Treat the palestinians like the world treated germany after WW2 and you will have a long lasting peace. But you are treating them like they treated Germany after WW1. Only brings more violance. Out of all the people on this planet, you would think the israelis would understand history better. They don't. It's sad.

Right wing Jews to have any reaction to these types of occurrences other than glee, but you left wing Jews that have consciences and hearts, how do you allow these things to go on in your name and in your land? This is downright disgusting. Displacing children to satisfy the ravenous warmongering right wing will only bring you more insecurity,and a lot more alienation from the international scene.

I just cant comprehend.I jumble stuff like this around in my head to check if maybe its just me who thinks its crazy,I cant understand why Israel can conduct itself in this evil manner.I hurt for these poor Palestinan people!We have a saying here "We're all Jock Tamson's bairns" It translates to we are all Gods children

...as germans did after Woels war 2. Want a state?...Then reject terrorism and annihilate HAMAS , ISLAMIC JINAD & Co. Cannot do it? .... Then meet the consequences.

Israel has always in some ways been a Jewish ethnocracy, but it used to pretend it wasn't. Increasingly, it's coming out into the open now and making it clear that only Jews really matter to the Israeli government and state. All other people under its control are treated as 2nd or 3rd class citizens, or, of course, like the poor stateless captive Pals, treated as 4th class and not even citizens.

these israelis and the idf really don't know where to stop in their crimes against the palestinians.they all should be put on trial soon. they are a permanent danger.

Let,s be honest here---Israel has no intention of ever making peace. That would mean the end of peace talks which more importantly and in turn would mean an end to the Illegal settlement Expansion on Occupied territory which in turn would be a total abbrogation of the Zionist,s comittment to A greater Israel as called for in the Likud Charter. Read Here "Likud charter * The 1999 Likud charter emphasized the right of settlement in "Judea (and) Samaria" (more commonly known as the "West Bank" and Gaza),"[8] and as such, brings it into direct conflict with Palestinian claims on the same territory. Similarly, their claims of the Jordan river as the permanent eastern border to Israel and Jerusalem as "the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel," do the same. The 'Peace & Security' chapter of the 1999 Likud Party platform ?flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.? The chapter continued: ?The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state.?[8]
