A new collection of data released by Israeli NGO B’Tselem shows that the Israeli government dramatically increased the number of Palestinian homes demolished in the portion of the West Bank that is under full Israeli control.
The data reveals that in the so-called “Area C” region demolitions of Palestinian homes tripled in 2010, with 86 homes destroyed compared to only 28 in the previous year. The demolitions left nearly 500 Palestinians homeless.
The United Nations added to the data by saying that the number of demolitions of agriculture structures, especially cisterns used to collect rainwater, were dramatically up in the region over the previous year.
Shlomo Lecker, a lawyer who has filed cases on behalf of Palestinians in the region, said that the rise is chiefly because the “Civil Administration” authority that oversees the moves is stacked with settlers, who believe that Palestinians should not be allowed to build at all in the region.
Murder the residents and steal their lands – it is what Israelis do!
They alway cry that people are against them because of their religion but I sure have to wonder why they
do not stand up and complain. How many years did we have to listen to the cry that the world was silence as they were mistreated in europe. The silence of the jewish people on the stealing of arab homes sure tells the truth. If it was wrong for the world to be silent in wwii then it is wrong for God's chosen people to be silent in the abuse of the homeowners being forced to be homeless to place a jewish person into the home. Shame on those that are so silent but so loud when using it for their personal benefit.
