The Israeli government has ordered a number of Palestinian families to immediately evacuate their West Bank homes pending the military demolishing those homes as part of their “punitive demolition” program.
Israel had scrapped the programming for years, beginning in 2005, under international opposition, but has brought it back amid new tensions with Palestinians, vowing to take revenge against the families of any “suspected terrorists” allegedly involved in deadly attacks.
According to the Israeli military, the Palestinian civilians get 48 hours to challenge the demolitions in court. If the court rejects the challenge for any reason, the house will be immediately destroyed.
Israeli human rights groups are harshly critical of the planned resumption of demolitions, noting the plan was scrapped in no small part back in 2005 because it didn’t work as a deterrent.
HA HA HA "GOD BLESS AMERICA FOR MAKING THE ZIONIST TOO STRONG" to control even the US GOVERNMENT.
"…it didn’t work as a deterrent."
Would that that was a reason for doing it. It isn't. They do it because they can get away with it – and do…and also because they deny the humanity of the Palestinian people altogether.
Coming soon, again: punitive assassinations for being Palestinian.
Hebrew Old Testament commands
“The one who sins is the one who must die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son.” Ezekiel 18:20
“If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure to lift him up, him and his donkey.” Exodus 23:4
I wonder how many Israeli homes they will demolish in revenge for the jewish lynching of a Palestinian on a bus. Israel is looking more and more like Mississippi in the 19th century only worse. Of course the Israeli "justice" system said it was suicide while the man's family knows otherwise. I guess the over 500 children, many only infants, slaughtered during Protective Edge also committed suicide.
In Israel there is a self-righteous sect, one that by virtue of their exalted righteousness and knowledge of the Hebrew Old Testament — is exempt from military service and is full supported financially by the government.
Problem is, never does it voice a complaint against the brutal imperialism of their fascist government, nor has it ever quoted Old Testament Scripture to point out what a dead creed is their religion.
A bipartisan resolution in both houses of American Congress congratulating Israel for the decision can be expected soon.
