Israeli forces have destroyed dozens of buildings, homes as well as a school, in the occupied West Bank this week, targeting the village of Khirbet Tana, just south of Nablus. The UN reported 41 buildings destroyed overall, saying the demolitions are at their highest level since 2009.
The village is located within a Israeli military “firing zone,” which means it is illegal for the civilians to build homes there, but since they are herders and own the land for grazing livestock, they also can’t realistically leave. This has led to repeated rounds of military crackdowns, demolishing buildings.
This is a recurring problem across the occupied West Bank, where the Israeli military has designated about 18% of the overall land as “firing zones” for the purpose of training, and subsequently made a large number of Palestinian towns and villages “illegal.”
Israel has been accused of using the “firing zone” declarations as a way to remove Palestinians from certain areas, with an eye toward preventing a contiguous Palestinian state from being possible in prospective peace talks.
Herzl, the founder of Zionism is reported to have said the following about the Balfour Declaration. “We will accept half a leaf and take the rest later”. That has been the intent of some of the founders of Israel from day one. Why should anyone be surprised?
Herzl was already dead when the Balfour Declaration was given to Lord Rothschild
What else is new??
Israel already owns all of Palestine except for Gaza.
Sorry but if all you know how to be is a subsistense farmer those days are long gone
Just as in the past, when a more advancedb echnologicl People’s have need for resource extraction or living space that primative culture eitherlearns to co-exist or die.
As is the norm today, evenv in US the more affluent and white gentry(or their modern day indoctrinated Blacks and Browns dressed in white mans clothes) deliberately impoverish an area; then under the white mans Eminent Domain the primative occupants are welfared or forvibly removed, and then enter white gentry of finance and government employ.
Europeans sat on butts as US NATO AND ALLIES destroye homes buisness’s and drovevprimative Arabs from Iraq and in moved thenWhite Gentry of Europe finance and Paid by Government and Industry thevwell salaried NGO employees.
it is way of world and RT will not print of it as it is accepted and is much the same in Russiaas as oligarchs drill, dig, tear down and rebuild and destroy their less sophisticated subjects lives and properties.
Actually, this world has but one purpose, to reach the ultimate conclusion of the glory and power of wealth, whereupon, all things will turn toward the good.
OUR VOTING MAJORITY — ARE THEY DRIVEN BY HATE?
The white supremacist hate group in the U.S. that is the most hate filled, violent, nasty mean and vicious, this is the educated upper-half of society. For they are almost totally white and so filled with hate toward the uneducated lower-half that they strive to enslave by poverty the laboring-class lower-half.
And so fascist violent are these 150 million white supremacist haters, that they hire the politicians best qualified to create a police state to terrorize and kill the impoverished laboring men who revolt against such slavery.
It may be worth your time to try getting the message out to ISIS and others who seek revenge against the US for what it has done to the ME. They most likely don’t understand any distinction between you and your country. Sad that it’s only about 90% to 95% of the people who stand guilty of crimes against humanity because of their complicity in those crimes.
This will only stop when revenge attacks against the US become so costly that it’s not worth it to protect and uphold the evil Israeli regime. And then it is even doubtful because the US will likely not accept it’s comeuppance by ISIS or whatever organization it is that is currently seeking revenge.
Israel is the consummate capitalist state. The powerful steal the property of the poor and the violence involved in the process is seen as an investment
You have a vivid imagination (or a weak ethic as regards honesty). There are no rules here against opposing Zionism.
Fine. Then explain why my posts have been deleted. I’ve been a regular reader and poster now for eighteen years.
Often when your posts are “deleted,” they aren’t. Deleted, that is. We have filters that automatically “hold” posts which look like spam or which trip certain keywords that may , but do not not necessarily, indicate hate speech. When that happens, I look at the “held” comments, delete those which are spam or which do contain hate speech, and approve those which aren’t and don’t.
I’m tempted to hold out for a “please,” since I don’t owe you any explanations, but hey, I’m in a good mood today:
Criticize Israel all you want. Criticize Zionism and Zionists all you want. Jew-bait, and your comments — and eventually you — are out of here.
