“The policy was largely suspended in 2005, after security authorities questioned its efficacy, but many Israelis continue to back it.”

Because the lust for bloodthirsty vengeance is not easily sated. And we support this fascist government with our tax dollars and never-ending cycle of wars…

Not in our name.

The development indicated that Israel is intensifying its much maligned policy of punitive destructions of homes of suspected attackers.

…Because the court system has apparently been reserved for Jewman Beings.

“Implicated”. Not convicted, charged, tried in court. Just a rumor that they might have done something wrong.

Poor, poor ‘victim’ Israel. Do they still wonder, or care, why the rest of the world is finally turning against them?

There has been a wave of settler attacks against Palestinians. I know, we all hear about the 3 Palestininians whose vehicles hit Israeli Jews. Why is it that we don’t hear about the 15 vehicular attacks upon Palestinians by settlers in the Hebron area this year? The Israeli police don’t even arrest the settlers in these vicious hit and runs.

25 to 1. That is the ratio of murdered Palestinians to Israelis.

Israel is illegally keeping 5,000,000 people without rights. Palestinians as young as five are routinely arrested and held without charges and are often brutally tortured. Israel could extend basic civil rights to Palestinians at any time but the average Israeli wants more extreme measures taken to solve the Palestinian problem.

As we speak Netanyahu is trying to push through new legislation that will make the courts have to favor Jewish rights over Christian and Muslim.

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions are needed to stop this racist regime.

When are we going to stop funding these horrible people! Israel does not need any “aid” from the US and all they are doing is attacking and torturing the Palestinian people! We need to stop this! They are monsters who just want to murder all Palestinians. We need to stop them! And, help the Palestinian people get out of their concentration camps!

[quote] said that four east Jerusalem homes belonging to relatives of Palestinian attackers had recently been visited by police, apparently in preparation for their demolition or sealing.[/quote]They don’t seem to be limiting it to just the homes of suspected attackers, but also the homes of those related to suspected attackers.

I don’t know about you, but this sure sounds like a sure fire way to de-escalate tensions to me. I mean I know if someone demolished my house because they suspected my cousin did something wrong it would leave me feeling nothing, but good will and cheer towards them.

Tearing down Palestine homes escalates tension!

Oh… wait.

That’s the desired outcome.

Make 'em retaliate so you can bomb them.

How sweet.

Mega-tit for tiny-tat. There is no justification for Palestinian genocide being carried out by fundamentalist Jews who are likely to be the ultimate destruction of Israel itself. Welcome to Armageddon. It won’t be televised.
