al-Khalayleh House Demolition, 12/6/11
Following the violent demolitions in Qalqiliya yesterday, and in Beit Hanina and Silwan Sunday, Israel continued its displacement of Palestinians throughout the West Bank today in occupied East Jerusalem.
On the day Israel announced a plan to forcibly remove 2,300 Palestinians from their homes, a demolition team arrived in al-Khalayleh, a small village in East Jerusalem. Two homes, an animal barracks, and part of a hardware store were flattened within hours. Palestinians watched as their homes were lost leaving 6 children and several adults homeless. Armed military and police guarded the area as bulldozers destroyed the structures.
One woman was visibly crying during the demolition of the second home. When asked if the home was hers, she answered “no, my uncle’s.”
The ethnic cleansing of non-Jews from Palestine began in 1948 during the creation of the State of Israel. Sadly it continues today through housing demolitions, apartheid laws, and the refusal of Israel to observe the Palestinian right of return as guaranteed by UN Resolution 194 Article 11.
Some background.

It appears that Israel is accelerating its destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank. One house at a time and maybe nobody in the west will notice. This sounds like those supporting the “transfer” option in the Israeli government are pushing their agenda. After all, where will these displaced Palestinians live? My read is that the current Israeli government is getting desperate.
Perhaps it is part of the plans for attack on Iran. Most sensible observers agree that such an attack will create a major international crisis. Is Israel setting up an international war that will cover up a big ethnic cleansing operation?
As long as the Palestinians remain inside Israel, their demands for justice will be heard.
They WILL continue demolitions in East Jerusalem.
No amount of the UN paper-Resolutions will stop them from doing that.
Thats’ a big part of grandiose plan.
Its the PA who wants ethnic cleansing.
