Happy Thanksgiving. How much more information do we need about the current Israeli regime? Where is Obama’s outrage? Oh he can’t muster any, doesn’t have it in him. Remember Nir Rosen calling Israel a “rogue apartheid state”? What kind of people do this kind of thing? Reflect that the Jordan Valley, where many of these demolitions are happening, is the “security zone” Israel claims, unilaterally, endlessly expanding. Note too the military response to the popular committee members– arrests for protesting landgrabs. Where are the American Jewish organizations rising up and saying, This must stop? From Joseph Dana’s blog:
Israeli forces demolished Palestinian homes in the Jordan Valley and the South Hebron Hills today in what seems as a wave of demolitions following yesterday’s demolitions all across the West Bank. Non-violent leaders from Beit Ummar have also been arrested in night raids. Grassroots organizers Mousa and Yousef Abu Maria were arrested from their homes as harassment continues in Beit Ummar
After carrying demolitions in the villages of Qarawat Bani Hassan near Salfeet, al-Jiftlik in the Jordan Valley and Hizma near Jerusalem yesterday, Israeli bulldozers returned to the Jordan Valley today. At 6:30 this morning, Israeli Civil Administration bulldozers accompanied by soldiers and armored military jeeps entered the Jordan Valley village of Khirbet Yarza, east of Tubas, and demolished the village’s mosque, a houses and four animal shelters. The demolitions rendered eleven people homeless.
