Excellent reporting by Joel Greenberg from the occupied territories on people who have nowhere to go:
The Israeli troops and bulldozers arrived in the early morning and quickly got to work, tearing down shelters made of plastic netting and poles that had served as homes for about 100 people in this impoverished Bedouin community in the parched Jordan Valley…
The desolate scene reflected the state of the neglected Palestinian communities of the Jordan Valley, an area that amounts to more than a quarter of the West Bank but remains largely under Israeli control, with wide gaps between the resources allocated to Palestinians and Israeli settlers.
Greenberg talks about Netanyahu’s desire to keep the Jordan Valley forever as a military defense zone. How long before these claims are debated and exposed? Thanks to Ali Gharib.
