Nine homes, five tents and five animal pens were demolished, said Mohammed Rabia, head of the village council in the area.

COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for administrative affairs in the occupied West Bank, said it demolished the buildings because they were built illegally in an area designated as a closed firing zone.

Palestinians have long said that securing Israeli permission to build in the West Bank is nearly impossible.

    Zionists are just Nazis. They would have been Nazis if they were born in Germany in the 1910s and 20s.

    They’re just the same, and they provide anti-Semitism more reason and justifications than it deserves to have.

    Arab countries have every right to have different rules against Jewish people in their countries now, and this is just generally horrible for peace in the region.

    To think that the world just watched the end of Palestine. Shocking.

    Not really that big of a deal (/s), it’s far from the first time that they’ve demolished swaths of homes to ensure the Palestinians have nowhere to live once they won an appeal to regain their land.

    I done seen them doing it with my own eyeballs.

    It’s atrocious, for sure, but it’s far from unexpected. I’m glad lights are still being shone on this fuckery.

      if there ever even was a god, they pretty obviously don’t care about any of this. there’s most likely no heaven and no hell either, which is why we need to fight for justice here and now.

      Which are you referring to? There are still thousands of Palestinian people in Israeli detention, many indefinitely with no charges, including hundreds of children.

      Another way to look at it is that Kamala would rather lose than stop supporting this.

        these comment and bringing her up in every other post is an attempt to divert conversation from the main issue.

        1. this is a genocide.
        2. this is in the west bank.

          It’s an attempt to keep idiots from allowing fascism to take over again.

            Yeah, it would’ve been great if the Democratic Party did fight against fascism taking over instead of prioritizing material support for the genocide.

              You guys are literally better for the GOP than trump voters .

              You didn’t just aid one genocide abroad, you enabled several at home too.

        She didn’t support this. That’s not the same thing as magically stopping it, though. Trump does support this.

          Jesus Christ man. Very few people have any real power to make a difference in this genocide, and she was one of them.

            Do you not know what the Vice President does? It’s a ceremonial position. Harris couldn’t do shit unless people actually voted for her.

            She had no power to do anything, and people like you made sure she never would.

              Homie, she was campaigning for president. That is a position where people tend to make their positions loud and clear. Not only is the electorate listening, but absolutely other world leaders are paying attention.

              She ran for President and could have announced her withdrawl of support for Israel during the election. She chose not to and that’s on her.
