Israel Plans More Demolitions: 'Self-Defense' Never Looked So Much Like Land Grabbing
Al Jazeera reports Israel will demolish 25 homes in the Nur Shams camp, affecting 100 people. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a continuation of systematic policies. Since the 1967 occupation, Israel has demolished over 55,000 Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Gaza, according to the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICHAD). Each 'security' justification conveniently expands
settlements or stifles Palestinian growth, all while the international community offers tepid 'concern.' While US politicians lament humanitarian crises, they simultaneously approve arms shipments. In September 2023, Biden announced $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, funding weapons used to enforce these very policies. How many more homes must vanish before the 'security' narrative becomes
undeniably clear: it's about control, displacement, and turning a blind eye to illegal actions with US taxpayer dollars? One might wonder how many more bipartisan votes for aid will be cast before anyone questions the actual outcome.
