US Congress 'Shocked' to Discover Demolitions in West Bank Aren't New
The mainstream reports Israeli forces are back at it in the West Bank's Khallet al-Daba, carrying out demolitions that Palestinians rightly equate to a 'new Nakba.' What's consistently omitted from most Western headlines is that this isn’t 'return' - it’s continuous. The UN recorded over 9,000 structures destroyed in Area C of the West Bank since 1988, displacing tens of thousands. This isn't a
new development, it's a persistent policy funded, indirectly, by US tax dollars and enabled by a political class that feigns ignorance. While AIPAC-backed politicians express 'concern' over 'escalation,' the historical record shows this 'escalation' has been ongoing for decades—a slow-motion ethnic cleansing that consistently flies under the radar until it reaches a new, tragically predictable
peak. One might wonder, how many times must a Nakba 'return' before it's simply recognized as policy, rather than an isolated, regrettable incident?
