Scaber Nestor

Alla känner vi nu vid detta laget till vad som hänt/händer på gazaremsan, över 1300 döda, en tredjedel barn.
till detta hör 230 fabriker som förintades tillsammans med ett 50-tal skolor och 23 moskéer som antingen skadades eller jämnades med marken.
För civilbefolkningen resulterade Israels aggression med 100.000 hemlösa och 20.000 förstörda hus.
Ambulanser, FN-byggnader, sjukhus, universitet attackerades, ja listan kan göras lång.
(och jag försvarar fortfarande inte Hamas, jag står på civilbefolkningens sida)

Detta var vad som skedde mot befolkningen som inte stillasittande accepterade Israels palestinapolitik.




Vad hände då med Västbanken?
Eftersom de inte gjort motstånd borde inte de ha belönats?

Nope, enligt Peace Now (Israelisk anti-krigsorganisation) så tom intensifierades utbyggnader och bosättningar på ockuperade områden under 2008.
Låter fredligt, eller hur?

Land confiscation

Despite government declarations that no new land had been confiscated, Peace Now learned of a number of decisions and orders whose practical meaning is the confiscation of new land and its transfer to state ownership, in the amount of 275 dunams (of the land of al-Khadr near the settlement of Efrat, of the land of Hussan near the settlement of Beitar Illit, of the land of Brukin near Ariel and the land of Al-Uddeisa near Hebron).
