Israeli authorities force Palestinians to demolish their own homes

By Iqbal Tamimi

We are used to seeing the Israeli authorities demolish Palestinian homes, but what you do not know that Palestinians are forced to demolish their own homes by their own hands. How cruel can that be?
I have witnessed that myself years ago in the town of Halhul near my home town Alkhaleel (Hebron), but this crime is back more than ever.
First, the Zionist immigrants forced the Palestinians 1948 to flee from their homes after showing them what might happen to them should they stay, a number of massacres were committed by the Zionist gangsters who warned them if they stay they will be slaughtered like their neighbours.
Thousands of Palestinians left their homes, properties, lands, memories personal belonging and became refugees in other Palestinian towns and cities of the West bank, in neighbouring countries, and abroad in USA and other countries like South America and Europe.

This was not enough; Israel would not declare its borders because the plan is to expand further. In 1967 Israel occupied the West bank as well, and started again to force the Palestinians refugees and otherwise to leave, implementing so many different ways that an article would not accommodate the story, but one of such plans is to make life unbearable and impossible for every family to stay.

Palestinian families grow, their children as well, they need an extra room for the ones who are getting married or the one who is sick and can’t live in the same room with everybody else, but since Israel is controlling everything would not give them any permissions to make a door or open a window let alone build an extra room on their own land, they were forced to build extra rooms any way.

Some people could not stay idle after years of refusal of tens of requests for a building permit. Mosa Mashahreh was one of those who were forced to demolish his own home by his own hands few days ago. He was told if he would not demolish his own home, they will do that themselves and as usual they will send the Palestinian whose home was demolished the bill. Palestinians are forced to pay the demolition cost of their homes, and the bill for the Israeli CAT is very high that those unfortunate poor Palestinians are forced to demolish their own homes by their own hands to cut their losses further.

Mashahreh who is supporting a big family of 6 is now homeless and penniless now, and has nowhere to go after knocking down his home. On November 2, 2009 he sent a plea asking for help, his 48m square home which housed 6 people in the Sala’a neighbourhood at Mount Almokabber in Jerusalem is now a pile of rubble. He built his home 9 years ago because the Israeli authorities would not permit him to build, so he has sacrificed everything twice, for there no justice at all.
At a time thousands of illegal Jewish settlers are housed on stolen Palestinian lands, the Palestinians are deprived of a roof over their heads. This is the cruelest thing one can imagine and this is the so called only democratic state in the Middle East the Western politicians are bragging about.

Dear David

I hate to disagree with you since you think (But here we have one Semitic people denying the rights to another).
The Zionists who are living right now in Palestine are not Semites, they are Khazar Europeans and Americans, they used the Semite call to shut up people who will try to raise any questions like yourself.
The original Semite Jews who used to live in Palestine thousands of years ago reverted to Islam and Christianity. I am a Semite but none of them is......
This is the point that many do not know, how can a German, Polish, and Russian whose family reverted to Judaism only 300 years ago be considered a Semite?

I guess that they have ruthless mind... they want to do the biggest hurt because they feel fulfill an powerful . It seems that they enjoy when the feel the suffering of the Palestinians. It is really an ordeal to demolish ur own family nest, ur little space out of the streets hell because... anyway is ur warm space. Why anybody do anything???? I mean organizations or the UN itself??? why the call themselves United Nations??? Such a silly question to be answered. It is clear that in this world just few countries are united and everybody knows why. GORA PALESTINA ASKATUTA.

I suppose if I tried to write something even a little critical of Israel I would be called anti-Semitic. But here we have one Semitic people denying the rights to another. And this is wrong whatever that Hilary person said of denied saying the next day.
Expansionism can never work as it exists only by riding roughshod over others. What more pathetic a picture can there be than that of a person forced to demolish their own house rather than face the bill for the oppressor to do it. I bet they did not show Hilary that one.

I'll be tempted to go for the Samson option.

These aliens are predators, vampires and, ALWAYS (in any single act of them), Shylocks and exploiters. A true nightmare. We don't know, unfortunately, when the mornig will come. But the darkness of the night cannot be eternal.

The most worrying thing is something beyond expectations, while I was hearing interviews with Israeli soldiers they spoke English in perfect British and American accents, I hope what I have heard is wrong and that some young people citizens here and in USA travel to what seems like a summer camp to get them training to fight with Israel, and some actually have a double loyalty and double citizenship and they do call them to help whenever needed. In short they support the occupation. I wish if we can find about that.

I have never heard of anything more sick, the sickness in the soul of Israel knows no bounds, they are gorged with blood and evil, and guess where they learnt it from. Today is a sad day indeed when even Goldstone is not listened to, and America can ignore him, I feel sick, I do pray for something terrible to happen to Israel despite the pleas of peaceniks who say, but what about the poor arabs who live there, and the innocent israelis who work for Palestine? The emphasis for me is on poor. and Israelis. I see no other solution, the misery for Gazans could not be worse and somebody has to pay for this evil.

At times, the issues between Israel and Palestine seem hopelessly complex and everlasting. Iqbal Tamimi examines the inequality of home building rights that is the central pain for Palestine and the victory for Israel, Israelis are encouraged to taunt Arabs and chase them from coveted lands, even paid to do so by Israel and American zealots, while at the same time Hillary Clinton, the mouthpiece for empires vast and powerful declares with her usual air of conspiracy, that Israel is "unprecedented in it's offers to slow settlement growth as a concession to peace talks about a two state solution.

Maybe Hillary didn't speak with Iqbal Tamimi or Mosa Mashahreh, but them again, maybe she just doesnt give a shit for Palestine and sells the Israel assault of reason and human rights for empire and is as cold as ice to Palestine.

When political figures pronounce such absolutely lunatic assertions, after so many years of this unbelievably shallow mocking of justice from the pulpit of preachers like Dennis Ross, George Mitchell, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Hillary and the bigots at the American Enterprise Institute, AIPAC and their fund raisers from the global elite cadres of zionist power, one asks the simple question, does crime pay, do lies make hay and does bullshit tear apart Palestinian lives daily as Hillary sits in her queeny office and plies her wares to the zionist power configuration?

If we are considering the temporal Israel, it's weapons, politics and victories in the flesh of Palestine, the sad answer is , YES, crime has paid well eneough for Hillary the US UK and Israel, their upper echelons do well, but the underlying suffering of masses, after a war instigated world economic meltdown, the fallouts from Israeli aggression in Lebanon, Somalia, Sri Lanka, India and the US and the US aggression in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Somalia, the longer term prognosis as to if crime pays in the end is a grim faced stoney NO. Crime is not an asset producing act, it is a steep and immutable debt, that must be paid.

Criminals, tresspassing on Palestinian land that order, by threat of death, Arabs to demolish their homes while they, with the other hand, steal organs from corpses, rob citizens of many nations as constituents of their representatives , of an honest days work on their behalf, to serve the Jewish nation of Israel. This service is aidind and abetting high crimes against the international communities structures fro upholding the rule of law as that "ounce of prevention" that negates the need for vengeance ,taken to satisfy injustice in Jerusalem. If no just rule of law is applied and land is taken for Jews from Arabs, this is a crime and the implications of injustice, to Israel are none, if Justice is attempted, someone will die. this is Israeli justice.

What is done is done, Israel is a pariah, hated, scorned and mocked as a fakery of Jewish life and religion, an abomination to good Jews and an embarrasment to them and those they love who Israel punishes for not being Jewish.

If Mosa Mashahra was a Jew, would it have mattered of he had a permit or not? Of course is wouldn't. some way around the obstacle of paperwork would have been found, laws are pliable if plied in just the right courts in Israel. The flexible laws come out for Jews and the strictest and coldest heated laws come out for Arabs. This is discriminatory national prejudice which is racism on a national scale.


The man, Mr Goldstone, who prosecuted Nazis, prosecuted the pogroms against Jews, set the principles of Nurenberg up as gospel to end Warsaw Ghetto crimes against humanity was hailed as a goodly prosecutor by Jews them, but their selective memory now decies this man as a hater of Israel, biased and unfair, why, because he tells the truth about Israel and has proof of these truthts, so, to Israel he now is to be summarily dismissed as a radical, a nothing, a dog whose tail wags not for them.

When honesty and good judgment, just appropriation of the laws, fairness to every race color and creed and democracy that includes all citizens as equals are the banner of Israel, what is the debt described as the banners flies and under it the truth is that this banner of goddness and love applies only to Jews in Israel, which is against the laws and norms of civilised society and admit it or not, the Israel are acting as Hitler did, and the Gaza people are truly the Jews, in their ghetto, hounded, massacred and mancled to their fate by a world of witness to frightened of little baby Israel to save the semites in Palestine from their "Hitler" in the Knesst and US congress which runs the IDF, or should we call it the Fourth Reich.

Admit it Israel, what you are is sick and the debt is compounded with interest daily as new crimes are recorded documented and furthered in the courts of the ICC.

Sooner or later Israel must pay it's debt to Palestine, not lie, steal and kill her children and cities. as any "banker" whose storehouse is human souls, Israel's indebtedness to such a bank and banker is great, for this banker keeps a tally, very accurate and true to it's till,a reaper comes with papers of repossesion of Israel, the re-po reaper with sickle and threshing floor, ready to harvest what wheat there is and burn the chaff. Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. Does Israel listen to this banker?

Palestine is defensless to stop this tragedy of epic proportions and lies at the mercy of courts which dont convene for Palestine but rant to the heavens that Israel is "unprecedented in it's slowing of settlements to make peace, which is what Hillary?

A lie, another of millions of lies, each one, a debt.
