January 10, 2007Twenty one Palestinian homes were demolished yesterday by Israelis.... Why??? Because they were there. No other reason!
The occupier considers the residents of this particular area as 'trespassers'...Does that sound right??? The OCCUPIER considers the RESIDENTS as trespassers!!!
It is winter here.... 21 Bedouin families are without shelter... this despite "the recommendation of the Knesset Interior Committee to stop razing the homes until an alternative housing solution has been found for the residents." So who authorised it? Are we living in an anarchistic society? Is anyone answerable to this horrendous travesty of justice? Someone should be....
But, we are talking about Palestinians... a people without rights, without proper representation, and now, without homes...
The following is from HaAretz.... it briefly describes the ugly situation....
A NATION OF HOMELESS PEOPLE
Gov't razes 21 Bedouin homes built on state land in Negev By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent
The Interior Ministry and the Israel Land Administration on Tuesday raised 21 Bedouin homes built on government land in the Negev.
This is the second time that homes in the Al-Twail village have been raised in recent weeks. Residents of the village had rebuilt the homes that were destroyed in the last round of demolition.
Seventeen of the 50 homes in the village were knocked down last month, leaving 12 families without living arrangements.
The Land Administration considers the residents trespassers and is refusing to help them find a new housing solution. The residents dispute the government's claims, saying the houses were built on land they own.
The demolition of the homes in Al-Twail was carried out against the recommendation of the Knesset Interior Committee to stop razing the homes until an alternative housing solution has been found for the residents.
