“Israel advanced plans for the construction of more than 4,000 homes in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a rights group has said, a day after the Israeli army demolished homes in an area where hundreds of Palestinians face the threat of expulsion.

There was no immediate Israeli government statement, but responding on Twitter to Peace Now’s tally, Israeli Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked called it “a festive day for the settlement of Judea and Samaria” – the names Israel uses for the occupied West Bank.

Israeli settlements are fortified, Israeli-only housing complexes built on Palestinian land in violation of international law. Between 600,000 and 750,000 Israeli settlers live in at least 250 illegal settlements in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.

Settler attacks against Palestinians and their property are a regular occurrence in the West Bank, home to nearly three million Palestinians.

On Wednesday, Israeli troops demolished at least 18 buildings and structures in the southern occupied West Bank following a Supreme Court decision that paved the way for the forcible expulsion of Palestinian Bedouin communities in Masafer Yatta.

Masafer Yatta is comprised of 19 Palestinian villages that are home to more than 2,000 people. The forcible transfer of the entire population would be one of the largest single displacements of Palestinians for decades.

“What’s happening now is ethnic cleansing,” Sami Huraini, an activist and a resident of the area, told the Associate Press news agency. “They are trying to expel the people from this land, saying they never lived here permanently, which is a lie.

The developments come a day after veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces during an Israeli army raid on the Jenin refugee camp. She was shot in the head while wearing a blue flak jacket clearly marked with the word “PRESS”. Al Jazeera said she was “assassinated in cold blood”.


Take people’s land just because you can. Terrible.
 
Some prescient Israelis said that occupying the West Bank (instead of returning it to Jordan) was a decision that Israel would come to regret.

Boy! Were they right!

Too bad the United States does not lay down the law: All Palestinians in Israel should leave (with generous payouts!), and all Israelis in the West Bank must return to Israel proper.

Um, west bank is a side of a river. Correct historical names are Judea and Samaria dating back to antiquity and used internationally until comparatively recently. “Jew“ is from Judea. Fakestinians are a recent invention with no land.

These are lies. Israel is taking land that does not belong to it in contravention to international law.

Let me edumacate you: Jordanians in 1948 seized what had been known internationally as Judea and Samaria, ancient Jewish names, and renamed them “west bank“ of the Jordan River. Oh and Jordanians didn’t call anything Palestine, because Arabs didn’t recognize any place by that name. Now, even you know.

Jews are permitted to build in Judea and Samaria, ancestral Jewish land. Fakestinians are a recent invention with no land.
