Israel ‘to raze 88 Palestinian homes’

Press TV – 19 November 2010

Israel has ordered demolition of around 88 Palestinian homes in the East al-Quds (Jerusalem) neighborhood of Silwan, Palestinian officials say.

Israeli Attorney Yehuda Weinstein ordered the destruction in al-Bustan area under the pretext that they were illegally built, said Ahmed al-Rowaidhi, the chief of al-Quds Unit at the Palestinian presidency.

“Israeli will evict 1,500 Palestinians from al-Bustan to make room for a tourist center in the area,” Rowaidhi said.

The Palestinian official further added that Weinstein’s order may affect 20,000 homes in East al-Quds.

He also warned that Israel will displace around 100,000 Palestinians from East al-Quds if it implements its demolition threats.

Israel occupied al-Quds in the 1967 war — a move not recognized by the international community and the United Nations.

Meanwhile, Israel reportedly plans to sell 3,000 new settler units in al-Quds next year after Tel Aviv approved the construction of 1,300 units in East al-Quds.

  1. If the Zionazis would come to evict me from my home to destroy it, I would join the ranks of the Fedayeen and purchase the best available Kalashnikov with enough ammunition to do what my right and duty is to do.
    Have the neighboring Arab States all become blind cowards not to realize what Zionism has up its sleeves? This cancer will spread to all Islamic States unless the sleepy Arabs wake up and fight.

  2. Usually people will choose
    life & family, over land
    and move on.

    The zionists new
    this & drove them from the land

    with threat of massace.

    When they hold your loved one
    hostage you’ll leave.

    We’ll win
    with the truth, not arms.
