New demolitions in Jordan Valley
Jordan Valley Solidarity | 21 February 2011
Khirbet Yerza is a small village with few dozens of inhabitants. It used to count hundreds of inhabitants before the 1967 occupation as its underground is full of water and thus very fertile.
Today Khirbet Yerza is an area considered by Israel as a military training area. It is also very isolated. Only one dirt road goes there, and it is very hard to access with a normal car.
Three months ago, the army destroyed many houses and even the mosque. Last Thursday, around 20 soldiers and 2 bulldozers came to destroy Yerza again.
Soldiers told a 70 year-old woman that she has to move to Tubas. Fifteen years ago the army told her to go to Khirbet Yerza when she was living in Al Maleh. “Where can I put my cows in Tubas ?! They will have to shoot us here if they want us to leave !”
They destroyed the ground of the mosque that was demolished 3 months ago. People had cleaned the area and put carpets on the ground to pray at the same place. But the army destroyed even this.
Fourteen structures were demolished, among them tents that were given by the Red Cross three months ago.
Some families had taken off the roofs of their barracks before the army arrived in order to save some materials. But soldiers saw some hidden metal sheets and drove over it in order to destroy it
A Palestinian journalist was there during the demolitions and took pictures of the scene. The soldiers beat him and confiscated his camera.
Most of the families living in Khirbet Yerza own the land and have lived in this area for more than 100 years.
All the families of the area received a new demolition order before the army left the place .

UK Researchers: Tax Food to Reduce Climate Change
I doubt these professors have anything to fear from a food tax
By Eric Worrall | Watts Up With That? | November 19, 2016
A group of researchers in Oxford University, England have suggested that imposing a massive tax on carbon intensive foods – specifically protein rich foods like meat and dairy – could help combat climate change. […]
This proposal, from a group of people who have probably never missed a meal in their lives, is totally obscene. High income countries often have a lot of poor people who would be hard hit by increases in the price of food.
Needlessly exacerbating the risk poor people don’t get enough to eat, especially children and pregnant mothers, who are especially vulnerable to adverse health impacts from lack of protein in their diet – if this ghastly proposal is ever implemented, future generations will look upon it as a crime against humanity. – Read full article
