Israeli Forces Demolish Homes in the Occupied West Bank

Israeli forces demolished two homes under construction in a town west of Salfit, in the central occupied West Bank.

Local sources told the Wafa news agency that military bulldozers demolished the two houses in az-Zawiya, which belonged to local Palestinians.

The agency also reported Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinian civilians at the Hamra military checkpoint, in the northern Jordan Valley, while a mosque in Khirbet Tana was attacked by settlers.

Settlers entered and vandalized the mosque and smashed solar panels that generated electricity for it.

The Israeli cartoonist, Amos Biderman, explained in an interview with The Times of Israel that he meant this above illustration to suggest that Mr. Netanyahu’s “arrogance” and policies on settlement construction in the West Bank had provoked “a disaster in Israel-US relations on the scale of 9/11.”

It is against international law for an occupying force controlling a territory to allow its own citizens to take land. Netanyahu just ignores international law. He also just takes US military and economic aid and then tells the president and his staff to f—- off. Israel is now run by the equivalent of MAGA.

The Biden Administration sanctioned at least four of these Settlers, but this was ineffective and too late for these two poor guys.

As you pointed out, this land-grab didn't start in 2024.

Also aljazeera has been publishing pro-hamas/hezbollah articles since last year, I consider them far right, for example:

‘Spirit of resistance’: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar

Justin Trudeau is a nauseating hypocrite

Happily, Joe Biden is finished
Aljazeera slinging the bullshit.
https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/11/27/happily-joe-biden-is-finished

Maybe the sources used at DU don't matter I guess because Aljazeera is a far-right "news" org that has a lot to say about the US.

They killed a 14 yo boy and the "settlers" lost their shit.

I wonder how the settlers got so radicalized?
