The Israeli bulldozers are being kept busy in Jerusalem. Orders for another 36 demolitions have been issued.
And still we hear no condemnation from the west, just 'concern'.
Palestinians in the Sahel area near the old city have set up a protest camp on the ruins of the last house in the area and to protest the proposed demolition of an apartment block. A word to the zionist criminals: when a Palestinian responds by attacking one of your policemen by driving a truck into a car please don't call it terrorism. The case of Sharif Attoun who asked a friend to demolish his home rather than waiting for the Israelis to do it was highlighted by Reuters this week. Palestinian's have to pay the Israelis to demolish their own homes - how sick is that?
When Palestinian Sharif Attoun asked bulldozer driver Ziad Dabash to flatten his home in Arab East Jerusalem, his friend was heartbroken.
But for Attoun, watching his 13-year-old house being demolished by a friend was a lesser evil: If Dabash wouldn't do it, Israeli authorities would have, a move that comes with some $20,000 in demolition fees and possible imprisonment.
Attoun's ordeal is not uncommon among some 260,000 Palestinians living in Arab East Jerusalem who say Israeli municipal authorities in the city often deny them building permits. more
