Jewish Settlers Evict Elderly Palestinians - Truly Inhuman


www.huffingtonpost.com
Jewish settlers forced their way into a disputed house in east Jerusalem on Tuesday, using hired guards to evict an elderly Palestinian woman and tossing the other residents' belongings into the rain-swept yard.

Grenimann said 29 members of the al-Kurd family lived in the house evicted on Tuesday. Some of them had settled there after they were evicted from another house in the same neighborhood...

It's like white 'settlers' (militia) claiming they have a court order invading the home of a black person, and throwing them out in the street. I don't know about you, but it's not up to the 'settlers' to enforce a 'court order' at the point of a gun, that is the job of the police.

Firstly, it's not "Palestinian Territory"- its East Jerusalem, which is governed by Israel and has a mixed Jewish (some Arab, some Caucasian) / Muslim community.

Secondly, why is this controversial? The Israeli Supreme Court (which has Muslim Arab judges sitting on it) ruled in favour of the property owner. Do people kick up such a stink when the US Supreme Court evicts someone from a property they don't own and don't pay rent on? Or any other country for that matter?

Look getting evicted from one's home is a terrible thing to happen to anyone, but let's get one thing clear - it's not unique to Israel, it happens all over the world every day. The fact that it is held up as incontrovertible evidence of the "inhuman" actions of Israelis is what gets on my nerves. And NOT because everything the Israelis do is excusable or perfect, but because such logic is simply not objective, it is emotionally subjective.

Absolutely, if it's a legitimate court order, it is the job of the local police to enforce, not self-righteous armed rabble.
