Israeli Occupation Apartheid Regime Forces Abduct 19 Palestinians, Demolish Homes and Property, Illegal Settlers Squatter More Lands

Editor's Note:

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of David, Solomon, and Solomon's son).

After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Israeli occupation soldiers demolished, Wednesday, three Palestinian homes, and a hairdressing salon, in Silwan town, in occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank, the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) has reported.

Khaled Abu Tayeh, a member of the Silwan Land Defense Committee, stated that the soldiers demolished two homes, owned by Samer and his brother Suleiman al-Qaaq, in Ein al-Louza neighborhood.

Abu Tayeh added that the two Palestinians started removing their furniture and belongings from the properties a few days ago after all appeals were denied.

In addition, the soldiers demolished a home, owned by Sharif Amro, in addition to a hairdressing salon, owned by Omar Sheeha, in the same neighborhood.

The army claimed the demolished buildings were constructed without permits from the City Council in occupied Jerusalem.

The policy of home demolitions is an act of collective punishment illegal under International Law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
