Palestinian families homeless as Israeli military demolishes West Bank houses
![]()
Israeli military bulldozers on Tuesday demolished 23 houses in two impoverished southern West Bank villages, including structures that were home to more than 100 people.
The demolitions, one of the most significant in recent memory, occurred in a controversial Israeli-designated military area known as Firing Zone 918, which comprises approximately 115 square miles (300 sq km) and was declared restricted by the Israelis in the 1970s.
The action came despite a long-running and internationally high-profile campaign to protect the eight villages in the zone, including a petition signed by some of the world’s most famous authors.

Another war crime- conducted against a helpless people by neoZionist fascists with the benefit of American funding and diplomatic support.
Not all of this funding comes from the US government, of course, but money that does come from the US tax-payer filters down to support illegal activities such as this.
Other funding comes from ' Israel Firsters ' in America who smuggle huge sums to neoZionist extremist groups for the purpose of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The current US government openly deplores neoZionist policies yet continues to give US tax-payers dollars , by the billions, to the Israeli military. In itself this breaches America's commitment to the principles of its UN membership. Time for change. Big change- not just a different millionaire's ass on the Oval Office chair.
