On the same Sunday, the Organization and Construction Department at the Israeli Municipality in occupied Jerusalem announced approved construction of 9,000 settlement units in “Atrout” settlement established on Qalandia and Beit Hanina village’ lands, north of occupied East Jerusalem. According to the Israeli Civil Administration Commission, thousands of new settlement units will be constructed over 600 dunams in-lieu of Jerusalem’s abandoned international airport. IOF seized these lands in the 1970s. It should be noted that the Israeli settlement expansion plan in Atrout was laid out years ago, but it was frozen more than once due to international political pressures rejecting Israeli settlements in lands occupied in 1967. Jerusalem’s international airport was located on Qalandia lands, north of occupied Jerusalem and it was the oldest airport in Palestine as it was constructed in 1920 during the British mandate of Palestine on an area of 650 dunams. Until the Israeli occupation in 1967, the airport was used for tourism and commercial purposes from and to Jerusalem before the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000.

The soldiers deployed in the area while the Civil Administration officers dismantled a barrack built of bricks on an area of 100 sqm, used for grazing sheep and it is owned by Riyad Abdul Karim Ghayad al-Salamin. Before IOF withdrew from the area, the Civil and Administration officer handed al-Salamin a paper of the confiscated items. Israeli authorities also handed al-Salamin a notice called “stop destruction of archeological sites” on 11 December 2020.
At approximately 10:00 on Wednesday, 09 December 2020, IOF backed by several military vehicles and accompanied with Civil Administration vehicle stormed Khirbat al-Jawaya, east of Yatta, south of Hebron.

IOF’s settlement expansion activities on Palestinians’ lands, resident of Khirbat al-Jawaya are unable to conduct any construction in the area.
 
b. Israeli Settlers’ Attacks

The land is owned by brothers Shaher and Ali Mohammed Theeb Yaseen. Ali Theeb Yaseen said to PCHR’s fieldworker that his eldest son headed to al-Karm eastern area, east of the city to check on the olive trees planted a month ago. He found the fence cut off and olive trees uprooted as settlers uprooted 42 olive trees from his land and 13 olive trees from his Brother’s land.

At approximately 14:20 on Friday, 04 December 2020, an Israeli settler stormed the Church of all Nations or Basilica of the Agony located at Mount of Olives, east of occupied East Jerusalem, and attempted to set fire into it before the church’s guards and the area residents interfered. They extinguished the fire and caught the settler and handed him to the Israeli police. According to the church’s guard, Fadi al-Moghrabi, a settler poured diesel and attempted to set fire into some seats in the church. However, some civilians intervened and prevented him. Al-Moghrabi emphasized that fire caused damage to some seats and the floor.

According to the spokesperson of the Fire Department, 4 crews arrived at the place; luckily, the fire did not spread throughout the church, but it was full of smoke.
It should be noted that the Church of all Nations or Basilica of the Agony is located at the Mount of Olive in Jerusalem near “Gethsemane” Garden and it was built above the rock where Christians believe that Jesus prayed before his arrest and crucifixion. It is noteworthy that the church was built between 1919 and 1924 and funded by several countries. The church is distinguished by its facade as it is backed by a row of pillars and a mosaic painting on its top that symbolically portrays Jesus as the link between God and mankind.

On Saturday morning, 05 December 2020, a group of Israeli settlers from “ Rahalim settlement” established on Yasouf village lands, east of Salfit, cut off 38 olive trees in al-Mahawer area, southeast of Yasouf area using an electric saw.

Again, despite Moon's attacks, in the past I agreed that Israel has been excessive in some of their responses, especially in the past few years.

OTOH, I've yet to see you, Moon or any other Lefty condemn terrorist attacks and the murders of Israeli innocents with the same vigor as you condemn the Jewish nation.

Add to this a very salient fact: Palestinians have no industry. In WWII the B-26 was nicknamed "the Flying Prostitute" because the wings were so small it had no visible means of support. Same goes for the Palestinians. They aren't shitting Semtex. They aren't growing rockets in their gardens. They are being supplied these weapons of terror from external sources. Again, no complaints from the Left because they don't care if a few Jews are murdered. They don't see the need to stop the flow of arms into the region which is why they rarely, if ever, discuss it.

What weapons are being used in the Israel-Gaza conflict
Palestinian rocket arsenal
Hamas and other, more radical Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip have built up an arsenal of basic rockets which over the years have steadily increased in range. This is an important factor. None of them are particularly sophisticated.

Most are based upon Soviet-era technology and are artillery rockets that were designed to be fired in large barrages rather than individually.

Some were imported through the smuggling tunnels from the Sinai; some are constructed in workshops in the Gaza Strip, though many of these may still depend for key parts on components from Iran or Syria smuggled in through the self-same tunnels or by other methods.

Again, despite Moon's attacks, in the past I agreed that Israel has been excessive in some of their responses, especially in the past few years.

OTOH, I've yet to see you, Moon or any other Lefty condemn terrorist attacks and the murders of Israeli innocents with the same vigor as you condemn the Jewish nation.

Add to this a very salient fact: Palestinians have no industry. In WWII the B-26 was nicknamed "the Flying Prostitute" because the wings were so small it had no visible means of support. Same goes for the Palestinians. They aren't shitting Semtex. They aren't growing rockets in their gardens. They are being supplied these weapons of terror from external sources. Again, no complaints from the Left because they don't care if a few Jews are murdered. They don't see the need to stop the flow of arms into the region which is why they rarely, if ever, discuss it.

Approx 100 thousand have been killed by Israel's existence.
The vast majority being Arabs & not Jews.

You claim ' innocence' for illegal invaders ?
Again- Palestine has the right to self defense. The occupation is illegal. You are supporting criminals.

I stand for the under dogs. I condemn all violence against innocents. Israel gets all the support, the support is horrendously lopsided. The Palestinian innocents do not have the support, so Israel gets away with their crimes for 50 years. Bibby should be in prison.

There it is. You think every Jew in Israel is an "illegal invader". Sorry to burst your little antisemitic, liberal bubble, but over 70% of the Jews you hate so much are native born. Didn't you once support pushing all Jews back into the Sea? Or was that some other LWL?

Americans like underdogs. Do you support the terrorists in Michigan? They're underdogs. :)

Consider this; if the terrorists would quit terrorizing, the reigning authorities would have no cause to counter-attack or preemptively attack them. It works the same in Israel as it does in the US, Iraq and Germany.

Again, I only see Israel as a strategic interest like the UK in 1940.

Palestinians aren’t terrorists, so your premise is flawed.

Silly prosemitic fucker. EVERY Jew in Palestine is there illegally whether the bastards were born in Izreal or not. Palestine is illegally occupied.

Lol, no it is more like Ireland used to be.

Tit for tat between Irish Catholics & Ulster Protestants.

Ulster being more like Israel the abusers & colonists.

Of course most Americans like power, they like guns, bombs & wars.

Why else would they mock out French & Polish allies.

While love the of Israeli enemies of the USA?

When are you going to pick up a weapon and start killing the Jewish invaders? ....or doesn't your support include risking your own fat ass?
