Two ordinary demolitions: in Israel and the West Bank

JVL Introduction

On May 19th Israel demolished sixteen Bedouin homes in As Sirrah in the Negev (Inside the Green line. recognised as Israel) and on May 20th, destroyed the Al-Ameera park and its wedding venue in Beit Sahour just outside Bethlehem in the West Bank. The article, also from IMEMC, on the Beit Sahour demolition follows the first on the destruction of homes in the Negev.

This is so everyday that it does not make the news but Israel has already destroyed most of the open and green spaces in the Bethlehem municipality as settlements continue to expand.

Meanwhile the Bedouin in the Negev, who are legally full citizens of the State of Israel are treated in a similarly appalling way to Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  According to the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) “70 structures demolished in one day in the Bedouin village of As-Sira in the Naqab desert, last Monday 19 May 2025.  Among the demolished structures were 21 inhabited houses, 21 traditional sigh structures, at least 10 animal-related structures, solar panel systems and more. The entire village is slated for demolition, and the Israeli authorities have declared that in the following weeks, 200 houses will be demolished in the village.”  (My emph. Ed)

  • The evil of Keir Starmer and his cabinet in not publicly denouncing the total genocide being committed by the even, were it possible, more evil Netanyahu and his regime, should be exposed by every media outlet in the country. By not doing its job, could not the main stream media be accused of being as guilty of breaking international law as are those above ie. us, allowing the continuing supply of arms etc. to and support of Israel? Silence is one of the best weapons in Netanyahus armoury.

  • Now Starmer has been ‘critical’ of Israel after over 18 months (but still allowing them access to F-31 parts), just watch the PLP KS ultra loyalists (sycophants) follow the new line without new-found conviction or explanation for their own U-turns.
