In het BBC World Service (propaganda) radionieuws van 1.30 u. (CET) gisteren het bericht dat Israël toestemming heeft gegeven voor de bouw van 3.000 extra huizen bij de illegale nederzettingen op de West Bank

In hetzelfde bericht vertelde de nieuwslezer, dat Israël één ‘illegale’ illegale nederzetting heeft ontmanteld….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Dat soort nederzettingen bestaat voor het overgrote deel uit één caravan en een paar auto’s van fascistische zionisten, zeg maar het meest fanatieke geteisem dat er in Israël rondloopt…….. U snapt ‘t al, die laatste toevoeging werd niet in het BBC bericht gemeld…….

Op dezelfde dag bracht Stan van Houcke een bericht, middels een brief gericht aan zijn adres, o.a. over de toestand in Oost-Jeruzalem, waar Palestijnen de ene na de andere aanzegging van de illegale Israëlische autoriteiten krijgen, dat hun huis zal worden gesloopt, dit daar het illegaal gebouwd zou zijn…….. Zoals u al kon lezen, maar toch nog maar opgemerkt: een illegale autoriteit, daar oost-Jeruzalem onder Palestijns beheer valt*, een autoriteit die de rechtmatige bewoners van een stad vertelt, dat ze op moeten zouten. E.e.a. zou de reactie van Israël zijn op een aanslag van een Palestijn op Israëlische soldaten, deze Palestijn kwam uit Oost-Jeruzalem…….. Overigens een manier van handelen, die werd ontwikkeld door de SS……..

Een beschrijving van schokkende Israëlische terreur >> bericht van Stan van Houcke:

Brave B'Tselem

Dear Stan,

Last
month, the Jerusalem
Municipality notified some
40 families from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabal al-Mukabber
that it had begun proceedings to demolish their homes, on the grounds
that they were built without permits. Since then, dozens of families
have received similar notices. This vindictive action – in response
to an attack committed by a resident of the neighborhood who killed
four soldiers and injured 13 others – forms part of the
municipality’s broader policy toward residents of East Jerusalem, a
policy of constant harassment in place of fairness and basic
municipal services. Obtaining a permit to build a home in the
Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem is a near impossible
task.

In
the Batan al-Hawa neighborhood of Silwan, also in East Jerusalem,
Palestinian suffering is doubled. In addition to longstanding neglect
by the municipality, the area is currently the site of the
largest expropriation
campaign in
East Jerusalem. With the help of government ministries and the
municipality, the Ateret Cohanim association has filed eviction suits
against 81 Palestinian families who have lived in the neighborhood
for decades. Settlers have already seized control of 27 housing
units, most of which had been home to Palestinian families. Last
month we published regular updates on
the unbearable reality of life that residents of the neighborhood
have been subjected to due to the presence of settlers, who are
accompanied by police and Border Police forces, as well as
state-funded private guards.

These
are just two examples of what is happening now in occupied, annexed
East Jerusalem. In these and other cases, Israel is working to impose
its control and to harass and expel Palestinian residents of the
city. These efforts are relentless. All arms of the state – the
Jerusalem Municipality, the police, the State Attorney’s Office,
and the courts – are complicit in this shameful process of
expropriation. All of us share the obligation to change this reality.

Israel destroying Gaza’s fishing sector

Fishing
in Gaza has drastically declined due to Israel’s harsh restrictions
on access to sea, exporting catch, and importing raw materials. Of
only 4,000 registered fishermen, half are out of work as their boats
cannot be repaired. Those
that work risk being fired at and arrested by the Israeli navy, and
having their boats confiscated.

Deir Nizam: 2 months of collective punishment after fire in nearby settlement

In
late November, a fire broke out near the Halamish settlement,
apparently due to arson. Since then, the
military has collectively punished nearby Palestinian village Deir
Nizam, although its residents were accused of no wrongdoing.
The village was placed under a 3-day unofficial closure and movement
in and out of it is restricted with roadblocks and patrols.

Israeli security forces shoot and kill 17-year-old fleeing from them

In
December, Israeli security forces killed Ahmad Hazem ‘Ata Zidani
(a-Rimawi), 17, and injured N.R., 25, during a raid in the village of
Beit Rima near Ramallah. CCTV
footage and
B’Tselem’s investigation indicate that while the two had thrown
stones, they were not endangering the forces when shot and the
firing was unjustified.

Not only Umm al-Hiran:  Israel continues to demolish homes in Jordan Valley shepherd communities

Last
year saw a massive spate of demolitions in dozens of the poorest,
most underprivileged Palestinian communities in the West Bank. Israel
appears to be continuing this policy unabated in 2017:23
jan: 13 people, incl. six minors, left homeless in ‘Ein
Karzaliyah.3
Jan.: 29 people, incl. 15 minors, left homeless in Khirbet Tana.2
Jan.: 78 people, incl. 58 minors, left homeless in Wadi Esneisel and
Bir al-Maskub, north of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement.The
aim of these actions is to expel Palestinians from areas that Israel
wishes to control, facilitating their annexation in future. Read more
on B’Tselem’s special blog, Facing
Expulsion.

Israel cannot shirk responsibility for Gaza electricity crisis

In
January, a financial dispute between the PA and Hamas heightened
Gaza’s electricity crisis, and more than 1.5 million residents had
power for just 3-4 hours a day. The issue was temporarily resolved,
but Gazans continue to suffer severe power shortages for
which Israel is directly responsible.

Military shoots non-dangerous teen, fails to inform parents of his whereabouts, shackles him in hospital

On
10 November, soldiers shot A.Z., 15, after he threw a stone at their
fortified watchtower and began removing sandbags placed there. The
military took him to hospital in Israel without informing his
parents, where
he was held under military guard for four days.

B’Tselem in the media

The
Washington Post: Israeli settlements grew on Obama’s watch.
They may be poised for a boom on Trump’s.

It didn’t have to be this way in East Jerusalem’s Silwan

* Waar opgemerkt moet worden, dat Israël in feite niets te zoeken heeft in Jeruzalem, ook het overige deel van Jeruzalem is in feite illegaal bezet door Israël……..
