A Green Line?

About the destruction of Palestinian homes by the Israeli government. The most recent homes to be destroyed were in the planned green park community area in the valley between the Palestinian refugee camp and my neighborhood. It's the valley across from which they shoot at us from time to time. The "homes" demolished were unoccupied and uninhabited, devoid of furniture, household or personal goods or anything else (virtually empty shells). The "families" all had homes elsewhere and it is in thoise homes they lived. they had built illegally, knew it, in an area (set aside for a public park) that no legal process would have afforded them positive relief. And they had been recipient of years worth of municipal and legal notice and process. no one snuck up on them in the dead of night and gave them seven minutes to collect all of their wordly goods and get out of the way a dawn surprise destuction of the homes in which they lived leaving them homeless and all of their possessions trashed. Sent by: Howard Linett (via e-mail).

CFPA: Too often (almost always) the liberal left-wing press only tell half the story which is usually Palestinian propaganda.
