Israeli authorities to demolish eight Palestinian villages

[Abu Mus'ab al-Maldifi]

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered the demolition of eight Palestinian villages in the West Bank and the expulsion of the residents on the grounds that the land is needed for military training.

The demolition order includes the villages of Majaz, Tabban, Sfai, Fakheit, Halaweh, Mirkez, Jinba, and Khroubeh, all located in the South Hebron Hills.

The resident of these villages are known as “cave dwellers” since they live in caves manually carved hundreds of years ago by shepherds and farmers that lived in the area. The villages, therefore, preserve an almost-extinct lifestyle that sheds light on part of the Palestinian culture.

This completely unacceptable, but not at all surprising. Another way for Netanyahu to apply pressure and try to force recognition of a Jewish State from the Palestinians, manipulate the possible outcomes of any peace talks (US backed...haha), etc. Enough.
