WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT YOUR HOME IS SCHEDULED FOR DEMOLITION SHORTLY. YOU HAVE THREE (3) DAYS TO VACATE THE PREMISES PERSUANT TO CODE NO. 208.2A OR YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST. IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DESTROY YOUR HOME. ANYONE LEFT INSIDE IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Harsh? So is this reality: The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions reports about 25,000 homes have been destroyed by Israeli military forces since the Occupation of Palestine began in 1967. Hundreds more are currently slated for demolition, a number thats growing. After their homes are destroyed, Palestinian families are subjected to discriminatory bureaucracies that prevent them from obtaining legal permits for new homes, because of their ethnicity. This contributes to the already overwhelming Palestinian refugee crisis. Demolitions are carried out without warning, giving no opportunity [for residents] to salvage possessions. Amnesty International, 6 June 2010. The Israeli government is depriving Palestinians of the right to live in their own homes, says Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director of Human Rights Watch. Israeli authorities allow buildings that will benefit Jewish citizens while demolishing Arab houses next door. That obviously discriminates against non-Jewish Israelis, but officials havent given any justification for this clear difference in treatment between citizens. Rachel Corrie was an American peace activist working to stop illegal home demolitions in the Gaza Strip. She was killed while defending the home of a doctor from an armored bulldozer. It ran her over, then backed up again over her body. She was 23. The forcible removal of Palestinians from their homes is a direct violation of international humanitarian law. Israeli authorities must be held accountable for their human rights violations.
