Explosives and bulldozers destroyed dozens of homes, leaving many hundreds of Palestinians without a roof over their heads.<\/h5>\n<h5>During the operation, extreme force was used against residents, as well as international volunteers there in the forlorn hope that their presence would deter violence. Videos showed the soldiers cheering and celebrating as they razed the neighbourhood.<\/h5>\n<h5>House destructions have long been an ugly staple of Israel\u2019s belligerent occupation, but there were grounds for extra alarm on this occasion.<\/h5>\n<h5>Traditionally, demolitions occur on the two-thirds of the West Bank placed by the Oslo accords temporarily under Israeli control. That is bad enough: Israel should have handed over what is called \u201cArea C\u201d to the Palestinian Authority 20 years ago. Instead, it has hounded Palestinians off these areas to free them up for illegal Jewish settlement.<\/h5>\n<h5>But the Sur Baher demolitions took place in \u201cArea A\u201d, land assigned by Oslo to the Palestinians\u2019 government-in-waiting \u2013 as a prelude to Palestinian statehood. Israel is supposed to have zero planning or security jurisdiction there.<\/h5>\n<h5>Palestinians rightly fear that Israel has established a dangerous precedent, further reversing the Oslo Accords, which can one day be used to justify driving many thousands more Palestinians off land under PA control.<\/h5>\n<h5>Most western governments barely raised their voices. Even the United Nations offered a mealy-mouthed expression of \u201csadness\u201d at what took place.<\/h5>\n<h5>A few kilometres north, in Issawiya, another East Jerusalem suburb, Israeli soldiers have been terrorising 20,000 Palestinian residents for weeks. They have set up checkpoints, carried out dozens of random night-time arrests, imposed arbitrary fines and traffic tickets, and shot live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets into residential areas.<\/h5>\n<h5>Ir Amim, an Israeli human rights group, calls Issawiya\u2019s treatment a \u201cperpetual state of collective punishment\u201d \u2013 that is, a war crime.<\/h5>\n<h5>Over in Gaza, not only are the 2 million inhabitants being slowly starved by Israel\u2019s 12-year blockade, but a weekly shooting spree against Palestinians who protest at the fence imprisoning them has become so routine it barely attracts attention any more.<\/h5>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">On Friday, Israeli snipers killed one protester and seriously injured 56, including 22 children.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">That followed new revelations that Israeli\u2019s policy of shooting unarmed protesters in the upper leg to injure them \u2013 another war crime \u2013 continued long after it became clear a significant proportion of Palestinians were dying from their wounds.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Belatedly \u2013 after more than 200 deaths and the severe disabling of many thousands of Palestinians \u2013 snipers have been advised to \u201cease up\u201d by shooting protesters in the ankle.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Massacre-in-Gaza-2018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Massacre-in-Gaza-2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Massacre-in-Gaza-2018.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Massacre-in-Gaza-2018-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Donald Trump: Cheerleader for Israel\u2019s War Crimes<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cShoot the men in the legs!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Pelt the women with stones!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Blind their children!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Crush their bones!\u201d<\/strong><strong><em><br \/>\n<\/em>\u2014 Anon, <em>Israeli War Song<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5>B\u2019Tselem, another Israeli rights organisation, called the army\u2019s open-fire regulation a \u201ccriminal policy\u201d, one that \u201cconsciously chose not to regard those standing on the other side of the fence as humans\u201d.<\/h5>\n<h5>Rather than end such criminal practices, Israel prefers to conceal them. It has effectively sealed Palestinian areas off to avoid scrutiny.<\/h5>\n<h5>Omar Shakir,\u00a0a researcher for Human Rights Watch, is facing imminent deportation, yet more evidence of Israel\u2019s growing crackdown on the human rights community.<\/h5>\n<h5>A report by the Palestinian Right to Enter campaign last week warned that Israel is systematically denying foreign nationals permits to live and work in the occupied territories, including areas supposedly under PA control.<\/h5>\n<h5>That affects both foreign-born Palestinians, often those marrying local Palestinians, and internationals. According to recent reports, Israel is actively forcing out academics teaching at the West Bank\u2019s leading university, Bir Zeit, in a severe blow to Palestinian academic freedom.<\/h5>\n<h5>Palestinian journalists highlighting Israeli crimes are in Israel\u2019s sights too. Last week, Israel stripped one \u2013\u00a0Mustafa Al Haruf\u00a0\u2013 of his Jerusalem residency, tearing him from his wife and young child. Because it is illegal to leave someone stateless, Israel is now bullying Jordan to accept him.<\/h5>\n<h5>Another exclusion policy \u2013 denying entry to Israel\u2019s fiercest critics, those who back the international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement \u2013 is facing its first challenge.<\/h5>\n<h5>Two US congresswomen who support BDS \u2013\u00a0Ilhan Omar\u00a0and\u00a0Rashida Tlaib, who has family in the West Bank \u2013 have announced plans to visit.<\/h5>\n<h5>Israeli officials have indicated they will exempt them both, apparently fearful of drawing wider attention to Israel\u2019s draconian entry restrictions, which also cover the occupied territories.<\/h5>\n<h5>Israel is probably being overly cautious. The BDS movement, which alone argues for the imposition of penalties on Israel until it halts its abuse of Palestinians, is being bludgeoned by western governments.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the US and Europe, strong criticism of Israel, even from Jews \u2013 let alone demands for meaningful action \u2013 is being conflated with antisemitism. Much of this furore seems intended to ease the path towards silencing Israel\u2019s critics.<\/h5>\n<h5>More than two dozen US states, as well as the Senate, have passed laws \u2013 drafted by pro-Israel lobby groups \u2013 to limit the rights of the American public to support boycotts of Israel.<\/h5>\n<h5>Anti-BDS legislation has also been passed by the German and French parliaments.<\/h5>\n<h5>And last week the US House of Representatives joined them, overwhelmingly passing a resolution condemning the BDS movement. Only 17 legislators demurred.<\/h5>\n<h5>It was a slap in the face to Omar, who has been promoting a bill designed to uphold the First Amendment rights of boycott supporters.<\/h5>\n<h5>It seems absurd that these curbs on free speech have emerged just as Israel makes clear it has no interest in peace, will never concede Palestinian statehood and is entrenching a permanent system of apartheid in the occupied territories.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But there should be no surprise. The clampdown is further evidence that western support for Israel is indeed based on shared values \u2013 those that treat the Palestinians as lesser beings, whose rights can be trampled at will.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-sm-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-sm-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-sm-1.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-sm-1-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI\u2019m the best thing that could happen to Israel.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Donald Trump<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/criticism-crushed-west-israel-can-enjoy-its-impunity\/5684977\">Source<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2014\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a7\u00a0 \u00a0\u2014<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">*** Star Opening Comment by Yukon Jack ***<\/h3>\n<h5><strong>While engaged in the process of \u201csaving\u201d Israel, Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States. <\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>Israel is a demonic evil entity.\u00a0 It has Amerika by the throat. Israel is in the process of destroying the United States because it is a parasite, a vampire. Trump is their man. Trump\u2019s job is to serve Israel.<\/h5>\n<h5>All the \u2018Q\u2019 talk about Trump playing 4d chess is utter garbage. That is the psyop they are using to fool the goyim into believing that Trump is somehow working for the American voter. He is not, he is working for Israel.<\/h5>\n<h5>You cannot make Amerika great again by giving Israel everything it wants \u2014 and more.<\/h5>\n<h5>Israel is 100% opposed to all sovereign states. The Talmudics plan to destroy national sovereignty of all other nation states, leaving Israel as the sole dominant nation and all other countries as vassal states. This plan is well on its way to being achieved. Already Israel has manipulated the USA into smashing all the Muslim states around Israel, and already the Jews are flooding white nations with blacks.<\/h5>\n<h5>When Israel is done using the United States like toilet paper, Israel will then manipulate the USA into a war with Russia and\/or China, bringing them down. They are masters at this game, so you can expect them to be successful. Look at how much damage they have done to the United States.\u00a0 See for yourself how little resistance there is, if any, to the Israel lobby in D.C. There is none. Zero. Zip.<\/h5>\n<h5>Amerika is finished and doesn\u2019t even know it yet.<\/h5>\n<h5>Since Donald Trump favors Israel over the United States, you can be sure\u00a0 he doesn\u2019t stand a chance of making Amerika great again. Not that he ever intended to do so. Trump is grossly incompetent.\u00a0 Just read the remarks made about him by the British Ambassador to the US, Kim Darroch. Ambassador Darroch slammed Trump in the harshest diplomatic language \u2013 just go read the articles about Trump\u2019s competence. Trump has no idea what he is doing. He is a stooge of Jewish power. In my opinion, he is unfit to run a fast food joint let alone a country.<\/h5>\n<h5>The only way to save the United States is to destroy Israel and remove all dual citizens from inside the government. Israel and the United States cannot exist in harmony with each other. All these Evangelicals who love Israel, the 70 millions Christian Zionists who form Trump\u2019s support base,\u00a0 are guilty of treason \u2014 given that\u00a0 Israel definitely had a hand in 911.<\/h5>\n<h5>There is such a huge support base for Jews and Israel inside the United States that things, I fear,\u00a0 can only get worse for Amerika. As long as Big Jewry continues to hang around Amerika\u2019s neck like an albatross, there\u2019s no hope for Amerika.\u00a0 If you think otherwise, you are misinformed, delusional, and out of touch with reality.<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkmoon.me\/2019\/zionist-puppet-trump-gives-israel-a-free-hand-in-genocide-of-palestinian-people\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Cook on how Trump is a Zionst stooge.
