Israel has been tearing down Palestinian homes in East Jeruselem.
Israel says the buildings didn’t have the proper “permits”. East Jeruselem is Palsetinian territory. Israel is occupying it militarily. So, the Palestinians and their government should be the ones to decide whether the buildings meet the local building codes, not Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel is demolishing Palestinian homes in Palestinian land so Israel can build more Jewish settlements on that Palestinian land and claim it as Israeli territory that cannot be part of a Palestinian state. These Jewish settlements have been consistently ruled illegal by the international community.
So, Isreal is tearing down Palestinian homes on Palestinian land because Israel says they are “illegal”, and then Israel uses that land to build Jewish settlements on Palestinian land that violates international law.
