Israelis Leave 13,000 Palestinians Homeless

The Israelis claim that they are destroying the houses of terrorists: The UNO is complaining about the policy
13,000 Palestinians have been left homeless after their homes were demolished by Israeli bulldozers, a policy which began at the beginning of the Intifada in September 2000.

The United Nations Relief and World Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) stated yesterday that the number of demolitions has been increasing in recent months, with the average monthly rate increasing from 30 to 74 homes. This policy has left 12,737 people homeless in Gaza and the West Bank.

The UNRWA tries to find funds to build shelters for those affected, many of whom are innocent women and children. The Israelis claim that they are destroying the houses of terrorists and that the message should be clear that all those engaging in terrorist activities will lose their homes.

However, the UNRWA has claimed that those who suffer most are not the guilty, but the innocent and that most demolitions are made at night, without warning. The geographical location of the demolitions is also suspicious: many are in areas bordering Israeli colonies or along the border with Egypt, where a security fence is being erected by Israel

Easy solution

I have an easy solution to this particular delema that the Arabs are experiancing.

Don't send your children out to kill the Jews in their homes, buses, schools, and coffee shops then they will not have a reason to punish you for your crime.

Teaching your children to kill when lives are not in jeporody is a crime in every developed country and you must expect to punished. Its time the Arab leadership learn this and change their actions.

Stop ALL aid to israel thus saving several countries many billions annually and starving the most heavily militarised country in the world.
Complete boycott of all trade with israel - we don't want their supermarket carrots and parsnips grown on stolen land using stolen water.
Complete cessation of all flights and travel to israel.
Complete cessation of all academic, sporting, artistic, cultural and scientific links with israel.

The above to be restored only when all illegal settlements are demolished (preferably with the occupants inside) and a complete israeli withdrawal from all illegally occupied territories.

Easy and the only way.

Kelly is the only non-crazy person here.

To the person above, Israel tried "getting the f*ck out of Palestine" but Hamas kept right on attacking and declaring that they won't stop until Israel is gone. They will kill jew after jew until they accomplish this, even if it takes a thousand years.

Arafat didn't stop them when he had the power to. Now he doesn't. So now Israel is going after them, as necessary.

Here’s my advice to the Palestinians. Change your tactics. Instead of hoping the Arabs destroy Israel. Give the Palestinians the courage to stand up to their own leadership. Persuade them to oust Arafat and to retrieve the millions of dollars in aid that he pocketed while his people languished. Tell them to deny the terrorists access to their homes and villages. Help them take back mosques and schools from preachers of hatred and incitement. Find a Sadat
