Israel using bogus archaeological digs as cover to take Palestinian land, British government says

[Lamar]

[quote]LONDON: Israeli settlers are colonizing Palestinian territory under the guise of moving in to areas to protect historic archaeological sites, the British government has said.

Ministers say they are concerned that the Israeli government agency in charge of preserving historic artifacts is undermining efforts for peace in the region by working with a group of "radical" settlers.

The "Elad" settler group is known for aggressively colonizing Palestinian areas, including evicting Palestinian residents from homes in urban areas.

[quote]Last week Elad settlers are reported to have entered an East Jerusalem apartment building lived in by Palestinians and removed the belongings of the people who lived there.
The resident of the building, a woman, at been summoned to a local police station for questioning at the time.
In a statement the group said the properly belonged to them and that it was had "exercised its rights".[/quote]

I don't care what they are pretending to do. Forcing people out of their homes and claiming it's yours from then on is low. These people deserve no respect.

I'm surprised that this came from the UK, of all places. We're not on the same level as the USA but we tend to be neutral, leaning towards Israel when it comes to this.

We are? For what purpose. We don't have the crazed republican "Israel can do no wrong for they are God's Chosen" lot here though.

I find it really sad that the Isreali government is essentially the largest antisemitism enabler in the world.
