Israel to demolish 56 year old Bedouin village and replace it with town for Jews

[quote]Israel's ministers voted in a special cabinet session on Sunday to demolish an unauthorized Bedouin village and replace it with a religious Jewish community.[/quote]
[quote]The village of Umm al-Hiran was established in 1956 as a place of residence for Bedouin from the Abu-Alkian tribe who had left a site near Kibbutz Shoval in the northern Negev, apparently due to conflicts with a neighboring clan. Umm al-Hiran is now home to about 500 people, but like other Bedouin villages that lack official recognition as local municipal communities, it lacks infrastructure and electricity.[/quote]

Its sad that I have to write this disclaimer, but a few Israel apologists may attempt to argue that its their own fault for not having permits. They'll be neglecting to mention that Israel discriminates against Arabs when it comes to obtaining permits though.
More Nazi shit from Israel. This isn't even Godwin anymore. Or surprising. Can't even be properly outraged, I'm out of energy by now.
Israel, you're not doing yourself any favors by doing this. David Ben-Gurion would be so disappointed.
Israel is truly the new reich.

in all reality, I've kind of resigned myself into believing there's no real hope for a peace deal in which Palestine doesn't get the short end of the stick. of course we could broker it but only if we threaten to cut the aid we give. but that's largely unpopular in congress...

Funny enough, Congress is also largely unpopular last time I checked.

problem is, even though we can't make up our mind over whether or not we want to keep the buggers they still stay. "enacting the will of their people." mainly their donors.
This is disgusting, I'm sick of hearing such news, it is obvious that they want to eradicate Palestinians and make it a Jewish-only land, I fail to understand, why were no actions taken against Israel so far?
Netanyahu is only doing this due to America's willingness to negotiate with Iran. Israel considers America's recent advances with Iran as a betrayal and as indication that the Israeli-American deal is broken (America promised to handle Iran if Israel showed flexibility in Palestinian peace talks), but now that the Israeli military option on Iran is off the table as as an Iranian strike would piss the international community off due to Iranian willingness to negotiate, Israel is furious and is punishing America by fucking over the Palestinians.
Israel is war hungry nation with nothing other their own expansion in mind. They need to be cut off from the international community as the state has no legitimacy.
You don't have permits for this, but we didn't mind for 56 years.
Israeli government being criminals, what a suprise

As per the thread a few days ago they allowed a whole apartment building to go up illegally before it was torn down so it's pretty clear they didn't care much until now.
gotta have that lebensraum
Wow. I actually read this on the front page saying 'Israel to demolish 5...' and I thought they were going to demolish 5 of their own illegal settlements as a gesture of good faith.
Why was I so optimistic.
[QUOTE=The golden;42827040]If the entire world wasn't keeping a close eye on Israel they would probably commence violent ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians immediately. As it stands, they can only do it non-violently by forcing them off their own land.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call it none-violent if they're using force.

less violent, if we dont count the occasional killings, beatings, usage of CS, and incendiary agents.
dont get me wrong, i'm friends with a couple IDF members i met a while back, i enjoy trading for manot kravs. but i mean even they doubt the morality of it.

Most of my friends who serve (are stuck in) the IDF heavily disagree with what's going on, including myself.
I try to rationalize some of these decisions but shit like this is inexcusable. I realky want to gtfo of here as soon as humanly possible.
Nuke Israel pls
And some people in the last thread about Israel said I was being anti semitic by saying Israel is a shitty place (I said nothing about jews being shitty: I don't think that)
The sooner they realise they're losing support by the day the better; the government is only going to tear their own country apart if they keep going this route.

Lets nuke a country with almost 8 million people in it just because their Gov't is doing something most don't agree with. Grade-A plan you have there.

It wasn't funny either way.
Fourth Reich rises!
Of all the races/religions to be assholes to everyone else you'd think that Jews wouldn't be that way...But you karma's a bitch

Keep your head down buddy, don't want any of you guys getting hurt.
I always found the quote by metro's khan to be true.
"You reap what you sow, Force answers force, war breeds war, and death only brings death. To break this vicious circle one must do more than just act without any thought or doubt''
edit:
Whoops thought you said you were IDF also :v:
Allthough this is very sad, I am more scared about the eventual backlash that will erupt as a result from these things.

What are they going to do after they take all of Palestine?

It was unassigned, also known as illegally built. It's not like Israel is making legal exceptions to only discriminate against non-Jews, rather than uphold a law meant for everyone. What exactly do you think will happen if we found a huge Native American settlement back when the English first came to the Americas? We'd take it down and replace it with our own settlements? God, we must all be the new Hitlers!

It's far from the morally correct thing to do[/I], but do understand history repeats itself and this is merely a repetition, not a sign of Hitler's second coming. No millions of people are being slaughtered, just a few illegal constructions on unpurchased property being taken down.

Nah, not entirely true. From what I know, (having lived there) the lesser-religious make it by fine although the highly religious do get discriminated against, sadly enough. The Israeli government are fucking far from being saints, but they aren't anything comparable to what some of you are saying.
