Human Rights Watch reports 'serious violations' in Israel, Palestinian territories

Annual report lists Israel's blockade of Gaza Strip, settlement expansion in West Bank, and home demolitions in East Jerusalem

In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Israel had demolished (by November 1) some 467 Palestinian homes and other buildings, displacing 869 people, the highest number in five years, the report said.

The report also sharply criticized Israel for detaining 164 Palestinian minors. It also mentioned settler violence and vandalism and what it said was lack of action by Israeli authorities against it. The United Nations reported 377 attacks by settlers last year that damaged Palestinian property, including almost 10,000 olive trees.

The report also mentioned new legislation passed by the Israeli parliament, including one law making "calls for boycotts of Israeli settlements" as a civil offense, and another which "penalizes cultural, academic, or other institutions or municipalities that commemorate the Nakba (catastrophe)" - the Palestinian term for the dispersal of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians as refugees in the 1948-49 war that broke out after Israel was established.

The HRW report, though welcome, only appears annually. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reports on abuses every week . That's because they occur daily.

These atrocities are made possible by means of American money. It is taken from the taxpayer and given to the Zionists irrespective of the views of the donor. This must change. Americans should not be bankrolling fascism.
