Palestine :

If you wanted to know what a week under Israeli occupation looks like, this should help:

Destroying farm lands:

A number of Israeli tanks and bulldozers invaded farm lands located near the northern Gaza Israeli borders on Wednesday morning.

Famers told local media that tanks and bulldozers uprooted some trees and destroyed farm lands. They added that tanks opened fire at nearby, no injuries were reported.

Ethnic cleansing:

The Israeli Jerusalem municipality announced on Wednesday that it had finalized all the preparations needed to demolish 50 Palestinian-owned homes in Jerusalem.

The homes are located at Al Bustan neighborhood just outside the old city of Jerusalem. On February of this year the Israeli Jerusalem municipality announced plans to demolish 88 Palestinian-owned homes located at Al Bustan neighborhood.

The municipality says the homes are built without permissions.

Since Israeli occupied the city of Jerusalem in 1967 it has rarely given Palestinian residents of the city permissions to built homes.

The municipality legal advisor told the home owners on Wednesday that the 50 home will be demolished by a private Israeli company this summer, but gave no exact date.

Violence by illegal settlers:

Israeli settlers supported by military units have been bulldozing Palestinian farm lands that belongs the villagers of Sartah near the northern West Bank city of Salfit.

Local sources reported on Wednesday that the settlers have already destroyed 50 Acers of land; the famers say the bulldozers uprooted olive trees which is their main source of income.

Sartah is located near the illegal Israeli settlement of Burkan , an industrial Israeli settlement originally built on lands stolen from the villagers of Sartah.

A Week In Palestine

And this is from our collaborationist friends in Egypt:

The Palestinian Ministry of Health of the dissolved Hamas government in Gaza reported Monday evening that a 70-year old man died of kidney failure after the Egyptian Health Ministry refused to recognize transfer papers to an Egyptian hospital.

But the Palestinians remain steadfast and as one of their own once wrote, “All that you have done to our people is registered in notebooks.” This applied not only to the Zionist occupation but to those corrupt Arab regimes who support them and also abuse the Palestinians.
