As you can see from the embedded video, they are using fire instead of bulldozers this time, probably due to the crowd gathered to stop them. The sign on the house you see in the foreground says, "I am on Reserve army duty," so he was unable to be present and defend his home. This occurs today, on the 70th Anniversary of the UN vote to recognize a then-as-yet-not-declared State of Israel, and in the next town over from my own. I am disgusted.

“It’s time the Israeli government recognize the fact that Israel controls every part of this land.”

The Israelites didn’t fare so well the first time when they didn’t assert all of their God-given rights to the land after Joshua died. I’m guessing that this won’t end up very well either.

>The Supreme Court in December 2016 ordered the destruction of Elazar’s Netiv Ha’avot neighborhood, after an unclaimed strip of land was found to run through it.

>In September, the State informed the Supreme Court that it supported the petition of the residents of six houses slated for demolition to have only the small sections of their homes which were built on privately owned land demolished. However, in October, the Supreme Court rejected the residents’ request and ordered the homes destroyed completely.

It’s not well known in America, but the Israeli supreme court has effectively taken control of their government. The leftists in Iserial no longer have the votes to rule the nation so they’re using judges and prosecutors to do so. They controlling the current president by the threat of corruption charges against his entire family and the supreme court is issuing direct orders to the Military as seen in this case.

There’s a decent chance of a civil war or coup in Iserial in the near future.

Words fail me. This is tragically sad. It also is 100% morally and politically wrong. This political echelon is leading Israel in a direction that is the complete opposite from the one that it should be taking.

Justices in Israel need to feel the will of the people, just like in the US.

What precisely is the concern with these houses that they need to be destroyed? Were they literally built in someone else's yard, or is this just a move to appease the international political apparatus?

I'm assuming conservative Israelis favor building in these areas and leftists don't. Is it as simple as that?

Has not the US administration put pressure on Israel too regarding some things? I’m not all for blaming the usual scapegoats. There is give and take in situations. And I do stand with Israel.

Horrible.
