EU demands Israel nix demolition of illegal Arab town
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1/6/18 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 06/01/2018 12:05:20 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

The European Union demanded that Israel cancel plans to evict Bedouin squatters from illegally-erected structures just east of Jerusalem, and condemned a planned housing project in the area for the Israeli town of Maaleh Adumim.

Israeli authorities recently announced plans to demolish the Bedouin encampment known as Khan al-Ahmar.

The illegal community, which lies entirely in Area C under full Israeli control, was established without any building permits. The encampment is located in the strategically important E-1 area between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim, one of the largest Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria.

Israel also recently approved housing permits for 92 new units in Maaleh Adumim on the edge of E-1.

In a statement Thursday, the 28-member European body claimed the demolition of the unauthorized Bedouin encampment was “illegal”, and constituted a “forced transfer”.

Next they'll wonder out loud why it's taking so long to demolish Netiv Haavot in Elazar.

I regret that I have but one finger on each hand to respond to the EU.

Took ‘em 18 months to remove the heroin junky camps from behind Angel Stadium.

They didn’t have guns. Well, mostly.

Just big buckets of poop.

“EU needs to feel important”

HA! Sorry. Too funny. Can we horn in on their treatment of Gypsies or Basques? We need to feel important, too.

Yeah? Well- I demand that the EU stop demanding things- So there!

Both of our demands are equally authoritative

Relating anything the EU “demands,” is about as worthy of posting as is anything to do with the NFL.

Pet peeve - “demand” gets so overused and misused these days.

The EU is in no position to “demand” - beg, please, urge, implore, or something like that should be used, but not “demand”.

The EUNazis ate working overtime attacking the Jewish people - in the Jewish homeland, no less. It is long past time for Jerusalem to just tell the Brussels Nazis to go stick their heads in a toilet! Now If only the good Germans and French and British and Swedish and Italian people will wake up, too. And tell the EUnazis to GTH — and repatriate the islamonazi invasion of their countries.

Oddly, when the illegal settlement to be demolished is Jewish, the EU doesn’t seem to mind. If I didn’t know better, I might assume the worst about their motives.

That was over a year ago. Netiv Haavot is due to start coming down soon, per High Court order, and that’s the next town over to me.

European hatred for Jews didn’t disappear in 1945. It just switched party labels.

The U.S.A. should demand that the EU shut up. Israel is not a member of the EU and is not obligated to obey its commands.

On what basis does the EU have the right to "demand" anything of Israel?

I demand that the EU stop issuing demands.

What Israel should do is offer all Palestinians a plane ticket and money to move to Germany. Build an airfield in Gaza and the West Bank, give a timeline when people can leave and then put a plane down. Anything else that tries to land there will be shot out of the sky.

Let the EU grapple with that one.

The UK Brexited, so now we have to demand it of the EU ‘cause Brexit hasn’t been implemented, and of the UK against the day that it is. So, #FreeTommy, surrender monkeys and unworthy heirs of better men.

It went dormant, and then they imported a more virulent strain. This is EU politicians pandering to their new constituency as they systematically suppress and oppress their old. #FreeTommy, wankers.
