"IDF Demolishes Palestinian Homes in West Bank, Violating High Court Ruling"
"Israeli forces and three masked, plain-clothed individuals demolished Palestinian homes in the West Bank's northern Jordan Valley, despite a High Court ruling earlier this week that demolitions there must be frozen until further notice"
"Israeli authorities demolished on Thursday a Palestinian residential compound in the West Bank's northern Jordan Valley, two days after the High Court of Justice ruled to freeze demolitions in the area until further notice.
Israeli security forces and officials from the Civil Administration, Israel's governing body in the West Bank, entered the Palestinian community of Ein al-Hilweh while accompanied by three masked individuals in civilian clothes, at least one of whom was armed."

Her utøves statsstøttet planmessig etnisk rensing, i suveren forakt for lov og rett.
Voldelige "bosettere" overtar Jordandalen, med israelske ungdomsbander og geiter som våpen, se artikkel i The Guardian 14. januar 2026, se Kilde:
‘The settlers brought the violence’: the ethnic cleansing of a West Bank village
Utdrag:
"The campaign of forced displacement here is run from small outposts where teenage boys and a few adults manage flocks of sheep, goats and camels.
Taking land by building homes and communities on it is slow and expensive. Taking control of large swathes of dry hills by bringing in animals and using them to intimidate, isolate and bar Palestinians is much more efficient."
"The foot soldiers in this war of Israeli expansion are young men, including minors sent to outposts by the state under a programme for at-risk youth."
Konklusjon i artikkelen:
Den etniske rensingen er organisert og statsstøttet. Og de kriminelle blir ikke rettsforfulgt.
"Israeli Settlers Have Found a New Way to Abuse Palestinian Shepherds: Bankrupting Them"
"This
week police impounded 700 sheep, claiming they had passed through a
forbidden zone. To retrieve the animals the shepherds paid 150,000
shekels to the settlers' regional council."
Det er i den israelske avisen Haaretz dette beskrives den 27. januar 2004, se Kilde. Ytterligere innsikt er det hos "Jordan Valley Solidarity" også den 27. januar, se Kilde:
"Shooting camels, arresting livestock and digging children’s graves – Al Nakba continues in the Jordan Valley"
Israel tar i bruk alle mulige virkemidler for fordrive palestinerne fra Jordadalen. Det er rart at denne etniske rensingen får fortsette uten nevneverdig oppmerksomhet. Hvor ligger svikten?
This Israeli Eco Settlement's Problem Isn’t Tourists. It Is Abuse of Palestinians

According
to Meirav Moran’s greenwashing article in Haaretz, the ecological
settlement of Rotem in the occupied Jordan Valley has only one problem.
Alongside its amazing views, mud houses and diverse array of residents –
who run the gamut from religious to secular Jews, and didn’t come to
settle the land, but “to see a full rainbow and the rising of the moon,”
as they put it – tourists have also discovered this site.
But
for the Palestinian shepherding communities that live there and earn a
meager living from the pastureland in the northern part of the valley,
the problem is local Jewish settlements like Rotem:
Through them Israel realizes its vision of annexing the valley de
facto, perpetuating control over its land and water resources, and pushing out the Palestinian residents.
The
high road to achieving the latter goal passes through unending abuse of
the Palestinian shepherds by the state and the army, using all the
means at their disposal, in cooperation with local governments and, at
the least, the turning of a blind eye when it comes to Jewish residents,
until the Palestinians finally give up and leave.

The
lives of the Jordan Valley’s herdsmen have been affected for decades by
the restrictions Israel imposes on them. These restrictions prevent the
sustainable development of these Palestinian communities, the
construction of houses suited to their needs and the hook-up to local
water and sewage infrastructures.
Due
to these constraints, the Palestinian residents’ existence has
deteriorated to a level resembling that of people who are undergoing a
humanitarian crisis due to a natural disaster. But in this case, the
humanitarian crisis is the work of human beings – a direct result of the
policies implemented by successive Israeli governments for years.
Just
a few minutes’ drive from the ecological settlement of Rotem, Israel is
demolishing wretched tents and shacks inhabited by Palestinians almost
every week, on the grounds that they were built without a permit, or in
an army firing zone
or a nature reserve – or in some other part of the 85 percent of the
Jordan Valley that Palestinians are barred from using on various
pretexts.

Israel’s Civil Administration in the West Bank
confiscates tractors and tanks that the herders use to transport water,
since Israel has prevented them from being hooked up to water mains.
And even the few Palestinian residents of the valley lucky enough to be
allowed to buy water from Israel’s Mekorot Water Company get only a
trickle.
The Civil Administration’s bulldozers have also destroyed solar panels serving the Bedouin community of Khirbet Humsa.
The Palestinians aren’t ecological in the Israeli environmentalist
sense, but they must have a solar energy system because Israel doesn’t
let them connect to the electricity grid.
The Jordan Valley settlements aren’t just a theoretical problem, as implied by a Haaretz editorial
last week. They are the direct cause of numerous examples of concrete
damage done to specific individuals and to their communities.

Over
the last six years, ever since the settlers began the accelerated
construction of their own herding outposts – or “agricultural farms,” as
they are euphemistically called – the level of harm Israel causes to
Jordan Valley Palestinians has been ratcheted up a notch. Violence seems
to be the business model for these outposts.
And
even though the outposts were ostensibly built against the state’s
will, they are being entrenched with generous government funding,
perched on the tips of Israel Defense Forces bayonets. Effectively, they
serve the state as yet another, unofficial, tool for implementing its
policies – much like the Civil Administration’s bulldozers.
This
space is too small to describe the scale of violence Palestinian
shepherding communities in the northern Jordan Valley are suffering from
local settlers, who are funded and armed by various Israeli government
agencies. The settlers patrol the Palestinian enclaves, attack herders,
threaten and also expel them, with the IDF's help, from places that in
the past served as their pastureland. Every new outpost established in
the area further restricts the lives of Palestinian shepherds, making it
even harder for them to care for their flocks and support themselves
with dignity.

Many
of the attacks are filmed by the herders themselves or by Israeli
activists who come to offer assistance and to report on events. The
information is then disseminated via social media and sometimes even by
mainstream media. The footage is thus readily accessible to the settlers
of Rotem if they would like to know what's going on.
The
best contribution Rotem’s settlers could make to the environment would
be for them to stop denying this reality while parroting cliches like
“the left-wing organizations ... come from outside and generate
provocations.” Taking responsibility for their own contribution to
injustice would be a first step toward changing this brutal reality.

Det har lenge vært klart at IDF misbruker de lover som gjelder for krig og okkupasjon til å opprette skyteområder på Vestbredden ... slik at man kan pressse ut de palestinere som bor der.
Dette er nå dokumentert ved funn i israelske arkiv av opplegget Ariel Sharon sto for i Hebron-området. Der skrives det i klartekst hva formålet med skyteområdet nr 918 omkring landsbyen Yatta var for:
"40-year-old Document Reveals Ariel Sharon's Plan to Evict 1,000 Palestinians From Their Homes".
"Minutes of an 1981 ministerial meeting indicate that Sharon, who would later become Israel's prime minister, proposed allocating West Bank land to the Israeli army for the sole purpose of forcing Palestinians out of their homes."
(Haaretz 9.8.2020)
Egentlig skal lovene som gjelder her beskytte de okkuperte ... og ikke så å si å beskyte dem.
Det er graverende slik metodisk å misbruke internasjonal lov som IDF gjør.
Utkastelsen av palestinerne prøves fortsatt for israelske domstoler.
Israels Høyesterett har hatt denne saken oppe til avgjørelse siden år 2000.
Men har latt tiden gå uten å ta noen endelig beslutning.
Det er egentlig den største skandalen.
Norge har et spesielt ansvar i denne konflikten.
Derfor må UD markere det norske synspunkt tydelig når misbruk dokumenteres som her.
"Netanyahu Says Palestinians in Jordan Valley Won't Get Citizenship After Annexation"
"Palestinians 'have to recognize that we are the ones dictating security rules over the entire territory,' prime minister says." (Haaretz 28.5. 2020)
En gang i tiden ble det kjempet om Jeriko.
Men det var Josva.
Nå er det Netanyahu ... og ved annektering av Jordandalen vil byen bli en palestinsk enklave ... sier han.
Sør-Afrika praktiserte slik lenge ... derfra stammer ordet ... Bantustan.
Likeledes ordet Apartheid.
Begge begrepene har gått inn i språket for å beskrive slike tilstander der det måtte passe.
Og nå passer det for Israel under ledelse av Netanyahu.
Han erklærer det selv ... som med den her refererte uttalelse den 28.5.2020.
Israel avviser kontant at begrepene fra Sør-Afrika gjelder for palestinerne.
Selv om de palestinske områdene på Vestbredden og i Jordandalen ved annektering blir delt opp i enklaver ...
Kanskje Bantustan skal omskrives til .... Palustan?
Det burde være en selvfølge at vår norske regjering sto klart og tydelig opp mot Netanyahus planer for palestinerne. Men med den siste avstemningen i Stortinget om merking av "israelske" produkter fra ulovlige israelske bosetninger på okkupert palestinske områder ... da er det tydelig at regjeringen har feiget ut moralsk.
Det må det bli en endring på.
Nå når Netanyahu taler i klartekst.
I Israel har det vært to "uavgjorte" valg ... og et 3. valg er satt til 3. mars 2020.
Hverken Netanyahu eller Gantz har fått flertall.
I valgkampen forut for 3. mars kappes nå Netanyahu og Gantz om hvor mye av Vestbredden de vil annektere til Israel ... begge vil iallefall ta Jordandalen.
I denne situasjonen har Trump invitert Netanyahu og Gantz til møte i USA på tirsdag neste uke.
Det sies at Trump vil presse Netanyahu og Gantz til å danne en samlingsregjering ... og samtidig avsløre deler av Trump-planen ... den såkalte "Deal of the Century".
Spådom:
Regn med at Trump vil sette sitt stempel på de neste steg.
Så han kan ta æren for
1) At Israel får en samlingsregjering
2) At Jordan tildeles Israel som del av Trumps plan
3) At Netanyahu med dette får immunuitet for de 3 korrupsjonssaken han står ovenfor
Makta rår.
Og Trump vil vise at det er han som bestemmer.
Og hva vil verden si?
Den vil si ... FY?
Og ...DETT var DETT?
