Israel to confiscate vast area of Bethlehem village land

http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=689023

ETHLEHEM (Ma’an) – Israeli authorities on Thursday morning announced a decision to confiscate about 1,000 dunams (250 acres) of private Palestinian land in the town of al-Khader south of Bethlehem.

Deputy mayor of al-Khader Ismail Issa told Ma’an that high-level Israeli military commanders and Civil Administration officers along with a group of settlers toured private Palestinian fields in areas known locally as Khallat al-Fahm, al-Zaytouna and al-Absiyya.

They left yellow posters reading “State properties! No entry,” he said.

Issa added that the Israeli officers dropped copies of a statement which explained that 984 dunams of private land was slated for confiscation. Palestinian farmers who wish to contest the decision can object within 45 days, according to the statement.



It just never fucking ends, my fellow DUers.

The Apartheid picnic rolls over everything Palestinian and crushes and then eats it, and the the US State Department remains quiet with its head firmly planted in its ass.

How many Americans remain quiet as this happens while our beloved country enables this terror?

Their propaganda always says "we want peace". Their actions always say we're going to hold onto whatever occupied lands we want.

And Americans believe the propaganda every time.
