Despite Obamas attempt to halt Israeli settlements, hundreds of Palestinians continue to be evicted in the sacred land of East Jerusalem. This powerful front-line report challenges the Israelis over the practice. They didnt give me time to get my things!, cries one young girl, standing outside her former home in the old town of Jerusalem. Not so far away, Nasser Jabber tries to reason with the Israeli police blocking the entrance to his home. I have the documentation! , he cries but the police refuse to remove the Israelis settling inside the apartment, even delivering them food. They tried to buy the house more than once, Nasser says, I know who they are. Settler groups are increasingly using the Israeli court system as a means of acquiring new properties in the east. A Jew not only has the right, a Jew should be compelled to buy, says Daniel Luria, the head of an ultra-nationalist religious group. His aim is to buy up as much Palestinian property in East Jerusalem as he can, and to move Jewish families in. The Arabs are out and they're in! an Arab woman cries, as the Israeli police escort Jewish settlers into the home she has just been evicted from. Despite his documentation, Nasser is never re-admitted to his home. The Israeli courts here operate in a political manner, rather than in a strict legal manner says Roy Dickinson, an EU diplomat. God promised us Jerusalem, says an Israeli settler, now its finally happening.

One would have thought that after what the Jews have been subjected to under Nazi rule, they would never accept such injustice being forced unto people (especially those who had nothing to do with the holocaust), let alone perpetrate and advocate it. This is a disgusting racist behaviour not different from a Nazi one. Murat Muratowic
I agree that the Israeli government's policies can be extremely heavy handed, but I wish someone among the Palestinians would crack open a book and study Mandela, Ghandi, MLK Jr and others and learn something about civil disobedience. It's more effective than bombs and it gets world opinion and sympathy on your side faster than terrorism.
Bob, get a grip. Israel's terrorism is sponsored by the biggest terrorists in the world, The United States of America. America's terrorist activity breeds more of the same around the world. We've killed millions of innocents around the world and displaced millions more. We overthrow democratic governments and rape their nations of their resources. The Palestinians are doing what they can with rocks and puny missiles against Israel's huge artillery of US made gifts of destruction.
Saying Israel's policies can be "heavy handed" is like saying rapists only engage in heavy petting. You must be an Obama apologist because he loves to invoke the names of Ghandi and MLK in his war infomercials.
well, taking the "Malcolm X" route and getting what you want " by any means necessary" (read violence) hasn't been as effective at attaining goals as civil disobedience has. When you use bombs, it gives your enemies the right to call you a terrorist. Whenever that word is used, all dialogue ceases. The person who eventually leads this region to a meaningful peace will by an Martin Luther King, not a Malcolm X
I believe the US and British government are the only entities that can bring a solution to the conflict. The British created this Monster, and the US is sponsoring it. But we cannot do it with the current administration and the "orientation" of our empire. Our current Zionist administration including the Israeli "family" member, Sec. Hillary Clinton, have and will always represent the interests of Israeli terror and occupation no matter what you read in the news which is scarce to say the least
It is conclusive to say that Israeli Zionism is a disorder--perhaps brought about by genetic imperfection. Sane human beings do not behave like these savage psychological and militaristic terrorists. At this point, their uncontrollable pathological nature perpetuates their lies and self justifies their savagery. Lies become truth. Truth become lies. Any outside intelligent, objective viewer of the "State" of Israel would most certainly be in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The mainstream media blackout and lopsided reporting in US media of Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people certainly work in Israel's favor. It's very unfortunate the US government closes their eyes to what their "unconditional support of the 'State' of Israel" has given birth to---the decline of humanity.
The land NEVER belonged to the Arabs,I wish you people would go back to Egypt. Where did you people even get the idea that Israel was yours ? None of it belongs to Arabs !!
Opinions are kinda like assholes, most stink! Guess that kinda tells you what I think of your opinion, huh! You can say whatever you want, which won't do any good any hoo, as the Israeli's own the land, have a superior defense force, and will do anything they damn well please!! Now put that in your crack pipe and smoke it!!!!!!!
