Four Palestinian communities have seen their educational facilities - donated by international bodies and NGOs - destroyed on grounds they have been built without permission

Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank have started the new school year in improvised tents after Israeli authorities demolished their classrooms the day before term began.

Around eighty 5 - 10 year olds from the village of Jub-Ad-Dhib went to classes held in cramped tarpaulin tents or under the hot sun on Wednesday following the Israeli Civil Administration’s decision to confiscate and destroy steel terrapin cabins used as school buildings along with other educational equipment on Tuesday.

The six newly-installed portacabins donated by the EU were put in place so that local children did not have to walk an hour to get to school.

Over the last two weeks, four Palestinian communities have seen their educational facilities - donated by international bodies and NGOs - destroyed on the grounds that they had been built without proper planning permission.

The security forces also removed solar panels powering a school for Bedouin children near Jerusalem were removed on 9 August, ignoring a High Court petition over their removal in the process.

The High Court ended up issuing a temporary restraining order against removing the panels, but it came an hour after they had already been dismantled.

Critics of Israeli policy point out that building permissions for new Palestinian homes and infrastructure are almost impossible to obtain.

Last month, the Netherlands lodged a complaint with the Israeli government after dozens of Dutch solar panels donated to the same village were confiscated by Israeli authorities, again

That one is a real hoot.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

This is fucking absurd, I'm speechless.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Israeli government are scum of the earth.

 

[Beartruck]

Dumb and counterproductive. This will just create more uneducated people with an axe to grind against israel. Round and round we go.

 

[Frozenprince]

"Don't have the permits" then give them a voice in government, seats in the assembly, oh wait that would acknowledge they are human beings. Not trash to be cleansed.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

Israeli government are scum of the earth.

And nobody will do a damn thing about it to boot.

 

[5taquitos]

Both sides, right?

 

[RangerX]

Well Israel can't have educated informed Palestinians in their midst can they? Seriously though what a despicable regime.

Sounds about right.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

They will teach them to build bombs in these schools. /s

 

[Enduin]

At least they're a Democracy right?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

And nobody will do a damn thing about it to boot.

Yup...

 

[Frozenprince]

At least they're a Democracy right?

With a sizable minority that strangely has zero representation in any of their levels of government.

Hmmmm.

[commedieu]

Disgusting. As usual with everything Israel does, while pretending it's on the brink of destruction. With its billions of aids, sophisticated weaponry, and nukes.

Must.

Be.

Hard.

 

[Rumblebones]

Trash government behaving like trash government.

I'm sick of them getting away with this shit.

 

[KDR_11k]

That's the point. International pressure demands that in the peace process Israel gives up all the illegally gained ground so the longer they keep the war going the longer they get to use that ground and the more political points can be scored by scare tactics. (The Palestinian leadership likes the conflict for the same reason, meanwhile the citizens get fucked over repeatedly)

Something something Hamas!!!!

 

[jiiikoo]

Fuck Israel.

 

[Mahonay]

Fuck Bibi and the Israeli government. Apartheid scumbags.

 

[theofficefan99]

I cannot imagine this situation ever getting better. Sadly

 

[Bedameister]

Who would possible do such a thing.

Fuck Bibi and fuck the israeli government.

 

[Dude Abides]

Colonists gonna colonize.

The fucking cheek.

Would it be too much to hope that the EU gets on Israel's ass about this? If we (I know, that only applies to me for another year and a half) donated the portacabins then Israel is deliberately sabotaging our efforts to help these people.

 

[Derwind]

Israels leadership are scum, there is no way to justify this petty behaviour, no god damn empathy.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Or: why I won't watch Wonder Woman.

 

[low-G]

I'm surprised they didn't wait until kids were attending as usual. Because Israel loves murdering children.

 

[God Dayumm]

Leftist anti-semitic fake news

/s

 

[Steejee]

Fuck Bibi and the Israeli government. Apartheid scumbags.

Agreed.

 

[Camwi]

Fuck Israel. Those shitheads should not be US allies.

 

[cwmartin]

CAREFUL the left has a serious anti-semitism problem. DOES THIS THREAD NOT PROVE IT?!



yikes this is some heinous inhumane shit.

 

[Goofalo]

I'm pretty sure Gal Gadot did it all herself. Or ordered it. Per GAF standards.

 

[Dierce]

Dumb and counterproductive. This will just create more uneducated people with an axe to grind against israel. Round and round we go.

That's precisely what they want. The same happens in the USA with republicans. Their entire ideology revolves around escalating problems through authoritarian methods to continue getting elected by morons.

'We hate crime, but lets ban abortion and see the crime rate shoot up in a few years, we are the only ones who are tough on crime so people will vote for us'

 

[ClosingADoor]

Come on now, Israel. This is some bullshit.

 

[Enduin]

With a sizable minority that strangely has zero representation in any of their levels of government.

Hmmmm.

Yes, but the negro is not yet ready to self govern. We must teach them and guide them to civility and modernity, so that one day, only when God wills it, they too can be full participants in society. But until that day comes we must decide for them; for they are simple minded folk with baser, some would say savage, instincts. It is the kindly and goodly thing to do.

Edit: Whoops, sorry about that. That's an out of date script. Now where is that revised one...

[Llyranor]

Didn't even use the rockets excuse this time.

 

[Bronx-Man]

And we just keep letting them get away with this shit

 

[Messofanego]

Hmm what kind of people stop educational facilities?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

That's Israel for you.

 

[Haunted]

That's some fucking criminal shit right there.

Israel needs to get some harder sanctions imposed on them for this bs.

Fox? There's a bipartisan consensus that this is totally acceptable.

 

[Linkark07]

Fuck the Israeli Government.

 

[Fenderputty]

Israeli government are scum of the earth.

They are definitely up there.

 

[Lowmelody]

Nah, she just explicitly supports Israel's campaign of ethnic cleansing. But that's probably OK per apologist standards.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

That's..fucked.

 

[Dai101]

Israeli government are scum of the earth.

ANTISEMITE!!!!!!!111

 

[Daedardus]

I'm waiting for people to come in and defending this since such young children don't deserve a right to education if they were raised by criminals or something like that. I don't know how this whole act could be justifiable, those children probably don't want to take part in any of this.
