Since the start of this year, Israeli forces have demolished at least 47 Palestinian-built structures in occupied East Jerusalem, including inhabited and uninhabited homes, stores, and other structures. By February 7, at least 60 Palestinians were made homeless due to the demolitions, according to the UN

Demolition on buildings built without a permit or homes of convicted terrorists. Certainly no settlements being built on those areas, and even your extremely biased news source (AJ is generally a good news source but ridiculously, almost comically, anti-Israel) isn’t claiming otherwise.

Yeah pointing out that building being demolished are being demolished because they’re built without a permit = mental gymnastics.

Claiming no building were demolished and then when proven wrong changing the statement to no building with permits is a kind of mental gymnastics.

I never said that. I said they weren’t demolished for settlements, which was the claim made by the guy I responded to. And i was 100% correct.

what is this nonsensical strawman, he said for Israeli settlements. 3 people in a row intentionally misconstruing his statement, is this a raid?

and he's right. find one (1) palestinian home that was bulldozed to make way for an israeli settlement.

because it doesn't exist; forget Israel's justifications, you think settlements and arab cities? that destroying palestinian homes will somehow 'make room' for the settlers? lol. No Jew is building homes in Nablus, you can be sure of that. Palestine has already ethnically cleansed all of its Jews well before Israel took the WB in '67, and no one wants them for a neighbour again.

The buildings are built without permits because they don't give Palestinians permits... it then makes it an easy sell for, I guess, you.

I mean there are plenty of buildings going up there legally. Palestinians also tend to build purposely without permits so Israel will destroy the building and then get international condemnation.

Wow those skeeving conniving Palestinians purposely wanting to lose their homes and possessions to make people feel bad for them!

It's a capital crime to sell land to a Jew in Palestine. Unlike Israel, Palestine is apartheid, so you have no worry on that account. Bulldozing and permits do absolutely nothing for settlement expansion, especially considering only, what, 30k or something Palestinians live in Area C, which is where Israel was given by the PA civil responsibility to handle things like permits.
