Systematic oppression
Honest question, I keep seeing that Israel is conducting the demolition Palestinian homes (in some cases whole villages) because they don’t have permits but when Palestinians try to apply for permits less than 1% of them get accepted. So is this done purposely so that Israel maintains demographic control? It sure feels like they don’t want Palestinians to legally have homes so that they can destroy them. They’re basically restricting Palestinians ability to live. Israeli cvil administration, rarely approves planning schemes for Palestinian villages, making it almost impossible for residents to obtain legal building permits. It REALLY feels like these policies in East Jerusalem and the West Bank are designed to reduce the Palestinian population over time while enabling Jewish growth.
This in combination with the government allowing violent settlers to harass Palestinians in impunity, how do Israelis argue against the very obvious signs of oppression of Palestinians and again goal of Israel to control the Palestinian demographic population?
