Demolition of Houses by Israeli Occupation Forces in Beit Hanena-Jerusalem
A Palestinian child reacts moments after coming from school and realizing that his family house has been demolished by the municipality in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina. The municipality says the building was constructed without proper permits and that its structure was not sound. The 33-member family says it was waiting to receive permits.

Israeli forces demolished a two-story Palestinian home in East Jerusalem on Tuesday, making 30 people homeless, official news agency Wafa reported.
Four families lived in the Beit Hanina home, which was constructed six years ago. The families had hired a lawyer to prevent the demolition.
Ibrahim al- Kiswani told WAFA that Israeli bulldozers, protected by Israeli police, entered the area at dawn, surrounded the house and gave the family of six members 10 minutes to evacuate the house before demolishing it over its contents.
Kiswani said he had paid more than $160,000 trying to obtain a permit for his 170-square-meter home, which houses him, his wife and his four children, whose ages fall between 8 to 12.
Kiswani’s 10-year-old child said, “I am very sad because the Israeli forces destroyed our home where we grew up without giving us a chance to get out our stuff, clothes and computer, which we used for fun and school.”
“We are refugees now, we don’t have any shelter. Where should we, our children and elderly people go after our house was demolished?” Muhammad Castero, 52, a resident of the building said.
Last week, Israeli forces delivered demolition notices to 200 Palestinian families in Fuheidat neighborhood east of Anata village in northeast Jerusalem, residents said.

How can these Zionist sons of whores live with themselves after thowing women and children out of their homes. Do they go home to their own families and laugh about the little boy crying that he has no place to go? And they wonder why they wonder why there are terrorist acts aginst Israel.I use the word terrorist because the whole world knows that all Arabs are terrorists and the Israeli nazis are patriots.How is Israel having the right to defend itself in this case? Maybe one of the soldiers tripped on a roller skate and broke his fat ass.If this was any other country we would be up in arms about this terrible injustice. Hoever Jews have every right to do this as they are Gods chosen people.
