Who do you think is "allowing" Israel to do anything. And, as for a country that waged war on it, I've already said that I philosophically believe that Israel has the right to mow them all down and take their land - so long as they can defend the land they've taken. Otherwise, some bigger badder country will take it away from Israel. In any event, the war wouldn't be prolonged. There simply would be no more Gazans to war with Israel.
Yeah, so? I looked into this. The Palestinians were not evicted from "their" homes. These Palestinians were tenants renting from Jews who owned that land and buildings. The Palestinians just decided to stop paying rent, so the Jew land owners brought legal proceedings to evict them.
American land owners do the same thing every minute of every day. Are you going to take up arms and attack me and my family (not at all involved in your eviction) because your landlord gets a court evict you from the home you rent? Try it and see what me and my family do to you and your family!
The original families chosen by the UN Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa) have now become more than 60 families that comprise over three generations of Palestinians living in Sheik Jarrah," according to a recent report by a UN special rapporteur.But after the June 1967 war, Israel occupied East Jerusalem and applied its own laws - something the UN says is illegal.
