Israeli group slams policy of destroying Palestinian homes
Agence France Presse
April 15, 2001
An Israeli organisation on Sunday accused the government of conducting a "racist" policy of destroying Palestinian homes with the aim of perpetuating its illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"House demolition is a key to long term control over the occupied territories. It's a key to Israel maintaining its occupation forever," said Jeff Halper, coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolition.
Halper was commenting on plans by Israel's Jerusalem municipality to demolish 17 homes on Monday in Israeli-occupied east Jerusalem.
He told a press conference that systematically denying the Palestinian population the right to housing and shelter was a "discriminatory, racist, illegal policy I don't think is found anywhere in the world except Israel."
Israel has destroyed more than 7,000 homes and made some 40,000 people homeless since occupying the Gaza Strip and West Bank, including east Jerusalem, in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, according to Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups.
Over 500 have been destroyed by bulldozers and missiles since September when the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation began.
The top Palestinian official for Jerusalem, Faisal Husseini, warned Israel of the consequences of destroying homes in east Jerusalem, saying it would be a "large mistake that will lead to reactions and tension."

A LETTER TO THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, FROM AN ISRAELI DISSENTER
February 6, 2002 (as published):
Regarding the article, "Israeli soldiers defy their battle orders" (Feb. 2): When dissenting reservists declare their refusal to "fight beyond the Green Line with the aim of dominating, expelling, starving and humiliating an entire people," it's time the United States took notice.
For anyone who is still wondering why so many millions of people hate us and consider us the great Satan, it's not because we eat cheeseburgers, drive SUVs and live in a democracy. It's because of our government's foreign policies.
Though President Bush recently referred to Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as his "friend," many Israelis have joined the majority of the free world in condemning Sharon's oppressive regime.
Israel's crimes against the Palestinians don't infuriate just the Arab world, but Israelis too. What if we Americans stood up and refused to let our government support Israel's terror? It could create freedom and democracy for the Palestinians and a few million fewer enemies for the United States.
