JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israeli police on Wednesday razed an illegally-built house in occupied east Jerusalem, shortly before the Palestinian owner arrived home with a court order halting the demolition.
Scores of police and a single bulldozer were involved in the operation, which leveled the small house in the Al-Tur neighbourhood near the Mount of Olives.
House owner Abed Zablah, a father of five, showed AFP a letter issued early on Wednesday by the Jerusalem District Court ordering a halt to the demolition.
But by the time he got home with the letter, the house was already flattened, he said.
Israeli police had no immediate comment on the demolition.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops in the Jordan Valley destroyed two buildings and a tent being used by Palestinians in Massu`a, southwest of Nablus, near the border with Jordan, a military spokesman told AFP.
The buildings, which were being used to house cattle, were demolished because they had been erected illegally on public land, the spokesman said.
Permits for Palestinians to build in east Jerusalem are extremely rare, rights groups say, and Israel frequently issues demolition orders despite the sensitive nature of such operations on land the Palestinians want as capital of their future state.
Israel captured east Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the rest of the world. The Jewish state considers the whole of Jerusalem its `eternal and indivisible` capital.

One day Abbas will realize he waited too long, too...
And his hopes will be flattened...
And then he`ll come running with a piece of paper offering peace...
But it will be too late to make a difference.Reply.1 users liked this comment

Or perhaps he did, but it was better PR this way.
That way racists could accuse Israel of being racist.Reply.1 users liked this comment

RE: Eric Cantor Guilty of Treason
US Department of Justice
Attn: Atty. Gen. Eric Holder
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
Greetings Mr. Holder,
It has come to my attention that you might be unaware of the definition of treason; the definition of treason is as follows: “…a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or to one’s state and impairs the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance…” Now that you are aware of the crime Rep. Eric Cantor committed when he met with the notorious war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu on 11/10/10 and pledged his allegiance to Israel with the following treasonous statement: “…the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Obama administration…”; why has the DOJ remained silent on Rep. Eric Cantor’s well-documented crime of treason against America and the American people he was elected to represent?
As the Last American Patriot, I am due an explanation as to why Rep. Eric Cantor was allowed to pledge his allegiance to the illegitimate and hostile Zionist regime, to the detriment of the American President and America’s sovereignty without any consequences? Rep. Eric Cantor’s treachery is not against the hated President, Barack Obama, Eric Cantor‘s treachery is against the American people and the Office of the President, as it does not matter who the sitting president is. The Jew’s have not changed their modus operandi since the beginning of time; they enslave the populations they pretend to befriend, until the unfortunate “Friends of Israel”, discover they are not friends of Israel, but slaves of Israel aka Satan. There were no Pogroms against the Jew’s, only Slave Rebellions, uprisings against the Jew’s tyrannical, oppressive, greedy and sadistic rule. The Americans have embraced their enslavement, while the great humanitarian Mr. Adolf Hitler rejected it, just as Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and the Taliban are rejecting it, these groups are the legitimate “resistance” against the slavery stupid Americans openly embraced.
The Jew’s have looted the wealth of America during Wall Street collapse of 2008, ongoing mortgage foreclosures and their excessive “Jew” tax (paying the Jew’s $200,000.00 in interest on a $150,000.00 home); but Christian slaves are happy because their greedy Jew Masters have told them this excessive and oppressive tax is called “Capitalism”, which is a privilege of living in a democracy under the pretense of “Judeo Christian Values” aka Jew’s enslavement of Christians. The Jew’s throughout history have triggered unjust wars, enslaved the population by infiltrating governments and imposing oppressive laws, overthrown governments and remained behind the scene as they do today. Throughout history the Jew’s have been the historians, owners and controllers of the media and press; which enables them to control the information their slaves have access to and more importantly, to obscure their satanic origins. The Jews are so evil the Prophet {PBUH} made the following statement:
“…But for the Jews, meat would not decay…”
For the entire above, I demand the treacherous traitor Rep. Eric Cantor be charged, arrested and prosecuted for the crime of treason and be given the maximum penalty of death, as called for in the U.S. Constitution.
