Let me see if I can figure this out.

The Israeli’s were given money to construct these Soplar electricity plants by Germany. Germany thought that they would be built to supply electricity to the Palestinians, and instead the Israelis moved in there and started building communities.

Now the Israeli communities have to be moved so the Israelis are wanting to destroy the electricity facilities.

Have I got that straight?

Now IMO the Israeli’s shuld leave the plants there, I see no reason to destroy them. Leave them there and let the Palestinians maintian them , and keep them working.

In a year they will be useless anyway.

There aren't any plans to destroy them. And in a lot of cases, the EU builds them with zero permission, which means they have zero respect for the Israeli government and think they can act on their own initiative. Look at this language they're using (from the article):
EU diplomats say that more generally, Israeli settlement activity and house demolitions in Area C are increasing at an unprecedented speed but with the renewables projects, “we are particularly concerned because it is EU-funded infrastructure,” one told EurActiv. “We expect that there will be pressure put by the Germans to have this stopped, even if it is only a drop in the ocean of this whole process,” the source said. “Action is necessary.”
That's tantamount to proposing an invasion of Israel on the Palestinians' behalf.

By reading this article, that is certainly the conclusion you would draw. But -- and I admit to bias in favor of the Israelis -- I would want some more evidence. This EurActiv site seems pretty biased, itself.

Actually, no.
And you need not bother telling us where your sympathies lie, Abdul.
Or Rachel. Whatever.
