EU demands Israel stop demolishing illegal Arab settlements

The European Union on Saturday called on Israel to halt the demolition of illegal Palestinian buildings, some of which are EU-funded, and reiterated its opposition to building Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria.

"In the past weeks there have been a number of developments in Area C of the West Bank, which risk undermining the viability of a future Palestinian state and driving the parties yet further apart," the EU diplomatic service said in a statement.

It referred to Israel's decision on January 25 to declare 154 hectares (380 acres) of land near Jericho in Judea as state land, with reported plans to build around 150 new residences.

This was followed by the demolition of several illegal, EU-funded structures in the south Hevron hills on Wednesday.

"This is particularly concerning both because of the extent of the demolitions and also the number of vulnerable individuals affected, including children who need support," the EU said, adding that "demolitions included EU-funded structures."

"We call on the Israeli authorities to reverse the decisions taken and to halt further demolitions," it said.

They raid Israeli hilltop outposts in the middle of the night, give them five minutes to get children up and out, then move in with the bulldozers. They throw Israelis out of homes they purchase from Arabs in Hevron, in one instance right before a holiday, again in the middle of the night. The poor Arab seller must leave the country to avoid being murdered by the PA's goons. No EU protests against that. STFUEU.

Israel can do whatever it wants to.

[MarvinStinson]

Israel better do what the EU tells it to do, or the EU won’t like them.

It’s not whether settlements are legal or illegal. Europe objects to all Jewish settlements and supports all Arab settlements. If I didn’t know better, I would conclude that this is classic European antisemitism.

"Illegal arab settlements"

Something familiar about this.

[AFreeBird]

Fine, then they’ll send the illegals to Brussels. You guy love them don’t you, EU?

[ColdOne]

As if there is a chance the EU ever will! ;)

EU demands Israel stop demolishing illegal Arab settlements...

My goodness...one would conclude that Israel was a member of the European Union.

Wait...what?...they are not?

Tell 'em to pound sand, Bibi.

I stand with Israel.

As the courts like to say around here when citizens bring suit against the government, “They have no standing.”

[Jan_Sobieski]

The EU forces Israel to assimilate a gnat of Islamists, they swallow a camel of them. Sorry to say this, but they deserve Islam!

[Eleutheria5]

Wait. you mean they really don’t like us?/s

[MasterGunner01]

And precisely what power do the Euros have over what Israel does within its borders? Nothing.

FUEU. Your dipstick mentality when it comes to an incorrigible disease like islam invalidates anything you have to proclaim about someones defense against the vile practice of islam.

[faithhopecharity]

E U has thoroughly discredited itself The various European nations need to send the Muslims home ASAP or they’ll be taken over and destroyed (Brussels tyrants resent Jerusalem for defending her people while EU sells the European peoples down the Islsmonazi sewer.)

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Eleutheria5.

[Titus-Maximus]

No to Islam, they have destroyed every square inch under their feet. We need to free more lands from their totalitarian onslaught.

I would hope they can stop their murder and rape but it is too much a part of their religion.
