Bulldozing In Israel

By DMartyr · Thursday, July 3. 2008 07:49

In reading about the bulldozer attack in Israel, I took the time to learn a little more about the British Mandate of Palestine. Within the mandate is the following regulation:

(1) A Military Commander may by order direct the forfeiture to the Government of Palestine of any house, structure, or land from which he has reason to suspect that any firearm has been illegally discharged, or any bomb, grenade or explosive or incendiary article illegally thrown, or of any house, structure or land situated in any area, town, village, quarter or street the inhabitants or some of the inhabitants of which he is satisfied have committed, or attempted to commit, or abetted the commission of, or been accessories after the fact to the commission of, any offence against these Regulations involving violence or intimidation or any Military Court offence ; and when any house, structure or land is forfeited as aforesaid, the Military Commander may destroy the house or the structure or anything on growing on the land.

(Specifics on this regulation can be found at Israeli Law Resource Center. However, despite the name, please note that this is an anti-Israel site.)

This regulation essentially gives Israel the right to demolish any structure(s) and confiscate any property used or owned by terrorists, including, but not limited to, entire neighborhoods. Why Israel doesn't use this regulation to flatten the Gaza strip is beyond me.

Predictably, this regulation has drawn controversy. Human rights organizations condemn the tactic. Collective punishment against those who support, aid, and hide terrorists is much worse, according to these organizations, than the wanton executions and cowardly murders committed by the occupants of such properties.

Oh, and keep in mind that many of these terrorists, like the one who committed this bulldozer attack on Wednesday, live off the generosity of the Israeli people. He and his family receive financial aid from the National Insurance Institute, one form of Israel's version of welfare. But that isn't new. Muslims often live off the welfare offered by Western societies.

Why not take money and lives from the kuffar if they so eagerly offer them? There is no retribution, only virgins in paradise.

Allahuachbar.

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
