Israel Issues Demolition Orders To 11 Ramallah Homes

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces issued demolition orders to 11 homes in a Ramallah village on Monday, homeowners told Ma'an.

Military forces raided the village of Deir Nidham, located around 2km south of Nabi Saleh, and issued demolition orders to Ahmad Tamimi, his sons Abdul-Raziq, Hasan and Mahmoud, and their cousins Kafour, Abdul-Hafizh, Salih, Mustafa and Haitham Tamimi.

Israeli forces also issued Abdul-Kashif Tamimi with a stop-work order for his house, which is currently under construction.

Around 40 people will be made homeless if the demolition orders are carried out.

The homes slated for demolition are located opposite the Israeli settlement of Hallamish. The majority of the homes were built before the illegal settlement was founded, locals said.

"Deir Nidham {Arabic: دير نظام?} is a Palestinian village in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank. It is located approximately 23 kilometers (14 mi) northwest of the city of Ramallah and its elevation is 590 meters (1,940 ft). According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) 2007 census, the town had a population of 879."

How can a reasonable person, containing even one speck of consciousness of the social sphere that "human rights" ought to encompass, not see this as the continuation of a systematic, government/legally_formulated, program of transfer, containment and elimination of segments of humanity from the body politic. In short, how can a reasonable person not see this as an instance amongst instances of systematic governmentally enacted war crime.
