Is there anything that the Israeli Gov controls?! Certainly not the illegal settlers, the Haredim, parts of the IDF and now city officials.

Can't blame them for building without proper planning. If they had applied, they would have been rejected. Can't blame Jews for trying to live on THEIR OWN LAND, while their government gives THEIR OWN LAND away, evicts them, demolishes their homes, etc. Nope. Can't blame them. If they didn't fight back, Israel would not be Jewish. AND BY THE WAY, why do you still call them settlers? Ridiculous. They are Jeweish Israeli citizens, there for good. The word settler should be reserved for the "legal" , non-violent, arabs (are there any?) in Jewish neighborhoods. Seems to me the word "settler" is used as an excuse for evictions.

There are thousands of illegal Arab construction with court orders for tehir destruction. But the State prosecutor has no zealous enforcement of those laws. Hmmmmm, or about the illegal Arab squatters in Jewish homes that the State can't seem to enforce those court rulings. Selective enforcement anybody?

They are quick enough to demolish illegal buildings by non-Jews... Barkat should be brought up on charges for disobeying 4 Supreme Court rulings in the matter.

Israel's perverse left only wants to drive Jews from their homes. Never Arabs. This evil racism must end and now. We must end all evacuations of Jews in Israel now and forever.

tall. So if they demolished the top two floors it would be a "legal" building. Some government officials just hate Jews and prostrate themselves in front of terrorists.

There's comment and pictures and video here and abroad when a illegal Arab house is evacuated and bulldozed. What's wrong here is that a certain group of Jews have place themselves above the laws of the state - and Silwan is not the only place this is happening. Two legal authorities have now insisted that they be evacuated - are we a nation of one law for Ateret Cohanim et al and one law for us?
