"In Israel, 60,000 may face eviction; Many homes lack permits" by Howard Schneider, Washington Post | May 2, 2009

First of all, the deceptive headline leaves the impression that it is Israelis being evicted, not Palestinians. It can't even be a mistake; it's just another way the jewsmedia subtley push the poor joos bulls***!
JERUSALEM - Since he was a boy in the 1940s, Mazen Abu Diab has seen houses pop up steadily in the Bustan neighborhood of East Jerusalem, slowly filling a strip of land just outside the walled Old City with what are now about 88 homes.
Some were built with the proper permits. Others were not, particularly after Israel annexed the Arab neighborhood in the wake of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Yeah, that's not a problem for the world, though.
But while Abu Diab, 63, acknowledges that some of the houses are unauthorized, he argues that the Israeli response - the threatened demolition of dozens of buildings - is an unfair slap at his community. "I don't know what the Israeli government teaches a child by demolishing their home," he said.
I do: justifiable hatred for them.
Yesterday, a United Nations report showed how deep and festering the dispute over housing has become. It estimates that as many as a quarter of the Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem have been built without permits, putting as many as 60,000 people at risk of eviction if Israel enforces its rules on construction. So far, actual home demolitions have occurred on a far smaller scale, averaging about 75 a year between 2000 and 2008.
Just the fact that they are OCCURING at all is an OUTRAGE!!!!
The only thing MORE OUTRAGEOUS is WORLD ACCEPTANCE and SILENCE on the matter!
But the problem continues to mount because the number of building permits issued to Palestinians in East Jerusalem has remained stable at about 100 to 150 per year, providing about 1,100 fewer housing units than needed annually to keep up with Palestinian population growth, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs concludes in its study.
"Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem find themselves confronting a serious housing shortage caused by Israel's failure to provide Palestinian neighborhoods with adequate planning," the OCHA report says. "Because of the difficulties trying to obtain building permits from the Israeli authorities, and due to the lack of feasible alternatives, many Palestinians risk building on their land without a permit."
Is that not the HEIGHT of INSANITY or what?
Yeah, the ZIONISTS need to APPROVE of PALESTINAINS BUILDING ON THEIR OWN LAND!!!!
Israeli officials immediately rejected the UN agency's findings, with a Foreign Ministry official accusing OCHA of trying to influence a political debate that is beyond its humanitarian mandate.
Yeah, U.N bends and spreads, too!
The United States has tried to head off the possibility that the government of new Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will engage in extensive home demolitions in Bustan and similar neighborhoods. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned this year that such actions are "unhelpful" in advancing Arab-Israeli peace.
This is all the kabulki shit we've ben seeing for years!
St. Hitlery sounds like torturing Condi! More change for you!
The Zionists write the script for you guys, don't they?
The political significance of demolitions is far more pointed in East Jerusalem, an area that Israeli land-use lawyer and activist Daniel Seidemann calls the "molten core" of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. While many Arabs firmly hope that East Jerusalem will serve as the capital of a future Palestinian state, many Jewish Israelis are adamant that the city should remain united and under Israeli control.
Wake up! The NaZionists will not stop until they have expelled or exterminated every Palestinian and seized all the land!
It is a battle being fought almost lot by lot, with Jewish settler groups and Palestinian legal organizations combing through Ottoman-era archives to try to prove ownership of particular parcels, Jewish philanthropists raising money to buy more properties, and many Palestinian residents left to worry whether a pending eviction might be enforced.
Yeah, nothing about the violence of the NaZionist settlers, etc, etc.
It's why I despise the jewspapers now.
Israeli policy, OCHA contends, has long favored Jewish settlement, with quicker permitting and higher density allowances helping the Jewish population in East Jerusalem to grow to an estimated 195,000.
You know, this is NOTHING NEW to those of us WHO KNOW WHAT is going on there! This dink-shit jewsmedia paper and press suck!
But it "is not part of some all-encompassing government plan to do this or that," said Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry....
Yeah, Nazi Lieberman's office! How do you know a joo is lying? He is speaking, folks! Yeah, it's not a plan, it just keeps happening that way! F*** you, joos****!
Arab residents of East Jerusalem traditionally have boycotted municipal elections on the grounds that they are living under an occupation. "If they are not trying to influence the municipal policy from within, which they can do," Palmor said, "then they cannot complain."
No, but I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!
