The justices of Israel\u2019s HCJ concluded that it is \u201cunlawful\u201d for Palestinians to build on the compound, therefore there was \u201cno legal obstacle to demolishing the structures in the community of Khan Al-Ahmar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report states that \u201cIsraeli authorities consider the demolition of Palestinian homes in the West Bank as no more than a matter of illegal construction, as if Israel does not have long-term goals in the West Bank\u201d, that \u201cthis policy imposes a virtually blanket prohibition on Palestinian construction\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report further states Israeli \u201cjustices have regarded the Israeli policy as lawful and legitimate, nearly always focusing only on the technical issue of whether the petitioners had building permits\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe planning apparatus Israel has instituted in the West Bank serves its policy of promoting and expanding Israeli takeover of land across the West Bank\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> From \u201cJanuary 2000 to mid-2016, Palestinians filed 5,475 applications for building permits. Only 226 (about 4%) were granted\u201d. From the year 2006 through 2018, \u201cIsrael demolished 1,401 Palestinian residential units in the West Bank (not including east Jerusalem)\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParticularly blatant is the justices\u2019 disregard of the fact that implementation of the Israeli planning policy involves violating the absolute prohibition on forcible transfer\u201d. \u201cSince occupying the West Bank over fifty years ago, Israel has built 250 new settlements \u2013 whose very establishment is prohibited under international law\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt stands to reason that the judges are well aware, or ought to be, of the judicial foundations they are cementing in their rulings, and the devastating implications of these rulings, including the violation of the IHL (International Humanitarian law) prohibition on forcible transfer. Therefore, they too, \u2013 along with the prime minister, senior ministers, the chief of staff and other military officers \u2013 bear personal liability for the commission of such crimes\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 19, 2019 4:16 AM Israeli Human Rights group B\u2019Tselem recently released a report, examining the rulings of Israel\u2019s High Court of Justice (HCJ) to restrict Palestinian building, and demolish Palestinian homes, while authorizing illegal Israeli Settlements in the occupied West Bank.
