Islam Times - Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem is under siege

Islam Times - The Israeli authorities ordered the destruction this week of several Palestinian homes in a neighborhood south of al-Aqsa Mosque - Silwan -

The state is arguing several residences there were edified without the required permits and authorizations.

Eye-witnesses reported seeing Israeli soldiers cordon off entire neighborhoods by fear of reprisals.

It is important to note that while the state of Israel has continuously used red tape to justify the destruction of Palestinian neighborhoods its own illegal settlers have been allowed to invade Palestinian lands without raisin an eye-brow.
