Palestinians Pitch Tents at Israeli Site to Protest Jewish Communities

Palestinians Pitch Tents at Israeli E1 Corridor to Protest Jewish Communities

Photo source: Haaretz

Palestinian activists — some 200 of them — are at it again, this time erecting no less than 50 tents along the E1 corridor connecting Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. In November, Israel announced that the site is intended for new Jewish homes. Of course, the Palestinians, who’ve named their outpost Baab al Shams, or Arabic for “sunny gateway,” claim that the Jewish community will obstruct the continuity of a future Palestinian state, but bypass roads would maintain that contiguity.

According to the Associated Press, the demonstrators claim their desire to erect a village in the E1 corridor is to “establish facts on the ground.”

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, meanwhile, informed the press that the protesters had been served with trespassing documents. Whether or not legal action will be taken remains unclear.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would build homes in E1, situated on a key route linking Palestinian areas of Jerusalem to the West Bank, after the U.N.’s move to move the Palestinians one step closer to statehood.

While actual construction of the Jewish community is reportedly years away, given the Palestinians’ successful U.N. bid and their consistent cries of “subjugation,” the plans will no doubt continue to be met with opposition.

A video posted by JewishNewsOne provides footage:

Palestinians have rights to the land. Israel ignores this and essentially steals the land. Palestinians fight back…yet somehow Palestinians are in the wrong? I’d be damn pissed if someone came to my land and said it was theirs. I’d shoot guns, I’d launch rockets, I would kill whoever I could to get my land back. Why? Because I would have no lifestyle, no purpose but to kill those who erased my way of living. Sometimes, you must be empathetic towards others’ suffering, especially in a situation like this. Otherwise, the conflict goes unresolved and more blood is shed.
This is just one of the many reasons religion nowadays is complete B.S.

What’s all this nonsense we’ve been hearing for years about “Jewish settlers” on Palestinian land, anyway? The Palestinians are the people indigenous to Palestine, so all the land is theirs by right, not a bunch of European jews.
If you walked into your living room and found me sacked out on your couch, with my only justification for being there that God gave me your living room thousands of years ago, would you buy that line of malarkey? That’s what the ZOG federal government is asking you to believe, but only borin’-agains and other fools are doing so.

  The promise was made to Abraham and his seed, which Paul said was Christ, not Israel. (Galatians 3:16) “Israel” of today doesn’t even possess all of the land that was portioned in the Old Testament. Jesus would never have treated the Palestinians the way the world treated them in 1948. Galatians 3:29 says, “And if you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

  Once you’ve been gone from an area for over 2000 years, let’s face it, you’ve lost the lease.

Baabs al sham is not to be mistaken for Sam the sham and the Pharohs. Their village was named ‘Wooly bully’ which in arabic means ‘town of the itchy rectums’.

This may sound messed up but I feel this BS has gone on long enough. Israel has been forced to tolerate these animals for far too long. No western country would put up with the mess we have asked Israel to put up with. These people should be forcibly evicted and all Hamas members should be shot on sight.

Isn’t it odd how everyone is supposed to abide by a UN resolution for a Palestinian state but the fact that Israel was declared a state in 1948 carries no weight?

  Why yes it does… but then look at who runs the UN today vs the members back then. The third world animals have taken control of it. It’s the only way a nation like Iran can sit on the human rights board in the UN.

@VAARNIG Unfortunately for those people that squat in the land East of Israel (no such people or place called Palastine) their own countries threw them out with the trash and will not take them back. They are the trailer park trash of the middle east. Also look at some pictures Nice clean modern cities= Jewish settlements. Trash, garbage filth= squatters from every other Muslim country.

The “palestinian” squatters should be removed from Israeli land, once and for all.

  In America we have this legal thing called Adverse Possession. For example in some states after 15 years of taking care of someone’s property it becomes your property. I would say that after 2000 years that is no longer Jewish land. It would be like the Indians coming and taking America back.

  And that is dealing with PRIVATE property. Show me where squatters can annex US land and make a new country from it.

  In that case, the Jews bought most if the land or found it unowned. And in regards to land that was abandoned, didn’t that happen over 60 years ago. So it now belongs to the Israelis, right?
