Rule #103 • Prohibition on Collective Punishments
(Customary and IHL), has noting to do with the demolishment of homes or sanctuaries used by Arab Palestinian Terrorists, perpetrating "criminal acts directed against a Israel
(the Occupying Power and citizens of the Occupying Power) and intended or calculated to create a state of terror in the minds of particular persons or a group of persons
(Jews) or the general public."
The counter-terrorism actions are also considering:
❖ The open admission of guilt by the Palestinians Authority.
❖ The payment and honors rendered for the perpetration of the criminal acts.
❖ The past history of blatant criminal behaviors.

Did they destroy the homes of any Jewish terrorists?
(COMMENT)
An important aspect of Counter-Terrorism (CT) can be seen as an obligation (both crime prevention and Human Rights protection) in that Israel has an obligation to safeguard the "Right to Life."
Article 6 • International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR)
Every human being has the inherent right to life.
This right shall be protected by law.
No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.
While Rule #50 •
(Customary and IHL) • The destruction or seizure of the property of an adversary is prohibited, unless required by imperative military necessity • protects the Homes of the Arab Palestinians to a degree, it does not protect the Homes from
"Measures to prevent and combat terrorism;" specifically:
The Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in the form of a resolution and
an annexed Plan of Action
(A/RES/60/288)
To cooperate fully in the fight against terrorism,
in accordance with our obligations under international law,
in order to find, deny safe haven and bring to justice, on the basis of the principle of extradite or prosecute,
any person who supports facilitates, participates or attempts to participate in the financing, planning,
preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts or provides safe havens.
It must be understood that the UN does not have the will and capability to prevent a safe haven from forming, and does not have the will and capability to eradicate that safe havens and terrorist sanctuaries. It is no effort at all to sit in New York and ignore the realities of Arab Palestinians providing material supporting to known terrorist organizations. It is just a blind eye and the ignorant understanding of the difference between a heroic freedom fighter that actually engages the enemy --- and --- the terrorist that selects soft targets only, target that are unarmed and not engaged in the conflict, and the terrorist that hides behind its own population, using them as a shield.
The reality is, that the UN plays no real part in the settlement of the conflict. It is merely a juice box for a bunch of cowardly criminals that are trying to bilk the donor community for ever dime it can get.
Most Respectfully,
