Then the bulldozers rolled
Tent of Nations farm near Bethlehem attacked, orchards destroyed
May 30, 2014
I would not have believed them, Rupert Neudeck, founder of the NGO Green Helmets, after Israeli government bulldozers leveled large sections of Tent of Nations,an internationally-known and respected peace project located on the 100-acre Nassar family farm near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Tent of Nations came under apparently unprovoked attack on May 19. Between 1,500 and 2,000 mature, fruit-bearing apricot and apple trees and grape vines were destroyed along with terraced land, according to numerous reports. The land has been in the Nassar family since 1916 and the current owner, Daoud Nassar, 44, works the only hilltop farm between Bethlehem and Hebron in Sector C of the West Bank that is not occupied by Israeli settlers.

Ugh. Tinmore, could you start a thread with this story? Its incredible.
First off, you need to know who you are talking to. Tinmore has openly insulted and laughed out, and made jokes about people who have lost their children to Palestinian terrorist, because they are jews and he doesn't care.
You are talking to an extremely evil man. I absolutely will not talk to someone who desperately evil. If you can, fine. But you need to know who it is you are talking to, and where you are getting information from.
As for the case of the Nassars and Israel, there are two sides to every store, and of course Tinmore isn't going to tell you the other side, because again.... he's evil man that laughs at people who have lost children, and he wants to attack Israelis any way he can.
Here's the rest of the story....

The Nassar family has legal Land Registration Documents, stamped by the Israeli Civil Administration, from 1920. These documents give clear proof that the Nassar family legally owns about half of the contested acres of land.
However, the family has been cultivating twice as much land, as they have documented ownership for.
When the case was brought to court, the Nassar Family only provided a hand drawn map. Of course, that's not legal proof of ownership, and never has been.
Under Israeli law, any land without clear title, can be annexed by local governments to expand into. For decades, the land was left alone, but now the local population needs room to grow, and under the law the local authorities have the right to annex that land, which has no clear legal ownership.
Of course the Jew haters have come out to rally around this, as if this is a special case. But it's not. Many Jews have also lost land they didn't have clear ownership of, to the expanding cities. The same happens in America, and I wager all over the world.
Does not make it right, but it certainly doesn't make it a 'special' case, except that people hate jews, and this involves jews, so it's 'special'.
As far as the knocking down of some of his buildings, the demolition orders have been in place since 2006. The fact they have given so much leniency to this case, shows they have not held the Nassars to a higher standard.
Additionally, the whole reason was that the Nassars had erected illegal structures without proper permits. Again, many jews have had their structures knocked down too, when they didn't have proper permits. The Nassars have not been singled out in any way.
Basically, this is just another case that society is messy, and no government gets everything perfect. We have the exact same problems here in the US, and every country does.
But because this involves jews, and we have hideously cruel evil people here on the forum, then this is yet another way they can attack jews.
My opinion? They have a court system, and legal ways to obtain permits. If they really have a case, fight it out in the Israeli court. If they lose, except it and move on with their life. Or they can fight until they die, and just die. If they want to waste their life, that's their choice.
