JERUSALEM (Ma'an)

-- Israeli forces on Monday bulldozed five steel structures belonging to a Palestinian community in the East Jerusalem town of al-Eizariya, locals said.

A large group of Israeli forces raided the town after midnight and surrounded steel structures belonging to the Bedouin al-Jahalin community.

Israeli soldiers forcibly evicted five families from the structures, leaving 55 people homeless, Sami Abu Ghaliya, a spokesman of the al-Jahalin tribe council, told Ma'an.

The demolitions took place without giving residents time to gather their belongings. The structures housed a greengrocers and a car wash which provided the main source of income for the community.

2. It is fairly telling when a post about

a boycott against Israel brings forth the clutching of pears, renting of garments and general gnashing of keyboards...all trembling with calls of anti-Semitism, but when the Israelis contiune to actuall hurt Pakestinians snd their own citizens the same subjects are a mute as possible.

Now there is the resl racism.
