http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=642111JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces demolished an apartment building in Beit Hanina village north of Jerusalem early Tuesday morning, officials said.
Saeed Shwaiki, a member of the political bureau of the Palestinian Arab Front, told Ma'an that Israeli bulldozers demolished a house belonging to his cousin Rushdi Shwaidi in al-Ashqariya neighborhood of Beit Hanina.
Israeli forces surrounded the house at 4 a.m. and forced the family members to get out of the house during the demolition process. Dozens of residents gathered around the house, but were unable to prevent the house demolition or to stop the bulldozers.

Israel has destroyed more than 500 Palestinian properties in the West Bank and mostly East Jerusalem since the beginning of this year, displacing 862 people, according to UNOCHA.

the knob-headed pearl-clutching crowd try their dammed best to shut down any debate on the issue: seeing how they can't defend what is happening in the West Bank. Since they can't defend it, and know they are on the wrong side of history the best they can hope for it to scream about something else to distract attention.

They can try to distract, and it often works, but they can't hide facts. Anyone with an Internet connection and curiosity can see through the garbage. How long can this possibly continue?
