Imagine one day your home is being bulldozed over... Why? Because someone else wants your land to build their house. So they just steal it from you. Sounds like a nice thing to do to someone, right? I want what you have, so I'm taking it. It's all a "might makes right" devolved consciousness and way of living.

Well, that's Israel for you. Self-declaring itself a nation that didn't exist in 1948, right where another country existed. But who cares about that, the "chosen ones" can do whatever they want apparently... If you want to talk about "fake news", talk to the Zionists as they are kings of fake news and lies for decades as they continue to deceive people around the world about what they did, and still do.
Israeli authorities have been speeding up the demolition of homes in Palestine in 2016. B’Tselem has been tracking systemic demolition of Palestinian homes for 12 years, and this past year is the highest on record.
@btselem, Twitter
2016 saw 274 homes demolished in the West Bank, rendering 1134 individuals(including 591 miners) homeless. East Jerusalem had 73 Palestinian homes destroyed.
Israel has been actively pursuing a policy of minimizing the number of Palestinians on land that Israel stole or keeps stealing. The Israeli authorities prohibit legal construction by Palestinians and then claim that there is illegal construction being done by Palestinians in order to destroy their homes and take their land.
This is immoral behavior to engage in by any people, let alone people who purport themselves and try to elevate themselves above others as "chosen" people from some imaginary "god" while everyone else is mere cattle "goyim". This is in their own religious books, especially in their "more sacred" Talmud that many of them say is more important than the Torah/Tanakh.
Demolition of West Bank structures results in income loss, with 48 non-residential buildings also destroyed. Many of the structures demolished were providing humanitarian assistance to families in need. Some of them were even schools:
School before, @UN_Piper
School after, @UN_Piper
Gotta have a permit to have a home or school, or else they just destroy it and force you to move away, out of any current or former (now Israeli) Palestinian lands (they hope) so that they can have it all to themselves.
You might be wondering why this keeps going on. Isn't it obvious that this is wrong? Yes it is to many, including the UN who has condemned this many times, except not to self-deluded Zionists who are only concerned about what they can take from others.
The destruction of property in an occupied territory is prohibited under international law. Palestinians keep having their land stolen from them since 1948. They have a right to adequate housing and to receive humanitarian assistance, says the UN. Israel continues to occupy Palestinian lands that they didn't completely steal in 1948.
Some homes are destroyed for "illegal building", as mentioned, because Palestinians need homes to live in, and Israel doesn't grant them permits quick enough, so they build homes anyways to survive. But that's not acceptable to a supremacist totalitarian state like Israel. Many Israeli's recognize this immorality of their statist psychopaths, and try to get it to stop.
Other homes are not destroyed merely for "permit" violations. They are destroyed so that new Israeli settlements can be built by stealing more land and expanding the dream of "Eretz Israel" (Greater Israel) to take over parts of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt in order to re-create their fabled fictitious biblical land that they believe in their self-delusion was granted to them by some imaginary being called "god".
“This policy, which all authorities work to uphold, severely and directly violates the most fundamental human rights of tens of thousands of Palestinians, and indirectly those of hundreds of thousands more. At the same time, the policy also offers decisive evidence that Israel has long-term plans to continue controlling the area, while oppressing and dispossessing its residents."
What is Israel's justification? This is what the coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said:
"The Civil Administration conducts enforcement operations against illegal construction in Judea and Samaria in accordance with the political echelon’s instructions."
Israel didn't exist until 1948, while Palestine did. Then Israel was created all of a sudden in 1948. After a campaign to expel Palestinians, the new map of the area was redone. And Israel keeps growing and taking more land. It's all part of their "holy" quest for "Eretz Israel".

How did they get all the military power to take over another nation? Look into WWI, The Balfour Declaration, and WWII, to understand more of how this came about.
Even when Truman was handled into approving Israel by Zionist influences in the US power structure and presidency, he scratched out the deceleration that it was a state for "Jews":
Edwin M. Wright, American foreign policy specialist and expert in the Middle East during that time, wrote about how things happened regarding the signing. Here is one excerpt of his account:
The Jewish Agency knew what was going on, but the State Department and the U. N. didn't until after the announcement came out. The reason was that Mr. Truman wanted sole credit for the recognition of Israel. He did not want it to go to anyone else, because he was anxious for the Jewish vote and Jewish money.
Zionist-"Jewish" influence of American policy has extended up until at least the second Bush presidency with all the dual-citizen neo-cons being put into positions of power to head state apparatuses, like Homeland Security.
The rabbit hole goes deeper...

putting the fact that United States was the biggest supporter of Israel actions aside, USA used to control Israel time to time too(by not letting them making different mistakes and actually putting some politics in their way of invasion), I wonder with the new administration what will happen to Palestine, Israeli and countries in Middle-East(does not seem to be a very good future for people around here)

Words DON'T FUCKING HURT. They might say a lot about a person based on how you use them though, but if you don't like the way I am warning people about his lying ass and his ZIONIST views then just say that.
Respect is EARNED because you give it.
Now sit down around the fire for my story..
The first time I encountered him (from what I remember) he was crying about the "victims" of pizzagate, aka the artist that had very disturbing art in a family restaurant. What makes me angry is not that, people can defend whoever they like and I generally don't care, even if it's the defense of an artist, that has disturbing art in a "family" restaurant, from being "targeted" by pizzagate researchers, but when I went through his posts and saw that he DENIED classism and class warfare and defended a rothschild in the same post by trying to say that an ultra rich person is pretty much the same as everyone else then I saw he was my enemy. The end.
After that I didn't need to respect anything that asshole is saying, especially seeing that he defends Israel and the Zionist agenda, not just that he offers no respect to others and the evidence is there. Don't believe me! Go look at the evidence. Look at him lying about what everyone can see, dismissing important questions and basically trolling, a subtle trolling which is in my book endlessly more evil than "abusing" anybody with remarks or insults because they seek to dawn the appearance of sensibility just like a wolf in sheep's clothing, so respect has long sailed. He still hasn't answered for his lying ass, he still denies classism/class warfare, he still sympathizes with war criminal Israel, he is my enemy, I DON'T EXTEND RESPECT TO MY ENEMY, BUT SUBTLE AND OVERT WAR until my enemy ceases, until he is my enemy no more.

So you defend Israel because others self declared as a nation? Understandable, because that makes sense, self declare is not invasion, it's self declare. No logical fallacy, just undeniable facts: others invaded, so why can't israel, but israel didn't invade even, they self declared..
It's only a minor inconvenience that invasions and "self-declare" are not the same thing though, and that excusing a war criminal israel by saying "others did it too" is respectable..

Well you are right, every country has self declared itself as a nation, but a map of who occupied this land 3000 years ago is no proof of ownership, what about the people who were there 3001 years ago, if I'm not mistaken they were the Canaanites, what if their descendants (I guess there are people who can claim they descend from them) placed an older claim on the land? And even on this map, you can see Israel is much larger than it was then, so based on what right have they expanded? I am all for the rights of Israel to exist as a nation, but countries have borders which they have to stick to, as has so often been pointed out by Mr Trump, or does this only apply to first world countries?

Thank you for your comments, @gduran
Whether there are descendants of Canaanities or not, is a red herring.
Modern Israel's borders are the result of the United Nations & territory which Israel won in 1967 & 1973. While Trump is enforces his border, does it preclude any other country like india & Israel enforcing theirs?
Trump is increasing being proven correct about yellow journalism & fake news. More insidious is fake history & alt-history, @gduran
The United Kingdom
Two kingdoms, @gduran: Israel & Judah.
Jewish people are called Jews, from Judea, the kingdom of Judah
The country is Israel. Here's what the united Kingdom under David & Solomon looked like:
The Bible is replete with documentation about the land, even specific parts of the land belonging to whom. Jewish record-keeping was so meticulous that the geneaology of Jesus could be traced. There is extensive literature on this topic, including non-bibical sources like Josephus.
Unlike modern Israel which is self-declared, the rest of the Middle East has been manufactured primarily through Sykes-Picot.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with your arguments, now before anything I'll let you know my grandfather was a Jew so I actually look at Israel with a favorable view, but that doesn't mean I agree with all of Israel's policies, taking land that is not theirs is one of them.
I am surprised that you agree that taking land by force is ok, so I will ask you, what do you think of Russia's take over of Crimea?
"Unlike modern Israel which is self-declared, the rest of the Middle East has been manufactured primarily through Sykes-Picot."
That is wrong Israel was created by Britain and a few other countries who believed Jews should have their own country, Israel didn't just self-declare as you say.

On Russia, Ukraine & Crimea, @gduran
Russia, Ukraine & Crimea
Crimea
Through the 15th to 18th, the Crimean Khanate included Crimea & its territories.
In 1783, the Russian Empire annexed Crimea. After 1917, because of the Russian Revolution, Crimea was an autonomous republic within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic of the USSR, though downgraded to the Crimean Oblast in WW2.
In 1954, Krushchev transferred this Crimean Oblast to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic by Nikita Khrushchev for the "unity of Russians and Ukrainians...great and indissoluble friendship" between the two peoples.
Ukraine
In independent Ukraine in 1991, it morphed into the Autonomous Republic of Crimea .
Sevastopol has its own administration, within Ukraine outside of the Autonomous Republic.
Russia
As per the 1997 Russia-Ukraine Peace and Friendship Treaty signed by Crimea HQs the Russian Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol., the Soviet Black Sea Fleet assets divided between Russia's Black Sea Fleet and Ukraine's Navy. Sevastopol is the HQ of both Russia's Black Sea Fleet & the Ukranian navy.
The 2010 Russian Ukrainian Naval Base for Gas treaty, extends the Russia's lease of the Crimean facilities through 2042 with an option to renew lease every 5-years.
Does Russia have a claim on the Crimea? Yes
Does it justify its takeover of Crimea in the manner it is doing? No

Yes, Israel was carved out of the British UN mandate. Self-declaration or creation is a matter of semantics.
Ben-Gurion did not wait for final British withdrawal.

While some of your points are valid, this article has some terribly misleading ideas.
Today's settlements on the west bank are a huge problem, just like you mention. But this is a tiny part of Israel, and saying that the entire country doesn't deserve to exist is simply hate speech.
Your map showing how the land started off as "palestine" and ended up as Israel is also very misleading. in 1917 this land was NOT in the hands of the palestinian people. It was in the hands of the Ottoman empire, and then the british government. The name "palestine" is just historic.
You argue that the land was stolen, but much of it was given to Israel through the UN (see the Partitions Plan) or through peace treaties with neighbouring countries. No one took it away forcibly from anyone else.
Your recurring references to "zionisists" and "zionist influence" also borders on hate speech, and shows your true colors.
In conclusion, your portrayal of these events is only contributing to hate, and definitely not leading towards a better solution. The best current solution would be the two states solution, which will give the palestinians the land they deserve, with Israel existing by its side. As long as either side refuses to see that the other side also has the right to exist, no solution will come and the suffering will continue for them both.

Balance. I am learning every day what witnesses do, but my understanding is they have a lot of influence in the network.
I want to make sure the witnesses I vote for are not extremely biased, that they care to understand people as much as machines. Enough of an understanding of people to be able to explain things simply so that the less technically inclined too can participate in helping them maintain the network.
I would had expected, knowing about your religious leanings, that you would had tried to justify the theft of land. If you can justify the theft of land when seeing the pictures of the dismembered children, then you can justify the theft of steem when all you see is usernames.
