“US now to ‘prioritize’ pushing Israel to stop demolishing terrorists’ homes,” by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel, July 9, 2021:
The State Department will prioritize pushing Israel to end its controversial policy of demolishing the homes of terrorists, a spokesperson said Thursday, with the US’s top diplomat already bringing the issue up with senior officials in Israel.
The comments from State Department spokesman Ned Price came hours after the administration of US President Joe Biden leveled rare criticism at Israel for razing of the home of a Palestinian-American suspected in a deadly West Bank shooting attack, marking a likely point of friction amid efforts between Washington and Jerusalem to rehabilitate ties.
“We attach a good deal of priority to this, knowing that the home of an entire family shouldn’t be demolished for the action of one individual,” Price said when asked about the matter at a daily press briefing, adding that the US would continue to raise its concerns “as long as this practice continues.”
Price’s comment appeared to reflect a shift from previous administrations, which had not made as large an issue out of Israeli home demolitions.
“There is a critical need to lower the temperature in the West Bank. Punitive demolitions exacerbate tensions at a time when everyone should be focused on principally ensuring calm,” Price said.
Price said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior State Department officials had raised the issue with their Israeli counterparts ahead of the Thursday morning demolition of the West Bank family home of Muntasir Shalabi, who allegedly shot dead Israeli student Yehuda Guetta, 19, in May.
A Hebrew-language report Thursday indicated that Foreign Minister Yair Lapid had not been aware of the looming demolition.
Channel 13 reported that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett did not update Lapid before it moved forward, after days of delay attributed to US objections over the matter….

Maybe Old Joe could work out a deal with his friends in China to give these terrorist families a new home in China. I hear they have entire cities full of empty buildings there. They also have entire camps full of Muslims where the families might be feel at home.

I am finding it difficult to equate the murder of a house to the murder of a human being. BUT, if the house is so important to the murderer maybe his ilk might think twice before committing murder — assuming, of course, that he thought once in the first place. BTW, the family will be well paid while he is in prison so they will easily be able to afford a new house.
Real nitpicking by the U.S.

The reality is that in respect of Israel and the history of that area, America is afflicted with some really very ignorant and stupid individuals who are guided by their ideology, not facts. Blinken is just one.

Notice closely the face of Antony Blinken in the photo above. He is Biden’s Secretary of State and his face resolutely confirms what George Orwell opined, to wit, that by 50 everyone has the face they deserve.
Antony Blinken is 59 and his face has appeasement written all over it as much as Neville Chamberlain’s umbrella betokened capitulation to evil.

Zee do not have to worry about anything the Mail-in guy’s clowns talk about. Klaus Schwab is now warning us “Zee will have to have lockdowns to implement “Zero Carbon Targets”. Food shortages are next.

I will always stand up for the Jewish people. They have a right to their land and that is never going to change. Their Messiah died for me so I will live for him. No cost is too great.

Tearing down the family home hasn’t really worked to stop the terrorists from attacking so next maybe tear down the houses of the clan members and if that doesn’t work tear down the houses of the entire tribe. That’s where the arab loyalty lies, the family just moves in with clan members so it’s not a big deal. go after them where it hurts.
