The ISSUE of home demolition, which has been a fact of life in the West Bank since 1967 demands immediate attention. Since the beginning of the "peace process", the Israeli government has accelerated the destruction of Palestinian homes. Israel contends that the demolitions are merely an act of law enforcement; however, the demolitions are unnecessary and based on unfair and obsolete laws. To deprive hundreds of people of their homes is deplorable enough, but Israel is using this brutal measure as a political tool to clear areas of the West Bank of a Palestinian presence prior to the final status negotiations.
