SHALL WE DESTROY OR SHALL WE BUILD?
The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions today posted on its website information about its 4th annual workcampin the Palestinian town of Anata on the West Bank.

Around 30 International volunteers ,Israelis and Palestinians have been working to build a home for the Hamden family.This Palestinian family consists of an elderly couple together with their son,his wife and their four children.Their family home was demolished by Israeli occupation forces in 2004.

Today was spent clearing the site and putting in concrete foundations which was difficult as plastic bullets were being fired by the occupation forces nearby.

Since 1967 12000 Palestinian homes in the illegally occupied West Bank have been demolished by the Israel armed occupying forces.

What is encouraging about the work of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions is that it shows that both Israelis and Palestinians can work together to oppose injustice and brutality.
