Israel begins demolitions of Palestinian homes near Jerusalem

Israeli forces began demolishing buildings near a military barrier on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Monday, in the face of Palestinian protests and international criticism.

Bulldozers accompanied by hundreds of Israeli soldiers and police moved in to Sur Baher, a Palestinian village on the edge of East Jerusalem in an area that Israel captured and occupied in the 1967 Middle East War.

Palestinians fear that the razing of homes and buildings near the fence will set a precedent for other towns along the route of the barrier, which runs for hundreds of kilometers around and through the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

That's a great name for 'em, Ghost.
But since they're goin' to Israel, could we call 'em "The Rachel Corrie Brigade" and send them to the bulldozers???

Given what I've heard of Israeli practices, those "homes" were probably used in some way by "protesters", who probably did more than shout slogans. That is what Israel does to the homes of the likes of suicide bombers and others slightly less violent. Not that Al Arabiya is likely to include that information.
