    Ziad Amer, the father of suspected killer Zeid, says dozens of Israeli vehicles raided the town of Nablus early on Tuesday and demolished the family’s apartment. He said his appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court against it was rejected.

    Israel says it carries out demolition to deter attacks by letting militants know their families will pay a price for their actions. The Palestinians consider it to be a form of collective punishment.

    Since mid-September, Palestinian attacks have killed 28 Israelis and two Americans. Some 200 Palestinians have been killed over the same time, the vast majority in what Israel says have been attacks or attempted attacks.

    The Palis consider this a form of collective punishment? And is it not a form of collective punishment when the families of the murdered or maimed Israelis who are attacked by these “frustrated” uncivilized beasts have to live the rest of their lives with emotional pain and suffering?

    It took an entire year to convince the self-appointed-for-life-pro-Arab judges in the Supreme Court of Injustice to demolish the home of a terrorist. Sick!
