Having Told the Truth About Israel , the BBC Promptly Apologised – Presenter Anjana Gadgil had said that ‘Israel is Happy to Kill Palestinian Children’

Israel’s Army Killed 4 Children and Wrecked the Al Tafawk Children’s Centre in Jenin – All in ‘Self Defence’

Al Jazeera Film on Israel’s Propaganda War

In May 2021, as the world’s eyes were on Israel’s attack on Gaza, Israeli soldiers wrecked the Al Tafawk Children’s Centre in Jenin. They even took the time and trouble to tear up the children’s reading books. This is the hate that Zionism engenders.

Last week Israel’s military went even further. They not only wrecked the interior, they damaged the exterior walls of the Centre, punching large holes in them, demolishing the balcony. This is understandable. To Zionism Palestinian children are what Jewish children were to the Nazis. The embodiment of a satanic people.

On October 4 1943, in Posen (Poznan), Himmler explained why it was necessary to kill not just Jewish adults but their children too:

Thus I did not feel I had the right to exterminate – let’s say then, kill them or have them killed – the men while I allowed their avengers, in the form of their children, to grow up and avenge them upon our sons and grandsons.

The BBC – Allergic to the Truth

Despite killing 4 children in Jenin, making some 35 Palestinian children in the West Bank this year, the BBC apologised because Anjana Gadgil told the truth for once and said that ‘Israel is Happy to Kill Palestinian Children’ when questioning former Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett. Bennet is on record as saying that 'I've Killed Lots Of Arabs In My Life And There's No Problem With That'.

Bennett’s claim that the children that Israel kills are ‘terrorists’ is a lie but in the eyes of the Zionists, Palestinians by definition are terrorists.

Jenin – Middle East International

I have therefore submitted a complaint to the BBC about their apology to the Zionist lobby for Gadgil’s remarks and asked them to withdraw it and also apologise for Gadgil having accepted that the term ‘terrorist’ applies to Palestinian children anyway. (see below)

‘Her smile never left her face’

By Basel Adra July 5, 2023

In a previous military raid in Jenin, the army killed seven Palestinians, including 15-year-old Sadeel Naghniyeh, who according to witnesses was shot in the head while standing at the entrance to her home. Her death began reverberating after images of her fellow classmates carrying her body for burial went viral.

Sadeel was shot on June 19, and died of her wounds two days later. Her father Ghassan described the scene to +972:

“The alarms started going off in the camps, we heard screaming, and people began running to their homes. This is a scene that repeats itself in every invasion of the camp. Israeli snipers went up to the roofs of the houses and buildings and began shooting. The clashes were not close to our house, we only heard them. My daughter was speaking to her cousins through the window, and told me that she wanted to go to her uncle’s house. I told myself that it is better that she go and not talk through the window, since doing so is more dangerous because of the snipers.”

This is Kareem! The sweetest child in the Al Tafawk Centre - his father has just been killed and he is homeless! 

The reality of Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children, which the BBC deliberately ignores was highlighted by the new Save the Children Report which showed that:

·                During arrest, 42% of children were injured, including gunshot wounds and broken bones, and 65% of children were arrested during the night, mostly between midnight and dawn. Half of all arrests took place in the children’s home.

·                The majority of children experienced appalling levels of physical and emotional abuse, including being beaten (86%), being threatened with harm (70%), and hit with sticks or guns (60%).

·                Some children reported violence and abuse of a sexual nature, including being hit or touched on the genitals and 69% reported being strip searched.

·                60% of children experienced solitary confinement with the length of time varying from one 1 day to as long as 48 days.  

·                Children were denied access to basic services, 70% said they suffered from hunger and 68% said they didn’t receive any healthcare.   

·                58% of children were denied visits or communication with their family while detained.

·                The majority of children detained are boys – a trend reflected by the survey, with boys representing 97% of the respondents.

The Anti-Boycott Bill

As 1000 Israeli soldiers were launching a blitzkrieg on Jenin Refugee Camp, together with drones and helicopters, British MPs gave a second reading to the anti-Boycott Bill which is designed to protect the right of Israel to commit war crimes and to make solidarity action with the Palestinians illegal.

In Israel’s British apologists are enabling this violence former Guardian correspondent David Hearst wrote that:

‘Every word that Keir Starmer or Lisa Nandy utter in support of the 'Jewish homeland' sends a very clear message to Israel that it can carry on doing what it wants.’

Israel has openly fascist and neo-Nazi Ministers in power such as Police and Security Minister, Itamar ben Gvir, who used to hang a portrait of Baruch Goldstein on his living room wall. Goldstein opened fire in February 1994 in the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron massacring 29 Palestinian worshippers. Ben Gvir, who used to chant ‘death to the Arabs’, has recently told his supporters to change the chant to ‘Death to the terrorists’.

The BBC’s craven apology speaks volumes about the organisation. But let us have a look at the child ‘terrorists’ that Israel has murdered.

On June 2 a two-year-old Palestinian boy Mohammed al-Tamimi died after being shot in the head near Nabi Saleh by Israeli soldiers while riding in a car with his father. The army later said that the death was ‘unintentional’ and that the soldier would be reprimanded.

Four children murdered on Gaza beach playing hide and seek

In 2014 during Operation Protective Edge Israel murdered 551 Palestinian children. No doubt they too were terrorists, like the 4 children playing hide and seek on Gaza’s beach. Israel later described their death as a ‘tragic accident’.

In 2018 during the Great Return March from Gaza, Israeli snipers opened fire killing 50 children and some 266 unarmed demonstrators. The snipers injured 30,000 others. The bullets they used were deliberately designed to cause maximum damage to the human body.

Israel’s attack on Jenin needs to be seen in the context of the remarks by Ben-Gvir, an ex-supporter of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who called for the murder of hundreds, if not thousands of Palestinians.

Jenin is laying the basis for a second Nakba. Thousands of Palestinians were forced out of their home and forced to wander the streets of the refugee camp, without food or water, as Israeli troops occupied their homes.

Mustafa Sheta described how the invasion began with a devastating attack on The Freedom Theatre, where a group of families had sought refuge. Even the most dishonest Israeli Embassy liar would be hard pushed to explain why this symbol of Palestinian culture was attacked, the road outside being destroyed.

The attack on Jenin refugee camp decimated its infrastructure and obliterated the main roads in the camp.

Hospitals in Jenin treated dozens who were wounded during the military operation but residents said that ambulances, in many cases, were unable to reach and evacuate those hurt.

The Jenin municipality said that the water supply had been cut off throughout the refugee camp because infrastructure had suffered damage in the fighting.

The city’s power grid also suffered significant damage due to operations by the Israel Defense Forces’ engineering corps. Residents said that both electricity and internet service was disrupted. Sami Bakr, who lives in the refugee camp, said:

Israeli Military Bulldozer

“I heard bulldozers, and suddenly we saw them destroying the roads leading to the refugee camp to prevent people from leaving or entering it,” he said. “There are still forces there, and the residents are very afraid. The vast majority aren’t opening their windows.”

Bakr said that residents had been under siege since the morning, without electricity or internet. “There are wounded people who still haven’t been evacuated from the camp because the medical crews can’t enter.”

Urabi Hamad, a Jenin resident who lives near the camp, said that in his neighbourhood “we can’t leave or enter” adding:

 “There are still many forces in the area. The media are also still under siege, and the medical teams can’t move. The fear is horrible. We hear shooting and explosions all the time, and we’re afraid it will escalate and expand. There’s a lot of destruction everywhere.”

Doing Israel’s Dirty Work – The Palestinian Authority

It would also appear that another purpose of the attack on Jenin was to do the dirty work for the Palestinian Authority Israel’s military subcontractor. The PA hasn’t been able to operate in Jenin refugee camp for months.

Last Sunday the Israeli Security Cabinet decided that they would ‘act to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority’ although this was opposed by Police Minister Ben Gvir with Smotrich abstaining. Smotrich, who is the effective Governor of the West Bank stated that ‘There will be no economic relief for the Palestinians.” 

The Jenin operation didn’t end. Phase Two has already begun.

After a PA delegation to the funeral of Jenin’s 12 martyrs was kicked out of the camp by mourners incensed at PA inaction, a ministerial committee was formed by presidential order to lead the reconstruction effort. Another Fatah delegation composed of members of its central committee returned on Saturday, July 8, to meet with members of the Jenin Brigade. The day after that, yet another delegation made up of PA ministers also arrived and made the rounds. The PA presence started to be normalized. See

According to PAJU, MahmoudAbbas the so-called Palestinian President visited Jenin on Wednesday to a hostile reception. In advance of his coming 1,000 PA security force members were deployed to Jenin. Rami, a Jenin resident was quoted as saying:

“We don’t need any help from the Palestinian Authority … you have been meeting [with the enemy] under the table,,, The Palestinian Authority is our occupier, not Israel.”

It also reported that ahead of Abbas’s visit

‘PA troops were spotted removing the flags of Gaza-based resistance groups Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), both of which enjoy great support across the West Bank.’

The same Israeli Judges Who Are the Bulwark of Israeli Jewish Democracy Enable the Military Dictatorship in the West Bank

The military subjugation of the Palestinians in the West Bank is backed to the hilt by Israel’s Zionist judges. The Supreme Court has consistently supported the demolition of the houses of families of Palestinian ‘terrorists’ whilst at the same time refusing to countenance the destruction of the homes of Jewish terrorists.

The ‘reason’ for this racist discrimination was explained in a 2015 ruling by Noam Sohlberg in the High Court. Sohlberg justified this openly racist discrimination by claiming that home demolition serves as a deterrent, and that the Jewish public was already “deterred and not incited.” Sohlberg acknowledged the existence of Jewish terrorism, but asserted,

“The difference exceeds the similarity in many aspects, and particularly… regarding mass attitudes: firm, wall-to-wall condemnation in the Jewish community, which is not the case on the opposite side.”

Largest Military Operation in Jenin as Israel Strikes Palestine Hard | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Sohlberg is a settler from Alon Shvut. A Sohlberg doctrine that is relevant to current events is his support for the lenient treatment of Jewish terrorism. As Yoana Gonen explained

From the outset, this was a shameful justification based upon a racist gut feeling rather than facts….  Appalling pogroms and acts of terror committed by hundreds of bloodthirsty settlers have become routine. Houses are torched with their occupants inside; masked Jews hurl rocks at cars and fire guns at Palestinian localities; thuggish gangs go after Arabs on both sides of the Green Line; and rather than “firm, wall-to-wall condemnation,” these acts receive the helpful turning of a blind eye or outright enthusiastic support on the right.

A few days ago Ben-Gvir told lawbreakers at the illegal outposts, “Run to the hilltops, we have your back.” In fact there is a ‘wall-to-wall’ refusal in the right-wing parties to avoid issuing any condemnation, including Prime Minister Netanyahu. Meanwhile, among the Jewish public, a sickening song of praise to the pogrom in Hawara has become a hit and can be heard at protests in support of the judicial overhaul.

Instead of combating the settler violence coalition members launched a grammatical battle over the definition of “terror” and lashed out at officials who called it that. National Missions Minister Orit Strock, whose son was convicted of abusing a Palestinian minor, said it was a “disgrace” to label the Jewish pogroms ‘terror’, and Finance Minister Smotrich described it as “morally unacceptable and genuinely dangerous.”

These events reveal the fraud in Sohlberg’s words, which purport to be an objective legal argument, but in fact stem from Jewish Supremacist notions that inspire Strock and Smotrich. Like these ministers, Sohelberg considers terror to be something that only Arabs engage in and as something that Jews are genetically incapable of.

 Pogroms in Palestine, Settler Violence & Terror is the precursor to deportation and transfer

In this short 2 minute video from Breaking the Silence Yehuda Shaul describes the routine violence and intimidation of the Palestinian population

Last weekend there was a pogrom in Hebron. 26-year-old Yousef Azzeh described the violence that he and other Palestinians in Hebron experienced from Jewish settlers last weekend.

“There were 50 settlers here. There was no one here to help me. One of them punched me in the shoulders and in the back,”

An estimated 40,000 Jews descended on Hebron. Azzeh described how:

“My head started spinning. I ran away so that they would follow me and not come to my house. I didn’t have any strength, and I couldn’t breathe. I fell down and screamed and then I saw soldiers beating my friends while there were settlers above my house,”

Israelis can freely move around Yousef Azzeh Hebron Tel Rumeida while Palestinians are subject to continual limitations. One of Azzeh’s neighbors is Baruch Marzel, the far-right disciple of the neo-Nazi Rabbi Meir Kahane.

Azzeh alerted soldiers, who arrived and whom he showed the stones that were thrown in the yard. Ten minutes after they left, other Israeli civilians appeared and again threw stones at the house. When he walked toward them, they hit him, he said.

The only Jews arrested were an off-duty soldier who attacked a Border Police officer and a settler who attacked the bodyguard of Itamar Gvir. Jews who attacked fellow Jews were arrested because that is a crime whereas attacking Palestinians is no crime.

Soldiers described how

“We tried to gain control over the situation and every time, Jews showed up and threw stones and we didn’t manage to catch them... At the height of the incident, hundreds of Jews came and started calling us Germans and spitting on us.”

Israeli forces stand guard to secure a path for settlers

‘I couldn’t breathe’: A weekend of settler violence in Hebron

According to a soldier, there was no real preparation for dealing with unruly settlers.

“We were warned before the event that it might happen, but we were under pressure, working 24/7. There was no briefing on the matter. [The settlers] felt they could do whatever they wanted. I personally hesitated to handcuff them, or to throw a stun grenade at them, which is a legitimate means [of crowd control]. As a policy, there was no heavy handedness against [the settlers]. I did not see anyone being detained. There were 30,000 people here, so hundreds [participated in the violence]. It’s only a [small] percentage, but they managed to make a real mess.

“There are no clear orders,” the soldier continued.

“I know how to deal with Palestinians, but with Israelis I hesitate. I didn’t have the option [on Saturday]. I was with heavy equipment, and [the settlers] were throwing [stones] and then running away. If we were a bigger force, I hope I would have arrested [them], but it’s hard to say.”

That doesn’t stop Starmer, Sunak and the political class using the IHRA misdefinition of ‘anti-Semitism’ to describe those who call Israel a racist state as anti-Semitic. Well here we have a good example of such racism. Is that anti-Semitic? According to the IHRA ‘yes’.

Ha’aretz described how soldiers in Hebron said they had worked diligently to prepare the situation on the ground for the arrival of hundreds of people. But they had not been briefed to expect violence coming from Jews, which had not been anticipated. One soldier described their problem:

 “I know what to do with the Palestinians,” however he hesitated regarding how to deal with the Jews. “I’ve seen disturbances and clashes in my [military] service, but I had never seen anything like this.” The rioters were not local Jewish residents, he said. “They were newly religious and marginal youth from all over the country,” the soldier claimed.

And there you have it. Soldiers aren’t trained to defend Palestinians against Jewish pogromists because their duty is to protect settlers from Palestinians. Here is a clear example of how the behaviour of soldiers is conditioned by whether someone is Jewish or Palestinian. Racist? Perish the thought.

Masked men set Palestinian cars on fire in West Bank

In Hebron Palestinians 'Never Seen Anything Like' Weekend Violence From Jewish Worshippers Ha’aretz describes in detail the constant attacks and violence from the settlers whilst the army stood by. But when Palestinians defended themselves then they went into action. Which was exactly what happened to Jews subject to pogroms in Europe. Israel has become a mirror image of European anti-Semitism as racists like Starmer and Labour Friends of Israel defend the indefensible.

But this is not a problem of the military alone. It is their political masters who dictate that they must treat Palestinians and Jews differently.

In December last year, Security Minister Omar Bar-Lev condemned, under pressure from the United States, settler violence against the Palestinians. What was the reaction of Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett? A condemnation of the condemnation.

Killed While Trying to Save a Family from Israeli Soldiers

“Settlers in Judea and Samaria have suffered daily from violence and terrorism for decades,” Bennett tweeted: “They serve as a protective wall for all of us and we must protect them in word and a deed.”

The reaction of Interior Minister, Ayelet Shaked, a notorious racist who once called for genocide in Gaza, was even worse. Bar-Lev was ‘confused’ for condemning settler violence.

“The settlers are the salt of the earth,” she wrote on Twitter. “The violence that one needs to be shocked by is the dozens of cases of the throwing of rocks and Molotov cocktails at Jews that occur every day, just because they are Jews,

This is of course a lie. Palestinians throw stones (against heavily armed soldiers!) because of such trivial matters such as home demolitions, arbitrary arrests, armed incursions etc.

 Fellow Yamina Minister Matan Kahana called for Barlev to retract his statement on settler violence. MK Bezalel Smotrich, head of the far-right Religious Zionism faction, who is pushing to become Israel’s new ‘Defence’ Minister merely called Barlev “a bastard.”

This is from the man who called for Jewish women giving birth to be separated from Arab women in case of racial pollution. Now Bezalel is going to be in charge of the ‘civilian’ military administration in the West Bank. Anti-Palestinian violence has now been all but legalised.

Quoting Ha’aretz, the Times of Israel admitted that in just 10 days in October there were 100 settler attacks on Palestinians.

In recent weeks, the security establishment has identified an alarming increase in acts of violence by settlers throughout the West Bank,”

This massive upsurge in violence against Palestinians has a purpose. It isn’t merely random. The aim is to force Palestinians off the land by burning olive groves and attacking those who pick the fruit. In almost every case where there were Israeli soldiers they stood by and watched if not encouraged the settlers.

Masked men throw stones at Palestinians and activists in West Bank village

But for the Zionist Right (who control two-thirds of the Knesset seats) the only violence comes from Palestinians which they call ‘terror’. When Palestinians defend themselves the army and police quickly move in to attack them with tear gas, rubber bullets and worse.

I have compiled a list of such attacks to demonstrate the complicity of the Israeli state in the attacks. These are not one-off incidents but part of a cumulative pattern whose intent is clear – to drive Palestinians off the land as part of the overall project of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians of the West Bank.

This violence and intimidation is widely supported because as the ‘moderate’ ‘centrist’ former Prime Minister Yair Lapid said,

My principle says maximum Jews on maximum land with maximum security and with minimum Palestinians.”

Lapid was praised by Western leaders for supporting a Palestinian state when any such state would be demilitarised, lacking any sovereignty and subject  to Israeli army incursions. But even this parody of a Bantustan is not going to come into existence.

Ayid Mashani,

In an article There's Only One Way to Describe This Settler Attack: A Pogrom Gideon Levy described how on November 3

A Palestinian family was harvesting olives when a group of settlers swooped down and attacked them with clubs, pipes and stones. Five members of the family were hospitalized, including the 65-year-old father of the household and one of his sons, whose shattered leg will need costly, ongoing rehab. The 8-year-old grandson hid under the family’s pickup

Entering the home of the Mashani family in the small town of Al-Shuyukh, north of Hebron in the West Bank, is like paying a visit to a rehabilitation ward in a hospital. Almost every member of the family is hurt, some remain in bandages, a few are limping and all of them have wounds to show us – some of them quite serious.

Needless to say the Israeli Police have done nothing. But if the roles were reversed the Palestinian attackers would have been arrested, probably beaten up, languishing indefinitely in a cell. And then there are some people who claim that Zionism is not racist.

In a particularly egregious case of a settler attack, a Palestinian man had both arms broken and then the army arrested him!

Jewish Settlers break both my father's arms and then the army arrest him

Hafez Huraini, 52, was working on his family’s land with his son Muhammad on the outskirts of their village of at-Tuwani in Masafer Yatta, in the southern occupied West Bank, when a group of armed Israeli settlers from the nearby Havat Ma’on outpost attacked them.

“Five settlers attacked them, some had guns, at least one of them had an M16 rifle, and the others were carrying metal pipes. One of the settlers started hitting them with the metal pipe, breaking my dad’s left arm,”

Sami Huraini, 24, Hafez’s son, recounted to Mondoweiss.

“My dad fell to the ground, and they kept beating him, until they broke his right arm too,” Sami said. “Then the settler with the gun started firing live bullets in the air.”

“Dozens of soldiers arrived at the scene after the settlers called them. My dad was lying on the ground, both his arms were broken, but the soldiers started hitting us and pushing us back while the settlers stood behind them,”

Hafez Huraini, beaten by settlers who broke both his arms. The Israeli army the arrested him for attacking the settlers!

Sami said the settlers were “giving orders” to the soldiers, telling them to arrest his father and other residents of at-Tuwani at the scene. As the Israeli soldiers continued to push around the Palestinians, an ambulance from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society arrived at the scene. “The EMTs started treating my dad and giving him first aid. The whole time they were doing this the soldiers and settlers were pushing and shoving us,” Sami said.

Mohammed Mashani, with his son Tair

“When we picked my dad up on the stretcher and tried to put him on the ambulance, the soldiers started pushing us back, and saying they wanted to arrest him, because the settlers said he hit them,”

he continued.

Late into the night on Monday, the Huraini family learned through their lawyer that their father had been taken to a detention center inside the Kiryat Arba settlement in Hebron, where he was to undergo interrogation.

The family’s lawyer was allowed to speak to Hafez for a few minutes before he was taken in for questioning, though the lawyer was not allowed to be present during the interrogation.

According to Sami, the army is accusing his father of attacking a settler – a crime that could carry a sentence of several years in prison if he’s officially charged and convicted.

“This is a clear representation of the Apartheid system that we live under,” Sami said.

Sami said that the residents of at-Tuwani have long come under attacks from Israeli settlers, who are rarely ever arrested or held accountable for their crimes.

“We know from our experience that the settlers hold the power. They can turn their attacks around on us, and the army will arrest and imprison him [Hafez] for anything, on bogus charges based on settlers’ false testimonies,”  he said.

Human rights groups, like B’Tselem, report that the army frequently colludes with settlers in their attacks on Palestinians. “Instead of taking preventive action, the Israeli authorities aid and abet the settlers in harming Palestinians and using their land,” the group said.

According to B’Tselem, since 2020, the group has documented 757 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians and their property.

In the rare case that an investigation is opened into settler violence against Palestinians, Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group that documents incidents of settler violence in the West Bank, says the vast majority of those investigations are closed.

The group says that 92% of investigations into ideological crimes against Palestinians are closed with no indictment filed.

‘It was like a war zone’

Around the same time that Hafez Huraini was detained and evacuated in an ambulance, Israeli forces arrested two other Palestinians from Masafer Yatta who are still in custody.

Shortly after, dozens more Israeli troops raided the village of at-Tuwani, and began a massive detention operation that would last for hours into the early morning

“This is all part of their ethnic cleansing plans, and their efforts to scare us, intimidate us, and coerce us out of our homes,” Sami said, referring to Israeli plans to force over 1,000 Palestinians in Masafer Yatta out of their homes to make way for an Israeli firing zone.

“The settlers can live happily while they attack us, and while the soldiers attack us. They want to threaten us, and scare us so we stop resisting their plans,” Sami said. “But our willpower is strong.”

As of Tuesday night local time, Israeli forces were raiding at-Tuwani for the second night in a row, throwing tear gas and sound bombs at peoples homes.

10 days later, after a video emerged, the military court in Ofer released Hafez with stringent conditions, including staying away from his own land. No such conditions were imposed on the settlers who attacked him because, of course, they were never arrested. See

Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian man, breaking both his arms. Then the army arrested him.

Settler invasion of Ramallah exposes PA impotence

You may remember how the ‘bubble’ of Ramallah where the PA is based was held up by Israel and the PA itself as a showcase of how economic independence can lead to an improvement in the situation of the Palestinians.

two boys held up by Israeli soldiers outside their homes, in Ramallah’s Al-Tireh neighborhood

Yet on October 13 Israel demonstrated what it thought of its tame Palestinian lapdog. Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Tireh neighborhood in Ramallah, conductingTalmudic prayers and ceremonies. This practice, among other strategies, has been commonly employed by religious settlers as a means of providing the Israeli Supreme Court with legal grounds to take over Palestinian land. The invasion of Ramallah neighborhoods by these settlers indicates that the settler movement has become emboldened in its goal of accelerating the ethnic cleansing of Palestine,

The PA Prime Minister lives in the Al-Tireh neighborhood, only a few kilometers away from the Muqata’a (the PA’s headquarters in Ramallah), highlighting how easily the Israeli army can creep into the main area of PA sovereignty without repercussions.

Palestinians carry the body of Raafat Issa.

Below are just some of the many stories on the increasing violence and terror of the settlers and their protectors in the Israeli army. With the advent of the new far-Right coalition of Netanyahu this situation can only get worse as Israel is determined to ensure that Area C is ethnically cleansed and that Palestinians living there are driven off the land.
