The Israeli state has swung into action against a group of Palestinian activists who established a tent village on a rocky hillside east of Jerusalem, with hundreds of security officials carrying out an eviction under the orders of the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

According to activists, a large military force surrounded the encampment at around 3am. All protesters were arrested and six were injured, said Abir Kopty.

On Saturday evening, Netanyahu demanded the Israeli supreme court overturn an injunction preventing the removal of the protesters, and ordered the area to be declared a closed military zone.

Around 200 Palestinian activists set up the village, named Bab al-Shams ("gate of the sun") and comprising around 20 tents, early on Friday morning on a highly sensitive swath of land known as E1 which Israel has earmarked for settlement development. The protesters' actions echoed the tactics of radical settlers when establishing outposts in the West Bank.

The tents were erected on privately owned Palestinian land, the protesters said, with the full permission of the landowners. The activists sought legal protection from the supreme court, which granted an injunction against eviction and gave the state of Israel up to six days to respond.

Palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti, who was among those arrested, said the eviction was "proof that the Israeli government operates an apartheid system. Firstly it decided that supreme court decisions do not apply to Palestinians. And secondly, there are more than 120 Israeli outposts in the West Bank that are illegal even under Israeli law. Not only are they still there, but they are expanding and they are being legalised one after another. We were there for less than 48 hours, and the state used violent force against a non-violent peaceful resistance movement."

Asked why the protesters were removed, Netanyahu said: "They have no reason to be there. I asked immediately to close the area so people would not gather there needlessly and generate friction and disrupt public order."

Why is it that I find overwhelming anti-semitism on every forum I visit? Whether it's here or zerohedge there always seems to be hatred of Jews. I truly don't understand it. I guess you all thought Hitler was great too?

You hate Palestinians? I'm palestinian, dickfor. You know nothing about anything, and this newsfeed should be limited to gaming related news. Not this political crap.
This is the user-submitted news feed. In addition to political news you'll find news about school shootings...

And even other things like science news.

Don't like a thread? Don't click on it and you won't need to read it. Simple concept.

Don't like the mere sight of it? Then stay out of here and stick to reading the main GBAtemp page, where the official news reports are.

I really hate the Palestinians so I could give shit what happens to them

I love the double standard shown here. I bet if someone said...

I really hate the Israelis so I could give shit what happens to them

or...

I really hate the Jews so I could give shit what happens to them

You (and many others) would start throwing a shit fit.

Criticism does not entail anti-semitism - the fact that someone's Jewish doesn't automatically make his/her decisions immune to criticism, being Jewish doesn't make a person's decisions universally infallible.

The U.S is not, or perhaps I should say "should not be", since its external politics sure make it seem like it feels like the world's #1 Police Officer. Americans are already intervening too much in other people's affairs and that gradually runs the country into the ground financially - they really need to cut it out.

they have already done wrong in many countries. can't they do right for once? interfering is wrong when u personally try to 'invade' but advising and dialogue is never wrong. they are not saying much is what i am asking.

Ever since the Palestinians cheered in the streets and gave out candy on 9/11 I've hated them. There never was a Palestine, they're simply Arabs, they're a made up people who teach their children to be suicide bombers.

I wonder how many people hate America because of their Tyranny on other countries. Hmm lemme see, in recent times Iraq, Afghanistan, drones in countries like Yemen and Pakistan, no doubt there is more. I guess when America invade or back up the illegal state of Israel it is called 'justice' but when others fight back it is Terrorism.

Really? This video raises some questions, like, when was the country of Palestine founded, and by who? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? Where was Palestine's borders? What language did they speak, and what writing did they use? What was the name of its capital, or its other major cities? What was Palestine's currency or form of government? Who were its kings or rulers? Name at least 5 Palestinian leaders before Arafat?
