Other than Human Rights Watch (featured in article) where is the condemnation from the west? Any other nation and all hell breaks loose. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Russia, China, but Israel and suddenly barbaric behaviour and breaking international law is fine.

Simply because Israel is in terms of the west 'friends/allies' and the other countries are our (the west's) perceived (historic) enemies.

Russia. The cold war. Nearly caused WW3 with the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria. Terrorist attacks against the west, amongst other things
Libya. Lockerbie bombing, supplying Semtex to the IRA, amongst other things.
China. Simply because it's a ruthless dictatorship and has an extremely poor human rights record.

Another reason may be Israeli (Jewish) influence in the west, i.e. very prominent in politics, finance, media and the film industry.

Another reason may be the west wants to keep Israel on their side, not make an enemy of them and it could be crucial when WW3 breaks out (my prediction and most likely to originate from somewhere in the Middle East).

This land seems to be inside the original borders of the State of Israel - not in the occupied territories
So how is this different to compulsory moving people in the UK to clear slums or build a new road etc?
I'm no fan of the state of Israel but this does seem to be a bit of a beat up to me.

A spot of ethnic cleansing is ok in your book then.

Apartheid still popular with the right wing, who'd a guessed...

I agree. Plus you have to factor in Israel wanting a buffer zone from attack following the 67 and 72 wars.

I also agree that Israel is a pain in the butt and and an attention hog. But lets face it The Palestinians were thrown out of every other place.
And if palestine controlled what is now israel then israel would turn into an impoverished muslim hellhole within a few months.
Its nice to talk about palestinian rights...But they could never successfully function on their own

WTF?

You'll have to explain that one Tom.

Nearly 2000 buildings are being demolished to make way for HS2 for example

Is that apartheid?

You should think before you post.

Is it to remove one particular demographic?

Yes.
It's to move all the people living in the way of the new rail track.

So all different kinds of people then, not one particular demographic such as

What's that got to do with demographics?

You have no clue what are the ethnicities of those people involved for the HS2
They might all be gypsies
Presumably - if they were - you'd be screaming outrage.
