Where is Rachel Corrie When You Really Need Her? PA Bulldozing Houses

Where is Ms. Pancake and the ISM when you really need them, eh? You know, when the Palestinian Authority starts acting like the 'Zionazis' and begins to bulldoze houses?

CBC News:

A Palestinian bulldozer on Monday demolished the seaside homes of three senior officers who built illegally on public land in Gaza, the start of what the Palestinian government promises will be a relentless campaign against corruption....

To carry out Abbas's mission, one bulldozer guarded by seven jeeps and 30 Palestinian officers entered the Sudania area on the coast of northern Gaza on Monday morning to crush the three homes, which were being built by a major, a lieutenant-colonel and a colonel on public land they illegally seized. The operation encountered no resistance.

Construction on the two-storey concrete houses, which had a clear view of the Mediterranean 90 metres away, was almost finished. One house was surrounded by a small flower garden. After the demolition crews left, some sheep and two donkeys fed on the remains of the garden.

Hat tip: The Flying Circus ;-)

In related news, no protest from Rachel Corrie's corpse or the ISM on news that an 18 year old Palestinian girl was murdered by Islamic Jihad.
