Campaign to save a West Bank school from demolition<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

UPDATE: Alarming developments in the West Bank community of Khan al Ahmar. Settlers from Kfar Adumim have filed a petition against the school, asking for an injunction not to re-open the school this September and pushing for the school to be swiftly demolished. <\/p>\n

Though the Israeli Supreme Court rejected the request to close the school, the petition has set the clock ticking for the demolition of the school. Such a demolition would effectively deny the children of the community their education and jeopardise their future.<\/p>\n

\n3) Stay informed about the bigger picture<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

This campaign is about more than just one school. We want Israel to stop the demolitions of schools, homes and infrastructure in the West Bank including East Jerusalem.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Israeli practice of demolition, which has increased sharply in the first half of 2011, continues to devastate Palestinian families and communities in Area C – the 60 per cent of the West Bank controlled by Israel. Many of the people affected already live in poverty. Children are often hit hardest.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The vast majority of demolition orders are issued because a home or structure has been built without an Israeli permit. However, the Israeli planning system, condemned as discriminatory by the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, makes it almost impossible for Palestinians to get a permit.<\/p>\n

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ estimates that there are more than 3,000 demolition orders outstanding in Area C alone, including 18 issued to schools.<\/p><\/div>\n

The OCHA report <\/span>“Displacement and insecurity in Area C of the West Bank”<\/u><\/a> has detailed analysis of the current situation.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n


\n4) Support our demand that Israel meet its obligations under international law<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• Immediately cease demolitions of Palestinian-owned homes, schools and infrastructure,<\/strong> which cause displacement and dispossession, until Palestinians have access to a fair and nondiscriminatory planning system. This should include community participation in all levels of the planning process;<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• <\/strong>Families that have been forcibly displaced must be allowed to return to their homes in safety and dignity<\/strong>, and be given compensation for any harm they have suffered, including the destruction of land, homes and property.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
