Israel doing its best to force Palestinians out: Activist

The Israeli regime demolishes Palestinians' homes as a "colonial tool" to remove them from the occupied Palestinian territories, says a commentator.

“Collective punishment [of Palestinians] has a very special goal here. It's to not just terrorize but to inflict as much punishment on the collective in order to force them to leave,” Mick Napier told Press TV on Wednesday.

The demolition of homes is particularly cruel, which is “part of the overall project to remove as many Palestinians as possible” to construct more Israeli settlement units, the activist with the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign noted.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military blew up the family home of a Palestinian man killed earlier by its forces over an alleged stabbing attack.
