The Israeli government’s home demolition policy as a punitive measure has proved ineffective in preventing Palestinian attacks against Israelis according to a recent report televised by the second TV Hebrew channel.
The channel said that remarks made by many Palestinian families whose homes were demolished as punishment for attacks carried out by relatives reflected that this policy failed to affect them and make them show regret for what happened.
It expressed its belief that the facts on the ground confirmed that the demolition policy fueled the Palestinians’ hatred and resistance of the occupation.
The demolition of homes belonging to relatives of attackers has been a policy since the 1967 war the channel noted.
