BULLDOZERS UNOPPOSED
Attention, anti-bulldozer activists! Evil ‘dozers are once again destroying Palestinian houses! Time to stand in front of them and ... um ... er ... well, let’s not be too hasty here ...
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. Palestinians, fed up with years of corruption by security officials, hailed the move as an important sign that no one is above the law.
“The Palestinian Authority policy is clear. No one is above the law, and we will work until we put an end to the lawlessness in the Palestinian areas,” said Tawfik Abu Khoussa, spokesman for Palestinian Interior Minister Nasser Yousef.
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.
After the demolition crews left, some sheep and two donkeys fed on the remains of the garden.
Hmm. This Palestinian bulldozer, pictured during a January smackdown, looks like a Caterpillar to me.

Sorry, Tim, the photo on the link is a bucket loader, not a bulldozer. It looks like a Caterpillar model, although it’s hard to tell in this photo.
But the end result is the same—the PA learned a few tricks from the IDF, and they buy the good stuff . No doubt Corrie Rachel is spinning in her grave.
