And The Root Of The World's Evil Lies At The Feet Of Israel

Israeli bulldozers have demolished part a hotel in East Jerusalem to make way for 20 new homes for Jewish settlers.

The destruction of the Shepherd Hotel has angered Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas said Israel was destroying any chance of returning to peace talks by carrying out the demolition.

Israel says it has a right to build homes in any part of the city.

The Shepherd Hotel was built in the 1930s and was once home to Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who became an ally of Adolf Hitler in WWII.

Its current ownership is disputed - Israel says it belongs to a Jewish-American property developer but Palestinians say it was seized illegally after Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967.

There will be no peace in this world until Israel gives back the land it took in 1967, and accepts the fact that it cannot just "erase" the identity of Israel's predecessors by simply plowing them under the earth.
