via Israel News:

Human rights group claims Jewish state ’created conditions that made Palestinians move’ from central Hebron by discriminating residents based on their ethnicity. Settlers call report an ’unbroken string of lies and distortions’

The report says :

"The survey showed that at least 1,014 Palestinian housing units, which account for 41.9 percent of those in the area, are empty. Of these, 65 percent were vacated during the course of the second Palestinian intifada, which began in 2000.

B’Tselem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli said :

’’They created conditions that made the Palestinians move. The army can’t now say that they didn’t know this was going to happen."

The Israeli military declined comment.

They say Israel is democratic country. It wants peace with Palestinians. But their actions belie their claims.
