Related: About this forumIsrael seeks to demolish Palestinian village on ‘archaeological’ grounds
http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.649340The state has asked the High Court of Justice for permission to demolish the ancient Palestinian village of Sussia and relocate its residents to Yatta, near Hebron, allowing for more archaeological work at the site.
...
The state opposed the courts temporary injunction against demolition, despite the fact it often supports such temporary injunctions when they are made against illegal Jewish outposts.
Just last month, the government approved such a temporary injunction against the demolition of two structures in the Beit El settlement, after the High Court had already made a ruling.
....
It should be noted that the archaeological site at Sussia is run by the nearby Jewish settlement of the same name, and there are Jews living there in illegal structures.
Regarding its decision not to approve further construction in the area in contrast with the policy allowing for nearby Jewish construction the state claimed that such construction would only serve a small number of residents who are actually more connected to Yatta. It claimed that their construction plans were unreasonable, due to the need for electrical infrastructure and the local infrastructure was insufficient to provide for appropriate incorporation of residents into the job market.
Nope, no apartheid here. Nope. Democracy at its finest.

There are far more important archaeological sites to check out in that part of the world.

If they really want to hit archaeological gold, they should 'demolish' Jerusalem, and relocate its residents.
