The Jewish people, perhaps more than any other people by virtue of their history, have been preoccupied by the issue of Justice. In that light, the story of the East Jerusalem Palestinian Hossam Dwayyat, and the fate of his family seemed interesting enough to post about. From Kenneth Cole's AWEARNESS Blog:

"Does bulldozing the homes of Palestinian terrorists deter further attacks against the state of Israel? Is the act of razing their houses a just punishment for militants who endanger thousands? The practice of demolishing the homes of terrorists' families, which has been condemned internationally as a violation of human rights -- and, quite possibly, also a violation against international law -- was discontinued in 2005.

"So why then is the question of home demolition back on the radar screen of Israeli politics?"
