Although the Israeli government of PM Binyamin Netanyahu says the projects must be torn down because they have no permit, one shouldn’t have to have a permit to have electricity. Moreover, the government deliberately does not give Palestinians building permits, because it wants them to emigrate. The Guardian writes:
Many of the world’s poorest people, 1.6 billion, are are turning to solar to power batteries that recharge cell phones and power lights at night, [ http://www.juancole.com/2012/02/worlds-1-6-billion-poor-going-green.html ] and this path is cheaper for them than paying for kerosene/ paraffin.
Palestinians, who are kept as stateless chattel by Israelis that hope to drive them out of their homes, deserve simple amenities like electricity. As long as the Occupation continues, however, they won’t get treated like human beings. They will be treated like pests and rodents, with faceless bureaucrats exemplifying Arendt’s ‘banality of evil,’ and plotting out ways to expel them and steal their land and water.
This ongoing crime against humanity committed by Netanyahu is the real reason he wants to divert world attention from his vicious policies toward helpless Palestinians toward conflict with Iran.
