Israel's Ongoing Disregard for Palestinian Lives: Shop Demolitions for Settlement Road The latest round of demolitions in the West Bank has brought to light another egregious example of Israel's disregard for Palestinian lives and livelihoods.

The demolition of these shops is part of a long standing dispute between Israelis and Palestinians.
