Mottle Wolfe is joined by human rights activist Shaiya Rothberg to discuss the government's decision to demolish illegally built Palestinian homes.
Left-wing activists and the US State Department are up in arms about the Israeli Supreme Court decision to tear down 40 houses built illegally by Palestinians in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). Opponents — among them Rothberg, whose Times of Israel article claims that Israel is committing a moral crime — say the Arab village of Susiya has stood since 1830. Mottle presents evidence that there was never an Arab village there.
