In diluting Israeli sovereignty, argued Carver, the EU is only creating further conflict, because those who genuinely support a two-state solution would \u2064never actively work to undermine\u2064 either of those states.<\/p>\n<p>Especially troubled by the fact that Europeans are building in nature reserves, he asserts, \u201cIt\u2019s very hypocritical that the European Union claimed to be environmental champions but \u2062seemed to \u2063be quite happy to illegally put up buildings with their logo and develop settlements in nature reserves. Can you imagine the audacity\u2064 of the European Union to believe\u200d they can \u2062violate legal facts? They\u2019ve got skin as thick as\u200b a rhinoceros. They genuinely believe they can carry on with\u2064 this, carte blanche.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there is massive, ongoing European-supported construction in nature reserves that were internationally mandated as no-construction zones in the Wye Plantation\u2064 Accords, \u2062an agreement that concluded the Oslo division of territory.<\/p>\n<p>Regavim, an Israeli NGO and public movement \u2063dedicated to the protection of\u2063 Israel\u2019s\u2064 national lands and resources, has been mapping illegal Palestinian construction \u2062and land seizures for over a decade using archival material, land deeds and official documents, historic photographs, up-to-date aerial and drone photography, and GIS maps.<\/p>\n<p>Its legal department often petitions the courts to compel the\u2063 Israeli authorities to act against instances of environmental abuse by Palestinians. \u200dFor example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leo-dicaprio-mark-ruffalo-cher-call-on-joe-biden-to-kill-dakota-access-pipeline\/\" title=\"Leo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Cher Call On Joe Biden To Kill Dakota Access Pipeline\">illegal construction<\/a>\u200b often produces illegal junkyards, which ignore regulations and \u2064requirements.<\/p>\n<p>In many instances, Regavim \u2063has also petitioned against illegal construction \u200bon archaeological sites, a method by which \u200dthe PA achieves two goals simultaneously: taking over territory and \u200derasing the physical remains that \u2063attest\u200c to the Jewish historical connection to the land.<\/p>\n<p>Israel previously carved out nature reserves around\u200c some archaeological sites in order\u200b to protect them. These are\u200c the\u200d most sought-after work sites as far as the PA\u200c is concerned, and\u200c the\u2063 Europeans are full-fledged partners in this crime against history, \u2064the environment and international law.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the UN Educational, Scientific and \u200bCultural Organization (UNESCO) has been known to partner with the PA,\u200d and it actually plowed over the royal city of Shomron (Sebastia), which was the seat of the Israelite kingdom and one \u200dof the largest, most important archaeological sites in the area.<\/p>\n<h3>Part 4 will be published next week.<\/h3>\n<p><em>Part\u2063 1 can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-illegal-palestinian-settlements-never-heard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Part 2 can \u200bbe read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-not-secret-conspiracy-eu-encourages-palestinians-violate-international-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Part 3 \u200ccan \u200dbe read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-wresting-land-rights-israel-using-historic-arab-village-never-existed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-funded-eu-palestinians-abuse-environment-erase-jewish-history\/\">Op-Ed: Funded by the EU, Palestinians Abuse the Environment and\u2062 Erase Jewish History<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>call this program a form of &#8220;lawfare&#8221; as it manipulates legal frameworks to undermine Israel&#8217;s sovereignty.
