Palestinians say, and human rights groups agree, that the policy violates international law, amounting to collective punishment while doing nothing to to stop the uprising. If anything, they say, resentment bred by such practices produces even more rock throwers and killers. In reality, no-one who condones the bulldozing of houses in Israel really supports Constitutional rights in the U.S. or human rights anywhere. Support of rights for some humans, and not for others, is just selfishness concealed by hypocrisy.
None is free until all are free.
The test of a right or protection is not whether you are happy to see it exercised by your friends, but whether you are willing to grant it to your enemy. If you are not, you do not believe in rights at all, only privileges. There is irony and sadness in the sight of Jews bulldozing Arab houses. For a victimized people to try to claim their little corner of safety on earth at the expense of another people was wrong. The democracy of some, with the subjection of the rest, is no democracy.
