Destruction in Jerusalem

When you think of Jerusalem you think of spirituality, religious values and maybe even peace right? If you've heard about Jerusalem recently, it's be anything but that. It's the center of a war that's been going on for quite some time now between Palestinians and Israelis. Palestinians are mostly Muslim and Israelis are mostly Jewish. Jerusalem is sacred to both religions and therefore both religions claim it to be their "homeland". The constant fighting between the extremists on both sides has caused devistation throughout the lands of Israel/Palestine.

"Israeli authorities have demolished two Palestinian-owned structures in East Jerusalem, in defiance of international calls to stop such actions.

Palestinian reports say a family of five was forcibly evicted from their home in the Beit Hanina district before the building was demolished.
Israeli bulldozers then destroyed the foundations of another building nearby.
UN officials say such demolitions violate international law and raise serious humanitarian concerns.
Israel says buildings subject to demolition orders have been built without permits.
Palestinians say it is virtually impossible to obtain the necessary approval from Israel's municipal authorities in Jerusalem.
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem , says the authorities have demolished about 420 Palestinian-owned houses in East Jerusalem since 2004 saying they were built without permits.
Israel occupied the territory in the 1967 war and annexed it soon afterwards in a move that has not been recognised internationally." this article was taken from the BBC News website http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8303355.stm

I understand Israel saying they have legitimate reason to destroy the houses that were built without permits, but I think that they're using an excuse just to hit the hearts of the Palestinians. In my personal opinion, Israeli's are just looking for ways to be jerks. Now, don't get me wrong. I believe that Palestinians aren't innocent by any means but I also must say that I take a firm standing in believing that Palestine has the right to its own home land. I guess you could consider me "Pro-Palestine." I have done a lot of research in the topic and am currently taking a history class concerning all the details that go back thousands of years. What do you think?
