There are four categories of #Demolitions :
Punitive demolitions: Houses demolished as punishment for the actions of people associated with the houses.
Administrative demolitions: Houses demolished for lack of a building permit. This happens in Area C and in East Jerusalem, under exclusive Israeli authority, though prior to the existence of Areas A, B & C it occurred in other areas as well. It is important to point out that in almost all cases, Palestinians have no choice but to build "illegally" as permits are rarely granted
Land-clearing operations/Military demolitions: Houses demolished by the IDF in the course of military operations for the purposes of clearing off a piece of land (for whatever reason), achieve a military goal or to kill wanted persons as part of Israel’s policy of extrajudicial executions
Undefined demolitions: These include mainly demolitions resulting from land-clearing operations and removal of Palestinian populations#maps

Removing Borders, Erasing Palestinians: Israeli Population Maps after 1967
How Israeli population cartography incorporated Palestinians through the very act of erasing them.

#Demolitions
How Israeli population cartography incorporated Palestinians through the very act of erasing them.
The borders that intrude into the bedroom also split towns in half and sever them from their surrounding regions. The construction of the infamous Wall within the West Bank has created enclaves in Barta’a and western Bethlehem. Despite officially being part of the West Bank, these Palestinian towns are left on the Israeli side of the Wall, which functions as a de facto new border on the ground. The border has literally moved around them. It is as if Canada built a wall around northern Vermont and then told the residents that they were all now illegal squatters on Canadian soil.#history #cartography #maps

Maps, Technology, & Decolonial Spatial Practices in Palestine - Al-Shabaka – 2020
#maps
The practice of mapping in Palestine-Israel has long been an exercise in power, imperialism, and dispossession. Al-Shabaka Policy Analyst Zena Agha examines how Palestinians have been excluded from maps of their own land from the British Mandate to today, and explores ways that Palestinians can – and do – reclaim maps as a means of resistance. #maps
Al-Haq Releases New Report and film on Israel’s Water Apartheid – Al Haq - 2022
#Water #Palestine #Apartheid
#AreaC
By virtue of their identity, Palestinians are subject to a discriminatory apartheid system denying access to their own water. Israel’s apartheid regime is founded upon discriminatory laws, policies and practices which enable the Israeli military authorities to hold complete control over all water resources and water-related infrastructure in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). In Area C of the occupied West Bank, under full Israel military and civilian control, Israel controls and denies Palestinian access to water reservoirs and pumping sites, routinely destroys water wells, and imposes a discriminatory and arbitrary permit regime for the implementation of any water related project.#Water #Palestine #Apartheid

Israel’s 55-year occupation of Palestinian Territory is apartheid – UHCR - 25 March 2022
#Apartheid
Living in the same geographic space, but separated by walls, checkpoints, roads and an entrenched military presence, are more than three million Palestinians, who are without rights, living under an oppressive rule of institutional discrimination and without a path to a genuine Palestinian state that the world has long promised is their right.
“Another two million Palestinians live in Gaza, described regularly as an ‘open-air prison’, without adequate access to power, water or health, with a collapsing economy and with no ability to freely travel to the rest of Palestine or the outside world.”
The Special Rapporteur said that a political regime which so intentionally and clearly prioritizes fundamental political, legal and social rights to one group over another within the same geographic unit on the basis of one’s racial-national-ethnic identity satisfies the international legal definition of apartheid.#Apartheid
