Despite Poverty, Many Palestinians Want Israeli Buildings Demolished
(Knight Ridder) Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson - With months to go before the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza begins, what to do with the buildings that might be left behind is a hot topic among Palestinians and Israelis alike. Many Palestinians say Israel should destroy them on the way out. "What's best for us is that they (Israel) destroy the settlements and take the rubble with them," said Tawfiq Abu Khosa, the Palestinian Interior Ministry's Gaza spokesman. Destroying the homes also will ensure that senior PA officials don't confiscate the property for themselves, said local resident Fouad Mahmoud Nonaideq.
