Jews—have experienced such deprivation in the past

Considered a highly unusual move, the court refused to grant an interim order freezing the implementation of the demolition until the court hears the discussion on the appeal to authorise the village representatives of the Israeli Military's "Civil Administration" informed residents of Susiya of their intent to demolish at least part of the village before an appeal of Susiya's case in the High Court, to be heard on August 3rd.

Critic of Israeli policy, especially a pending measure to forcibly relocate some 40,000 Bedouin Arabs from their ancestral lands. "One thing that is absolutely clear in my mind is that human beings cannot be treated like cattle," Theodore Bikel, says in a 2014 extended interview. "Human beings must be given the dignity and the respect that all human beings deserve, especially by a people who themselves—Jews—have experienced such deprivation in the past."

So when I say that the very people who were told to get out of Anatevka in the fictional village of Fiddler on the Roof, the descendants of those very people are now telling others, strangers in their midst, that they must get out of their homes, seems fundamentally wrong. And a wrong cannot be allowed to stand. So God doesn't own the Jew Eretz Israel at all! He doesn't even owe them one square inch of it!
