This week, the seven families evacuated from Mitzpeh Avihai discovered that the rubble of their former homes, along with all of their belongings, had been taken to a garbage dump site in the South Hebron Hills area. Those who went searching for their things were met with dozens of Palestinian looters who asked if another shipment was on the way. I couldn’t believe this story, until I saw video footage. I saw toys, solar panels, an iron, a kid’s chair, a dresser, windows – all rolling out from inside the garbage truck. The driver of the truck saw a nice sink and grabbed it for himself. Let’s assume there was justification for the state to confiscate these private belongings – what about the established procedure for depositing and seizing property?
The state decided that Shlomit and Yaki’s home, and the home of Noga and Avraham, were garbage.
