  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

  2. [Yea; this genocidal settler colonial apartheid state’s expansionism has become rather unrelenting.](https://www.eeas.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/2024/One%20Year%20Report%20on%20Demolitions%20and%20Seizures%20in%20the%20West%20Bank%20including%20East%20Jerusalem%20-%201%20January%20%2031%20December%202023.pdf?utm_source)

    > In 2023, a total of 1.177 structures were demolished
    or seized throughout the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the highest number
    recorded since 2016. 19% of demolitions took place in East Jerusalem, 23% in Areas A
    and B, and 58% in Area C. In total, 2.296 individuals have been displaced and 439.875
    affected as a result of demolitions. 76% of those structures were targeted for lacking Israeli building permits, which are nearly impossible for Palestinians to obtain in Area C
    and East Jerusalem.

    > After 7 October, the violence in the West Bank intensified sharply, resulting in a surge
    of demolitions and displacement. 19% of the demolitions were partially or entirely
    demolished as a result of Israeli military operations, especially in highly populated areas such as Jenin and Tulkarem, affecting almost 400.000 Palestinians. Additionally, settler violence surged and access restrictions were intensified, displacing 1,539
    Palestinians, including 756 children. 78% of the displacements due to settler violence in 2023 occurred after 7 October.

    > **East Jerusalem witnessed a doubling of demolitions in the first quarter of 2023
    compared to 2022, reaching the highest levels since 2019.**
