Demolition by Design: The Unyielding Grip of Occupation The latest demolition in Masafer Yatta is a stark reminder that even when Palestinians appear to have the protection of law on their side, they are not immune from the whims of Israeli occupation.

The irony is palpable: the permit system designed to safeguard Palestinian rights has become a tool for their erasure.
