[Salon] The Israeli army demolished a school in Masafer Yatta. Residents say it won't be the last

Israel's demolitions of Palestinian schools are sufficiently routine as normally to be barely newsworthy.

What may make newsworthy the demolition reported in the article at the link transmitted below is that this school's construction had been funded by the European Union and its demolition occurred one day after a diplomatic visit to show support for the school and the local community by the representatives of several European Union states.

One may be tempted to conclude that the relevant Israeli decision-makers took an active delight in so vividly demonstrating their contempt for the European Union states, fully confident that, as in all prior instances, doing so would have no adverse consequences for Israel.
