Israeli army kills man in Nablus

There is little information to judge the circumstances of this, however what caught my eye was the reference to yet another “refugee camp” and decided to have a look with Google Earth for a place called El-Fara to see what a “camp” looks like in 2011.

Given that such spellings vary when translated to English it took a few tries to get this place: ein al-fara, west bank

I don’t know how to post the Google Earth coordinate link here, but a fly to this location will find it.

I can’t see anything that looks like a tent camp (that is my understanding of the word). What I see is a substantial village with houses, roads, farm fields and tree groves of some sort. Obviously a permanent human settlement.

This constant reference to all Palestinians living in refugee camps, for 60 years, is tiresome, and reminds me of birtherism.
