"Punitive house demolitions has been criticized by HUMAN RIGHTS organization as a form of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT and thus a WAR CRIME under international law."
Israel has RAZED 49,532 Palestinian structures as of 2019.
Yet Israel is considered to be always and forever the good guy and the Palestinians are the bad guys by the ilk that insists whatever Israel does is justified.
I don't see that. I see a country so inflamed and enraged with HATE that it cannot abide the existence of a people.
Which is ironic. Hitler could not abide the existence of Jews and so he got rid of 6 million of them.
As far as I know Israel doesn't GAS Palentinians to death. It just blows them up..
Why are home demolitions or sealings-up carried out in response to Palestinian Arab terrorist murder of Israeli Jewish civilians including children? In short it may be because the “Palestinian” Arabs pay a reward pension to the family of a terrorist imprisoned by Israel.
If a “Palestinian” Arab terrorist murders an Israeli Jew and the terrorist is imprisoned by Israel, the “Palestinian Authority” aka “Fatah” and the “Palestinian Liberation Organisation” (the P.A. funded by the “European Union” and the U.S.A.), pay a reward-“pension” to the family of the attacker:

“The Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund is a fund operated by the Palestinian Authority (PA) which pays monthly cash stipends to the families of Palestinians killed, injured, or imprisoned while carrying out politically motivated violence against Israel. [...]”

While there is no evidence that Israel targets civilians, the “Palestinian” Arabs are addicted to ethnic-hatred of Jews and target Israeli Jewish civilians as policy.
Due to anti-Semitism many people do not require any proper moral standard from the “Palestinian” Arabs.
The Palestinians cynically whitewash their anti-Jewish hate-war as:
“uprising”, “defence”, “desperation”, “struggle”, “resistance”.
Perhaps it would be helpful to consider an example incident:
The following four sources relate to the murder of 13 year old Israeli girl Hallel Yaffa Ariel on June 30, 2016, and the consequential order by the Israeli Supreme Court to partially-demolish the home of her suspected Palestinian murderer Muhammad Nasser-Tarayrah:

As the reader will have observed from that example (fairly typical for “Palestinian” Arab terrorism) the Palestinians target Jewish children for their ethnicity, just like the Nazis used to do.

No wonder anti-Semites display such emotional-support for the “Palestinian” Arabs !
The “Palestinian Authority” aka Fatah (which together with the P.L.O. pays the terrorism reward-“pension” of their “Martyrs Fund”, and also funds Hamas) is itself funded by the “European Union”. Many who demonstrate in European countries against anti-Semitic damage to Jewish tomb stones, have no problem with their governments continuing to fund the “Palestinian” Arabs, thereby also funding the Palestinian ongoing war of ethnic-murder against Israeli Jewish civilians including children.
Supporting anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism: The Palestinian Education Authority in the Palestinian Territories teaches Holocaust-Denial and admiration of the Nazis:

While such “Palestinian” Arab families may get the reward-loot from the “Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund” (see above) when their family-member is imprisoned by Israel for murdering an Israeli Jew, they may also lose their home; any objections?
Now try answering again assuming it were your sister or your child murdered ...
One further reason for demolitions occurring is the failure to first obtain a building permit (planning permission).
I invite the reader to try this experiment:
In your own country, build a village / town or just a home, without any permission; and then post back here to let us know the action that was taken by your country.
The Palestinian education system practices mind-abuse, teaching:
False victim-mentality, hatred of Jews, that Israel does not exist (aka Palestinian false-claim to ALL the land):
