From the news out there:
Settlements 'violate Israeli law'
More than a third of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank are built on privately owned Palestinian land, an Israeli campaign group has reported.
Peace Now says nearly 40% of the land the settlements sit on is, according to official data, "effectively stolen" from Palestinian landowners.
This, the group says, is a violation of Israel's own laws
Settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law, although Israel rejects this.
About 430,000 Jews live in these residential areas in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Peace Now called on the Israeli government to return the private land to its Palestinian owners.
In recent years the Israeli government has said repeatedly that it respects Palestinian property rights in the West Bank.
An Israeli official has said the government is reviewing the report.
Pretty much sums up what a 4uked up gov they have, eh????

My my my , how the truth hurts. I take your home away that you have buillt on your own land, but then to make you feel better and live in peace with you, i'll let you live in the barn, or the garage, and you call that giving peace a chance? LOL
And when someone mentions the truth, they label him anti semitic, that too is very funny. LOL
