Isreali Map Shows West Bank Posts On Arab Land

A potential source of embarrassment for Isreal as they have said that they only take land there legally or for security reasons temporarily. The claims come from a 2004 database of the Civil Administration. The data was given to Peace Now by someone who obtained it from an official inside the Civil Administration. The goal was to expose perceived wide scale violations of private Palestinian property rights by the government and settlers. According to people within the Civil Administration there have been investigations in process for 3 years regarding land ownership and many Palestinians have sold land to Isrealis but would not admit the sales publicly due to fear of retribution.
