25% of illegal building in W. Bank on Arab land

[bemildred]

At least 25 percent of the structures built by Israelis in the West Bank's Area C (full Israeli control) were constructed on private Arab-owned land, an internal report by the Civil Administration found.

According to the report, only 0.5 percent of the illegal structures were constructed on land registered to Jewish owners.

The data also indicate that Israel is practicing a discriminatory policy: It is more lenient on illegal construction by Jews than by Palestinians.

Although the Jewish population in the area is four times bigger than the Arab population, the authorities have demolished triple the number of Palestinian structures compared to Jewish structures.

2. What would you expect from an occupation/settlement movement

Of course the right of the natives will be trampled upon.

Exactly like what the good old pioneers did to native Americans... continuously taking away their freedom and turning the military apparatus against them while making a huge fuss about the occasional scalped white man or the chiefs that embark on armed struggle.

History continuously repeats itself , and in most cases the oppressor wins, for he has the bigger gun.
