Title: Breaking the Law in the West Bank - One Violation Leads to Another
Description: Peace Now. 2006. Paperback. Paperback in good condition. Breaking the Law in the West Bank - The Private Land Report - Nov. 2006. Dror Etkes and Hagit Ofran. This report by the Peace Now Settlement Watch Team is a harsh indictment against the whole settlements enterprise and the role all Israeli governments played in it. The report shows that Israel has effectively stolen privately owned Palestinian lands for the purpose of constructing settlements and in violation Israel's own laws regarding activities in the West Bank. Nearly 40 percent of the total land area on which the settlements sit is, according to official data of the Israeli Civil Administration (the government agency in charge of the settlements), privately owned by Palestinians. The settlement enterprise has undermined not only the collective property rights of the Palestinians as a people, but also the private property rights of individual Palestinian landowners. Used: Acceptable.
