JERUSALEM, Nov. 21-- An Israeli advocacy group has found that 39 percent of the land used by Jewish settlements in the West Bank is private Palestinian property, and contends that construction there violates international and Israeli law guaranteeing the protection of property rights in the occupied territories.

In a critical report released here Tuesday, the Settlement Watch project of Peace Now also disclosed that much of the land that Israeli officials have said would remain part of the Jewish state under any final peace agreement is private Palestinian property.

The only problem here is they are talking about part of the land of Palestine, when they should be talking about ALL the land of Palestine. Israel is the name given to Palestine by the people who occupy it. If things are made right, then this will only be a temporary name. When they are gone then there will be peace. Plenty of uninhabited places for you people to go.
