5. Cool, but then don't whine when it seems that Israelis have more land

if the Arabs have actually sold it to them.


Can't have it both ways here, trekkie or not.

Could be another case of Arabs sticking it to their Palestinian brothers, which they have been doing for 60 years.

11. Veggie really thinks that if an Israeli buys a bit of land it becomes part of Israel?

Oh-kay...

7. I think it means the bastards who are selling that land are collaborators.

Perhaps it's time to establish the Palestinian National Fund.

4. Police suspect bills of land sale at West Bank outpost were forged

The Israel Police's National Fraud Investigation Unit is investigating the authenticity of some of the documents involving the sale of lands in Migron, an outpost outside Ramallah inhabited by Jewish settlers, Haaretz has learned.

The investigation, according to police sources, focuses on an Israeli-owned firm that belongs to the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. The firm, called "Al Watan," was responsible for purchasing the land from Palestinians.

Between 2004 and 2005, two Migron families contacted the Civil Administration - the government body that tends to the civilian needs of Palestinian residents of the territories - to apply for permits to build permanent houses on plots bought by Al Watan and then leased to the settlers.

The settlers provided Civil Administration officials with documents allegedly proving their ownership of the land. The bill of sale, which was stamped in Orange County, California in 2004, bears the name of an Arab seller by the name of Abed Al-Latif Hassan Somarein. Police believe the bill is a forgery.

The suspicion is based on Palestinian documents that list a person of that name as having been dead since 1961. The Civil Administration, according to police, has contacted Al Watan numerous times for additional documentation, but has so far received none.
