Land Grabs by Arab/Palestinians
We read in the international press the complaints against Israel for demolishing Arab homes, but little background or context is ever given.
First, according to post WWI international law and treaties all the land west of the Jordan River is Jewish. After the 1993-95 Oslo Accord, in Judea and Samaria, the land is divided in areas "A", "B" and C". Let's just read for a moment what these area actually are.
Definition of Land Areas
Area 'A': Full Palestinian control; mainly urban areas (cities and towns)
17.2% of total area, 55% of Palestinian population
Area 'B': Palestinian civil and Israeli security control; mainly populated rural areas
23.8% of area, 41% of the population
Area 'C': Full Israeli control; communities, community access roads, buffer zones (near communities, roads, strategic areas and Israel) and almost all of the Jordan Valley
59% of area, 4% of population
Ownership of the Land in Judea and Samaria
There are 4 types of ownership:
Basically, the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria have been established ONLY on State lands or privately owned Jewish land. And rebuilt Jewish communities destroyed by the Arabs after the 1948 war.
However, the Arab/Palestinians are being encouraged by their leaders to move into area "C", albeit illegally. and then claim ownership.
This is a land grab, pure and simple.
The international media has fraudulently accepted the Arab/Palestinian narrative about their false land ownership, but ignored the fact that in many cases this "ownership" is actually the illegal occupation of land that does not belong to them and into which, even according to international law, they have come to be in illegally.
A classic case is this video provided by Regavim.
