You people are really sweet. Just to refresh your mind: The Arabs actually live in the West-Bank, for crying out loud!!! They are the occupied party here. If they construct "illegally", then only because of military orders that are illegal and illegitimate in the first place. YOU are the illegal ones. You are occuping this country illegally. This is the whole problem to begin with. But never mind. Reality and logic are not really your thing. I know.

Beit Safafa, Beit Jala, Silwan.... Then what will the Piece Now people say?

While permits are issued by the thousands to build illegal new homes for settlers in the WB and on private Palestinian lands, Permits for Pals are virtually impossible to obtain...

Its members are sad, lonely and untalented people that thrive on publicity! It's the air they need to survive. What did any of its members do that is noteworthy apart from attacking their own country? Please make this clear to all newspapers that continually thrust them down our throats! Mike

They just choose not to so as to not have to pay taxes. It's nothing new: "Ottoman Land and Tax Reforms, 1858 and 1867" In 1867, the second Ottoman land and tax reform measure was passed (the first came in 1858). These reforms changed the pattern of land ownership in Palestine (that is to say well in advance of Zionism: extensive Jewish investment and colonization in Palestine did not begin until after 1882). Many Palestinian farmers who had the opportunity and the means to buy land under the reforms chose not to out of fear of landing on the tax rolls and of becoming subject to military conscription. So, many Christians moved in to buy up the land instead. Peasants continued to farm the land but were willing to let ownership pass into the hands of big landowners. Thus occurred a gap or break between peasants and the lands they farmed. Most of the landowners were Palestinian notables or Christians from coastal regions. Titles and deeds, then, ended up in the hands of a relatively small number of owners while the peasants continued to assume they had rights to live on the lands and cultivate them. Since many of the landowners lived in Beirut, subsequent sales of lands to Jewish immigrants were less visible to those who were actually living on them. - Charles D. Smith, Palestine and the Arab Israeli Conflict, Third Edition (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1996), 21-22, 32-35

"Peace Now" is just the opposite of what they stand for. These radical extremists should call themselves: FBA which stands for "Fighting the Battle for Arabs".

3% of settler orders were carried out versus 24% against Palestinians (who also demolished 10% voluntarily) and there is no discrimination? A mere matter of 8 to 1(or 10 to 1 if the voluntary demolitions are counted). The settlers are getting away with breaking the law - again. Where are the courts?

if thats no good they should try ignorance now appeasement now or even better thrown into the sea now
