1. IF the buildings were built to code, even if illegally,

there should be some mechanism to allow them to stand. Retroactive building permits, a hefty fine, etc. Something could have been done.

If Arabs are forced to build this way because Israel makes it almost impossible for them to get building permits in the normal manner, then exceptions must be made.

Do Israelis have the same problems getting permits? Let's see if YNet can find some Jewish horror stories about this. If they can't, then this municipal stonewalling must come to an end.

If the Arabs legally own the land, they must be allowed to build on it. If the State takes that right away from them, they must be fairly compensated; by any name Israel choose to use, that's still a taking by eminent domain.
2. Porky Sherry: "Have not read any account
(07.22.19)
in Al-Jazeerah, Ma'an, Hurriyedet Daily News or any of the other completely reliable arab news sources that I follow, therefore Israel doesn't claim ownership, nor does it legally exist.*OINK*
3. The property is in Area A
Mikesailor ,   Miami   (07.22.19)
And therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the PA, not Israel. curious how that fact has escaped the writers of this article. I have always maintained the so-called Israeli legal system is bereft of jurors with even a modicum of legal independence and scholarship. this only proves what I have proffered.
