Land theft
November 21st, 2006 by ktula
Israel’s Peace Now movement released a report showing extensive portion of Israeli settlement colonies in the occupied West Bank are “built on land which the Israeli government recognizes as privately-owned by Palestinians.”
This is front page news on the New York Times, but the title of the article - Israeli Map Says West Bank Posts Sit on Arab Land - is extremely misleading. The use of the term “posts” to describe the Israeli settlements makes the illegal colonies look like some temporary camps in the middle of nowhere. The so-called “posts” are large settlement colonies like Ma’ale Adumim and Ariel, with each having population of 32,000 and 20,000 respectively.
Reuters has a more appropriate title for its article: Israel stole private land for settlements: report.
