In response to a petition by the ultra-left outfit known as There Is a Limit, the Attorney General is investigating the Settlement Authority for selling private Palestinian land in Ofra to Jewish settlers.
Palestinians generally hold no titles, and their private ownership is a matter of testimony. Naturally, all land here was Arab-owned sixty years ago, and every parcel settled by Jews can be traced to an Arab. A similar situation did not prevent the United States from being established on the Native Indians’ land.
The police never investigate or prosecute Palestinians who squat on private Jewish land, though there are a multitude of such cases.
