I'm curious about land ownership being impacted by military take over.

When Israel took over Jerusalem did property ownership of any land change as a result?

Arafat has put a lock on all voluntary land sales to Jews.

Isn't Arafat simply making a natural reaction to Israel's long-standing policy of banning the transfer of land from Jews to non-Jews?

<<< The State of Israel has turned most of the land, whether in Israel or in the West Bank, into "state land." After these lands are defined as owned by the State of Israel they can be leased only to Jews. The right to lease such lands is denied to all non-Jews, without a single exception. This denial is enforced by placing all state lands under the administration of the Jewish National Fund, a branch of the World Zionist Organization, whose racist statutes forbid their lease or any other use to non-Jews. >>>

(with its roots in basic Jewish religious law)

<<< The rabbis of Safad, joined by the Chief Rabbi Bakshi-Doron, recently issued a judgment prohibiting Jews living in the Land of Israel to lease or sell any real estate property to non-Jews. These rabbis are on the State of Israel's payroll. >>>
