<<In fact, Israel DOES have such a law. Roughly 93% of the land in Israel is owned by the Jewish National Fund, which then leases the land exclusively to Jews. Once this land is in the hand of Jews, it is illegal to sell it back to non-Jews.>>

And that is very wrong. Yet another reason why I can't fully support Israel or the relationship we have with them. I fear our relationship with Israel could become our undoing

"And this policy gets essentially ZERO coverage in the U.S."

Not true at all, that Israeli policy of which you speak has been in plain sight forever practically. I've complained about it myself here at SI and so have many others and many jewish Israelis complain of it publicly as well. Clearly, the Jordan Times' report on the screwing of Palestinian civil rights is a matter that is less well known in the U.S.
