OT Gus > the land is deemed "holy" -- I guess holiness calls for a premium

I suppose that's because the State of Israel gave the money to build the houses in the first place -- the settlers paid zilch, nada, nothing, SFA, and they were also given a special allowance by the State of Israel to live in the Occupied Territories -- yet they can claim "compensation" on the basis of the value of the homes and number of years they lived in them.

And this is being paid for by the US taxpayers -- lucky fellows who gave the State of Israel the money in the first place when the houses were built and now they can pay again when the houses are taken down. And, after having paid twice for someone to occupy someone else's land they still have nothing to show for their efforts. Not even a thank you.
