What we have we work for and it is a cherished right to own what our families have shared for generations. Jewish author Alfred Lilienthal tells of yet another law that the Israeli government passed in order to "legally" expropriate Arab land (The Zionist Connection II, pages 116-118). "Under the Cultivation of Wastelands ordinance, the government was authorized to take over land not cultivated. Since the declaration of a security zone results in the area not being cultivated, it could then be taken over by the government and given to Jewish settlers, who were permitted to enter and cultivate it. By these and similar means, as early as 1965 some 3,125,000 acres... more than 60 percent of the land of Arab Israelis who had never left Israel, had been confiscated. "Not only did the Palestinians lose their land, they also lost their right to work on the land... The minister of Agriculture under Regulation 125 has been permitted to expropriate 'fallow' lands. First, the owner is told he cannot work the land, after a certain period of time the area becomes fallow and the Agricultural Minister can then expropriate it. A former Minister of Defense said regarding this regulation: 'The 125th Paragraph on which the military government bases itself in great measure is a direct continuation of the struggle for Jewish settlement and immigration'." Folks, Netanyahu can scream about being fair all day long but it wasn't the Palestinians who took the land from the Jewish people. It was the other way around. Stop being played by Israel America. We wouldn't put up with this if it was happening to us.
