139 East Jerusalem Residents Discover Land They Live on Is Registered to the Jewish National Fund Residents of the Umm Tuba neighborhood discovered this when one applied to the Jerusalem municipality for a building permit on land he has lived on for decades. Despite the residents holding documents proving land ownership, the JNF could potentially seek their eviction Nir Hassan, Haaretx October 31, 2024 139 East Jerusalem residents recently disocvered that the lands on which they have been living for decades are registered in the Land Registration and Settlement Authority (known in Israel as "Tabu") in the name of the Jewish National Fund. These residents, who live in a 20-dunam (about 5 acres) area in the Umm Tuba neighborhood, discovered this after one of them applied to the Jerusalem municipality in June to obtain a building permit on land he owns. The Jewish National Fund could now potentially seek the residents' eviction. According to the residents, they had no idea that any process for registering the land was underway. They say no one contacted them about it or asked them to present documentation proving their ownership of the land. Since 1967, the Israeli government stopped registering land in East Jerusalem. Unlike everywhere else in the country, real estate sales in this area were not registered in the Tabu, and the state has no registry of land ownership there. As a result, many residents built homes on their land without permits and without formal registration with the Land Authority. However, unlike in many other parts of East Jerusalem, most of the buildings in Umm Tuba did receive building permits after the municipality checked the status of the land and confirmed that the residents are the legal owners. The residents also say that they have British and Jordanian documents that attest to their ownership of the land, and copies of Arnona (municipal tax) bills paid for decades to the Jerusalem municipality. After learning that the land they are living on is registered to the JNF, the residents found out that JNF representatives had claimed to David Rotenberg, the Land Registry Officer and Inspector of Lands at the Israeli Justice Ministry, that it purchased the land nearly one hundred years ago from five local residents. However, a resident of the neighborhood explains that the area in question "was not owned by five people and the family that supposedly sold this land did not own any land in this area." When residents contacted Rotenberg about the situation, he responded that they should have checked the government website where announcements are posted to see if the regularization process for their area had begun. The residents pointed out that these announcements are only published in Hebrew, and that many of them don't speak the language well enough. Attorney Yazeed Kawar, who represents the residents, explained that in Umm Tuba, as in many parts of East Jerusalem, there is no notation of blocs and plots. Therefore, he says, even if the residents could find the government announcements, they wouldn't be able to tell if they related to the lands where their homes are located. archive.ph

I'm not so sure Stretch Zone strapping you down on the table to prevent you shifting your hips, shoulders, legs, etc is all that safe. Stretching straps can be purchased at many stores to help with stretching your legs. Assisted stretching or physical therapy is good to force the joint past its current limits on range of motion. Stretching on your own has its limitations. Looks like Stretch Labs has you doing some stretches on your own part of the time like they do in physical therapy.
