    Get out of your house or apartment, go next door, knock on it and say to your neighbor: I own your place and I have 5 witnesses to prove it. See, how far it gets you.

    see what I did there?

    "The contrast between the lives of the 180 inhabitants of Ramya and their neighbours in Karmiel is stark indeed. Although the modern apartment buildings are now only metres away, the people of Ramya are living in a different era. They are denied connection to the electricity and water grids and other public services. Generators provide power for a few hours a day, and makeshift, above-ground pipes channel in a trickle of water. Their 45 homes, classified as illegal by the Israeli authorities, are tin shacks or modest breeze-block huts. Anything else would be certain to be demolished, said Sawaid.And yet the village's purchase of the land was registered in the 1930s - before either Israel's founding in 1948 or Karmiel's creation 16 years later."We have the tabu [title deeds] for this land," said Sawaid. "And yet Israel refuses to recognise our right to live here. They have made us criminals. They say we are squatters. It is nonsense." from Al Jazeera 31 Jan 2014. It doesn't matter if an Arab has title deeds to his land in Israel or Palestine. It gets taken nonetheless.

    The Israelis destroyed many of the title deeds during the various invasions

    The British and the UN all agree that a great deal of land in the West Bank was owned by Palestinians.

    you deny this, and demand to see land deeds for more than 2,000 sq. miles.

    your demands, are ridiculous. they are like Neo-Nazis demanding to see death certificates for the 6 million Jews, or photos of their bodies.

    Don't be absurd. Show me the deeds of the squatters in the Occupied Territories. Or does God have them in his strongbox?

    haven't you heard? God's Covenant with Abraham, to give him and his children the land of Canaan for all times, is a legal land ownership document.

    Be it as it may, how the (*)(*)(*)(*) can anyone know without dees who owned what? Furthermore, many, many Arabs abandoned they're property and run away in front of the advanced Arab armies,only to return victorious... NOT. Since when should the Victor pay reparations to the Losers? Since UN said they can return? Uhm... Yea,UN did say something like that... And they let Israel decide, when they're ready and willing to accept the returnees :)

    That is exactly what I'm asking - show may the deeds of all these Palestinian squatters! No deed, no return.

    By the way, these Arabs who had some sense in them had their properties sold to Israelis... Just in case the advanced Arab armies will not be so victorious. And these even smarter, stayed in Israel. Ask them if today they want anything to do with their Palestinian brethren :)

    Palestinian property owners of course provide proof of their ownership, when they sue in Israeli courts.

    meanwhile, the British did studies over their decades of control of Palestine, and found much of the land was owned by Palestinians...and they formalized ownership for many of them.

    what's your point?

    we're talking about Palestinians in the West Bank, not Israelis.

    when Palestinians sue to get back stolen land, they sue in Israeli courts.

    And we have just made a circle back to "where's the deed"?

    are you aware that the 4th Geneva Conventions, which Israeli signed, forbids Occupying Powers from confiscating any land in Occupied Territory for anything but purely temporary military and security purposes?

    Arabs don't need jobs to feed their families too?

    Of course he's aware; hence the insubstantial, snarky come-backs in the absence of any rebuttal to my comment on the lack of proof of land ownership by the Zionist squatters.

    This is sig-worthy.

    I'm assuming that the next thing to happen in this case is that IRS will audit Scarlet, whose last name may as well be "Letter" regarding how liberal the left is towards her mainstream opinion.

    These Hollywood people really need to stay out of politics - whether you love them on the big screen or not, they're all complete idiots who should just not open their mouths.

    Reminds me of when Pamela Anderson started posing nude in those PETA ads (despite eating meat herself), and auctioned off a Dodge Viper to raise money for PETA (a Dodge Viper with seats made of... you guess it - real leather :roflol: :roflol: )
