Israel on Sunday confiscated nearly 1,000 acres of privately owned Palestinian land near an Israeli

This has got to stop!!! Its making the U.S. look like Israel's puppet.
 
Coyote, et al,

It is a form of political leverage.

Or is this just another form of collective punishment where the innocent get punished?
(COMMENT)

Just as sanctions and embargoes, which ultimately adversely impact all citizens, is political leverage (not collective punishment), so it is with Area "C" expansion.

Economic sanctions (as a tool of foreign policy) can be used for achieving political gains; or to apply political pressure to effect change. The two key supranational bodies to adopt sanctions measures are the United Nations (“UN”) and the European Union (“EU”). But in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the objectives are localized and impact observable. The State of Israel appears to be expanding settlements (in Area "C") in the absence of good faith negotiations and progress relative to the "permanent status of negotiations" issues found in Article V of the Oslo Accords:
  • Jerusalem,
  • Refugees,
  • Settlements,
  • Security arrangements,
  • Borders,
  • Relations and cooperation with other neighbors, and
  • Other issues of common interest.
Sanctions tend to take the form of restrictive/coercive measures. Measures that may be economic, diplomatic or cultural (sometimes military). The objective of Area "C" expansion is a non-violent way to demonstrate that the longer the Arab Palestinians, the greater the impact will be in terms of territorial control. They concept and applications are the same.
  • The freezing of Palestinian funds.
  • The withdrawal of externally provided financial services.
  • Bans or restrictions on trade traffic.
  • Bans or restrictions on internal travel and checkpoints.
  • The expansion of Settlements.
These pressures are an attempt to:
  • Effect a change in the conduct of the Palestinian Government and leadership.
  • To place pressure on the general population of the State of Palestine, so that they population transfers that pressure onto the regime or leadership, to seriously address the "permanent status of negotiations" issues --- .
  • To deter, prevent and suppress the financing of Jihadist and Fedayeen activities through a variety of Palestinian Terrorist.
UN and EU Sanctions are very similar in nature to the objective of Israeli Settlement Expansion. Historically, the use of economic sanctions alone have a poor track record. Between 1914 and 1990, various countries imposed economic sanctions in 116 cases. They failed to achieve their stated objectives in 66 percent of those cases and were at best only partially successful in most of the rest. The Israeli approach is slightly different, with the ratchet gradually taking more and more territory, effectively reducing the nation building potential. If the expansion has no impact on the Palestinians --- than it merely adds to the capital infrastructure of Israel. If it does have an impact, the hopefully the Palestinians will be eventually persuaded to come back to the negotiating table with a mind to actually craft a workable treaty of peace on the "permanent status of negotiations" issues.

Most Respectfully,

Of course the Zionist Jews evicted and stole the land from the indigenous Christians and Muslims. They made it clear to the British that they would do so as early as the 1920s.
No they didn't.

Of course they did. They even told the British they planned to do so. This was confirmed in an official communication to the UN, by the UK.

"12. Foremost among the exponents of Zionism at that time was Dr. Weizmann.

Dr. Weizmann answered him as follows:-

  • “The Zionist organization did not want an autonomous Jewish Government, but merely to establish in Palestine, under a mandatory Power, an administration not necessarily Jewish, which would render it possible to send into Palestine 70 to 80,000 Jews annually. The Zionist Association would require to have permission at the same time to build Jewish schools, where Hebrew would be taught, and in that was to build up gradually a nationality which would be as Jewish as the French nation was French and the British nation British. Later on, when the Jews formed the large majority, they would be ripe to establish such a Government as would answer to the state of the development of the country and to their ideals.”13. The King-Crane Commission, touring Palestine later in the same years, found that the Jewish colonists were similarly looking to a radical transformation of the country:

Then you will be able to produce a link to this from a non partisan source
 
So it's ok for a government to confiscate privately owned land?


The U.S. Government does it all the time. And yes, it is okay. :)

Why? And why is it only Palestinian land that ends up confiscated?





Who says it is Palestinian land, and can they produce the land deeds to prove it. In 1948/1949 the Jews in the west bank were forcibly evicted with just the clothes on their backs by the arab muslims. Their land was confiscated and now they are returning to re-claim it back, or don't you think that the Jews should have the right to own land in the west bank again ?

Prove it's not Palestinian land.

We're not talking about 1948. This is 2014 that this occurred.





So now you are changing the criteria because it is Jewish land stolen in 1948 by the arab muslims. The fat that the land was owned by Jews in 1949 before they were dispossessed of it by the arab muslims is the only proof needed. Unless you want to prove the arab muslims owned land in Israel in 2014 ?

But you want proof it is not Palestinian land will the LoN MANDATE FOR PALESTINE do as evidence it was never Palestinian land ?

Delineating the final geographical area of Palestine designated for the Jewish National Home on September 16, 1922, as described by the Mandatory


PALESTINE



INTRODUCTORY.


POSITION, ETC.​


Palestine lies on the western edge of the continent of Asia between Latitude 30º N. and 33º N., Longitude 34º 30’ E. and 35º 30’ E.

On the North it is bounded by the French Mandated Territories of Syria and Lebanon, on the East by Syria and Trans-Jordan, on the South-west by the Egyptian province of Sinai, on the South-east by the Gulf of Aqaba and on the West by the Mediterranean. The frontier with Syria was laid down by the Anglo-French Convention of the 23rd December, 1920, and its delimitation was ratified in 1923. Briefly stated, the boundaries are as follows: -

North. – From Ras en Naqura on the Mediterranean eastwards to a point west of Qadas, thence in a northerly direction to Metulla, thence east to a point west of Banias.

East. – From Banias in a southerly direction east of Lake Hula to Jisr Banat Ya’pub, thence along a line east of the Jordan and the Lake of Tiberias and on to El Hamme station on the Samakh-Deraa railway line, thence along the centre of the river Yarmuq to its confluence with the Jordan, thence along the centres of the Jordan, the Dead Sea and the Wadi Araba to a point on the Gulf of Aqaba two miles west of the town of Aqaba, thence along the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba to Ras Jaba.

South. – From Ras Jaba in a generally north-westerly direction to the junction of the Neki-Aqaba and Gaza-Aqaba Roads, thence to a point west-north-west of Ain Maghara and thence to a point on the Mediterranean coast north-west of Rafa.

West. – The Mediterranean Sea.





So you see the west bank under INTERNATIONAL LAW was given to the Jews and not the arab muslims
 
Of course the Zionist Jews evicted and stole the land from the indigenous Christians and Muslims. They made it clear to the British that they would do so as early as the 1920s.

" in the absence of good faith negotiations"

Bullshit as usual from Rocco. The Jews have never had any intention of negotiating in good faith. The Jews, since the 1920s, stated clearly that they intended to dispossess the non-Jews in the entire area of Palestine and in the more recent negotiations have never included the establishment of a Palestinian state as a possible outcome of the negotiations. This was confirmed publicly by the prime minister of Israel just a few weeks ago. The Jews are in the process of taking all the land and either continuing to rule over non-Jews in a manner similar to how the whites ruled non-whites in South Africa or force the expulsion of the non-Jews from the entire area of Palestine.
 
Of course the Zionist Jews evicted and stole the land from the indigenous Christians and Muslims. They made it clear to the British that they would do so as early as the 1920s.
No they didn't.

Of course they did. They even told the British they planned to do so. This was confirmed in an official communication to the UN, by the UK.

AFTER SATURDAY COMES SUNDAY

History of Usage

According to a publication by the American Foreign Policy Council, the proverb in the form ‘After Saturday, Sunday’, was brandished as a popular slogan among supporters of Haj Amin al-Husseini’s faction during the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine. The message is reported to have meant that once the Jews had been driven out, the Christians would be expelled.
 
Of course the indigenous people would want to expel the European colonial settler. What is so strange about that? It happened in most former colonies. Algeria, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rhodesia, Kenya etc.
 
^^^^^
Anti Semite Nazi scumbag sanctioning ethnic cleansing and genocide by Musłims.
 
No, just indicating that the expulsion of the colonial settler was usually the aim of colonized people throughout recent history. Nothing to do with the religion of the colonizer or colonized, Just an historical fact.
 
^^^^^^
Nope. Arab invaders from neighboring Arab lands with ties to German claiming they will slaughter and expel the Jews forst, and then do the same to the Christians.

Having reading comprehension problems? READ AGAIN.

The message is reported to have meant that once the Jews had been driven out, the Christians would be expelled.
 
1. The territory now known as Palestine formed part of the Ottoman empire until it was occupied, in 1917-19, by British forces under the command of General Allenby. A military administration, under the title of Occupied Enemy Territory Administration, was established with headquarters in Jerusalem at the end of 1917.

2. It was decided at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 that the mandates system, outlined in article 22 of the covenant of the League of Nations should be applied to the non-Turkish portions of the Ottoman Empire. The Mandate for Palestine was assigned to the United Kingdom by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers at San Reno on the 25th April, 1920. Shortly afterwards, on the 1st July, 1920, the military regime was replaced by a civil administration under a High Commission. The northern frontier of Palestine was determined in accordance with an Anglo-French Convention of the 23rd December, 1920, and its eastern frontier by virtue of the recognition, in 1923, of the existence of an independent Government in Transjordan.
The Mandate


3. The principal obligations of the mandatory Power are defined in Article 2 of the Mandate, which reads as follows:

    • “The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.”

This Article appears to give equal weight to three obligations: (i) the creation of conditions which would secure the establishment of the Jewish national home; (ii) the creation of conditions which would secure the development of self-governing institutions; and (iii) the safeguarding of the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants.

4. Article 2, in speaking of the Jewish national home, refers back to the preamble, where the terms of the Balfour declaration of 1917 are recited as follows:

    • “Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country”.
8. When the first census was taken in 1922, Palestine had a population of 752,000. The Jewish community, already growing as a result of immigration, then numbered 84,000. The census was taken on a religious basis and consequently did not provide an exact enumeration of the Arab population as such. It is clear, however, that it amounted to about 650,000.
 
^^^^
Jews were majority in Jerusalem, the heart of Palestine in 1896. The number above doesn't take into considering the the vast majority of Arabs were illegal invaders from neighboring Arab lands. :clap2:

Baz ke goozidi, heyvoun?
 
Of course the Zionist Jews evicted and stole the land from the indigenous Christians and Muslims. They made it clear to the British that they would do so as early as the 1920s.

How do you know which definition they were using in the link you posted?
It said purchase and most people would think that it means 'bought'.
