2018-06-30 PALESTINE: routines of the occupation

2018-06-30 PALESTINE: routines of the occupation
---
The following report appeared in Haaretz, Hebrew edition, but so far fails to appear in the English edition. Apparently, the editors find such routine, trivial stories of no interest for the foreign reader... However, the story provides an insight into the lopsided lawlessness and land grabbing in Palestine.. State employees are on an ongoing mission to find Palestinian "public lands", which are then turned over to settlers through fake legal procedures. However, here the process involved a bit more chutzpah than usual...

State of Israel employee in the "Civil Administration" of Palestine declared an area "public land" - and then established on it his own private illegal settlement

Yossi Levitte signed on the declaration that the area in Gush Etzion was "public land". Then, a short time after resigning, he grabbed possession of the land and built on it his own private farm. The regional council of surrounding Jewish settlements supports his efforts and raises funds for the illegal farm.
