BY Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent: Last Jew to leave Hebron after 1929 massacre to back settler claims

Title:Deeds & Keys
Name:Palestinian
City: State:
Ezra says: "I never waived my rights, and those of my family, in these properties,"

Palestinians who were driven out of their homes in 1948 also still hold deeds & keys to their homes and lands in villages & towns throughout Palestine.

The key has become a Palestinian symbol and a reminder of their Nakba just like tatooed numbers have become a Jewish symbol and a reminder of their Holocaust.

I support Ezra`s attempt to recover his family`s property, but I wonder how he feels about fellow Palestinians trying to do the same.

Property rights is one of the pillars of a democracy. Jews have made a great progress in recovering their property in Germany and other European countries. Palestinians will get their turn soon and will greatly rely on the Jewish legal precedence.
