Sara Miller, Haaretz Correspondent: Peace Now: Israel planning 73,300 new homes in West Bank
Talkback
Title:?Peace Now? a humanitarian movement ?
Name:Jean Van Daem
City: MetulaState:
Though some of the land on which the community was built was definitely purchased by Jews, other parts of the community are situated on tracts of ?privately-owned? Arab land. However, those Arabs had never come forward to make their claim, nor had they ever cultivated or laid any claim to it, until Peace Now sought them out and encouraged them to do so. It was this act by Peace Now members, who "informed" Arab land ?owners? that they had a claim to land upon which a Jewish town was built, thus causing the expulsion of Jews and destruction of Jewish homes.
