We stood on a rocky hill at the edge of the village of Dura-al-Qara, with Harbi Hasan and Abdel Rahman Qasem. For nearly 20 years now, they have not been allowed access to their lands. The row of red-roofed stone buildings on the ridge opposite is built on Hasan's land, while the row of gray, skeletal buildings is on Qasem's property. Their construction has been stopped, for now, by court order.

The land stolen by invaders was occupied illegally and bought and sold illegally. The land's deed is worthless as it was sold by thieves. Now the squatter has had to give up his ill gotten goods and Gideon is crying foul. I think the Arab occupiers have been lucky to squat on Israeli land for this land and if anything should pay reparations to Israel for using the land this long. There is no Hasan's land. There is land Hasan has been an accomplice in stealing and now it's time he returns it.
thank you
