Aren't These The Good Guys?
This is interesting:
The New York Times leads with leaked Israeli government documents that seem to show Palestinians privately own 39 percent of the land currently held by Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

...

Peace Now, an Israeli advocacy group, provided the documents to the NYT, which are supposedly from an Israeli government database. The group plans to make an official release of its findings today. If true, it would suggest the Israeli government, and the settlers, are consistently violating private Palestinian property rights. According to a spokesman, the Israeli government has been looking into this issue for the last three years but it has not finished its analysis. The NYT points out that this is not the first time concern over private Palestinian land has been brought up, and in 2005 officials promised to destroy a number of settlements, although in the end only one was taken apart.
Property rights?

We don't need no stinkin' property rights.

It's so sad to note how victims are trained, and ultimately turn into, perpetrators. These actions by the Israeli's are more in line with fascism than modern democracy.

Well, they ARE our allies. What's that saying about birds of a feather?
