- The Palestinian Authority does not want the world to know that it has a law that prohibits the sale of property to the Israeli “enemy.”
- This is the same Palestinian leadership that is now telling the Biden administration that it is keen on resuming the peace process with Israel.
- It is also safe to assume that the Congressmen are not aware of the Islamic religious decrees banning Muslims from even attempting to engage in such deals [selling land to Jews].
- The Congressmen do not know about these matters because the mainstream media in the West rarely reports about the apartheid policies of the PA leadership, including the ban on selling properties to Jews.
- Abbas knows that if he makes such concessions, he will never enjoy the privilege of being buried in a Muslim cemetery, according to the ruling of his mufti and Islamic religious bodies.
- In the meantime, Abbas has no problem telling the Biden administration and members of the Congress what they like to hear (about a peace process with Israel and the so-called two state solution) in order to receive US financial aid.
- Abbas will take the money while at the same time his security forces are chasing Palestinians who do business with Jews.
A Palestinian man was sentenced on June 30 to seven years in prison with hard labor after he was convicted of attempting to sell land to Israeli Jews. The man, whose identity was not revealed, was sentenced by a Palestinian Authority (PA) court in the West Bank city of Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians.
“The Ramallah Court of First Instance, represented by Judges Ramez Jamhour, Ramez Musleh and Amjad al-Sha’ar, issued a ruling convicting the defendant of attempting to carve out part of the land of the State of Palestine in favor of the enemy,” the PA’s official news agency Wafa reported. “He was sentenced to 7 years in prison with hard labor.”
“Carve out” is the term the PA uses to describe the transfer of ownership of real estate from a Palestinian to an Israeli Jew. The “enemy,” needless to say, refers to Israel.
@deanblake
I totally agree!
“carve out” is exactly why I advocate that houses of terrorists torn down should also have the land title forfeited automatically to the families of the victims, for resale to the JNF if necessary. If it hurts them so much, this is exactly the penalty to be exacted for killing a Jew where there is no death penalty.
