    A simple but effective message; I'm copying this to my blog. If I'm treading on anyone's toes let me know and I'll take it down.

    This is unbelievable!


    Why is Israel laying claim to an Arab home in Jaffa?

    <span>The first hearing in the case is scheduled for February. Attorney Hisham Shabaita from Tel Aviv University's Human Rights Clinic is representing the family. "The state is cynically and aggressively seeking to dispossess citizens of their home that was built before the state's founding, solely because they are Arabs," he says. "The state's aim to act upon a dubious partnership in a residence, a partnership born out of the controversial Absentee Property Law ... stems from pure greed."</span>

    Hmm, that gives me an idea.  What if I let Israel pay for me to move there and then I give my home to a Palestinian.  What would happen?  Anybody know?

    It's an acquired taste, just an old man grumbling about the wicked world he lives in; very British-based, even parochial. I regard it as vanity publishing, as I sometimes think that I'm the only one who reads it, and even I struggle to understand it at times.
    Still, if you've a taste for the banal -

    As for $anan, I've had no problem with racists to date, so thw question of censorship has not arisen.

    Actually, someone sort of did do it.  An Israeli bought a home in one of the colonies and gave it to a Palestinian family. However, when the colony found out what was going on, they refused to let them move in. I think it os still in litigation.

    Even if they succeed in moving in the thugs will make sure their lives become hell. See the photos of the encaged families.
