Israel's settlers clear path to annexation with new land law
In practice there has never been a serious limit on theft of Palestinian
land. But now, after passing the "Regularization Bill," Israeli
government support for the plunder will
be explicit in law. It will be impossible to blame the outposts on
“rogue” settlers, or claim that Israel is trying to safeguard
Palestinian property rights.
