I expect the US state department to go bonkers over this

[Amish with an attitude]

Israel’s deed to the land is right there in Genesis.

Gen 15:18

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates

[Two Kids' Dad]

So a dunum is a tenth of a hectare. I never knew that.

[Paul R.]

100% correct. I advocated something like this a while back. For every Hamas rocket launched into Israel, extend a bulldozed no-man’s land into Gaza by 1 hectare. For any Israeli killed or kidnapped, make it 100 hectares, for any injured, make it 20. Or something like that.

Gaza is only 36000 Hectares.

Either the Palis will get the message, or pretty soon some of them will have to take up swimming.
