http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22608104 Israeli court considers landmark property law cases The Cliff Hotel is on a hill in a strategic location in Abu Dis, on the outskirts of Jerusalem Israel legalising state theft of Palestinian lands. The United Nations and the "International Community" condemns the Israeli action, but does nothing. Israel's Absentee Property Law was passed in 1950. Again the Israeli's get away with it not because they have right on their side, but simply because they are Israeli's and get away with this and worse every day. The International guilty conscience prevents any real sanction against state theft, apartheid and terrorism. Israel conducts such actions every day and then wonders why ordinary people around the world, loathe and despise them.
