There would be no justice from PLO in "Peace House" case
And that's why it's a good thing an Israeli court has ruled favorably in the case of a house that was bought from an Arab by a Jew in Hebron and has been the subject of "legal" nonsense since:
(IsraelNN.com) A district court has ruled that the Palestinian Authority judicial system cannot be trusted to decide fairly who owns the Peace House in Hevron, where police expelled the Jewish residents a little more than a year ago. The Peace House was ordered to be emptied until lower courts decide who is the rightful owner of the property.I'm glad the judge noted the dictatorial "law" that's involved in this matter, because it's wrong to threaten people with death for selling property, just like it is to oppose free trade. What's more, the PLO/Fatah should not be allowed to threaten the life of the seller any more than the buyer, who should be granted protection, and this is something that must be fully addressed in the trial hearing.
Judge Yitzchak Avner noted that the PA law that imposes the death sentence on an Arab who sells land to a Jew precludes a fair hearing in its courts. Tal Investments, representing the Jew who paid cash for the multi-story building on the road between Kiryat Arba and the Patriarchs’ Cave in Hevron, had asked the court to rule against Arab interests who wanted the case to be heard in PA courts.
