Nearly 2 decade battle to remove Muslim squatters from Jewish property finally victorious

For land owner Yitzhak Herskovitz, it's something to be joyful about:

Yitzchak Herskovitz's tenacious legal battle, over the course of 18 years, to save his land from Arab squatters has paid off big-time: The land, on the edge of the Arab neighborhood of Beit Tsafafa in southern Jerusalem, is now to be included in a new city zoning plan for the Jewish neighborhood of Givat HaMatos.

That is, not only is the plot of land recognized as Jewish-owned, it will now be part of a Jewish neighborhood. Herskovitz's long, expensive, arduous battle was thus a victory on both the individual and national planes. (Read his account of the miraculous nature of his victory here.)

Peace Now is seething and gnashing over this success. It's a pity they continue to be so hostile which only illustrates how socialist their brains are. Herskovitz's victory is something to admire, as well as his determination not to give up.
