He may already be entitled to compensation for the destroyed house and the well, although commenters on this thread have made the point that if these incidents occurred as part of the 1967 war Arab land claims are inferior to Jewish claims. As you say, he may get compensation if Israel takes his land for development. <br />I suspect he is also in dispute with the local Muslims, although he doesn't spell things out.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-85769404125441265512011-05-01T20:00:12.917+01:002011-05-01T20:00:12.917+01:00If I understand the situation correctly, Hanania&#...If I understand the situation correctly, Hanania's land has not been taken by Israel. If the land is eventually seized, he will be entitled to compensation, but at this point he is not.

I have corrected the post to include mention of the 1967 war of aggression launched by Jordan in Jerusalem.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-29979816280427827252011-04-28T09:12:37.906+01:002011-04-28T09:12:37.906+01:00As you say, the Arabs "instigated a war of ag...As you say, the Arabs "instigated a war of aggression in 1948." In this war, they attacked Jewish civilians from the beginning, that is, from the early morning on 30 November 1947 not long after the UN partition plan recommendation. The vote to recommend partition took place at about 12:35 am on November 30, Israel time, although in New York the time was 5:35 pm, November 29, 1947. Shortly afterwards the attacks on Jewish civilians began and in December 1947, Jewish civilians were fleeing south Tel Aviv, parts of Jerusalem, and elsewhere in the country. That was the first war. <br />Then again, in 1967, Jordan attacked Jewish civilians in Jerusalem with artillery stationed on hills around the city [like the Gilo ridge]. So there were two wars of aggression, not one. Let's not forget. Those are reasons why Arab claims are morally inferior to the Jewish claims.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
