West Bank – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday issued an order that would toughen punishment for Palestinians involved in real estate deals with “hostile countries” and their citizens.

Abbas’s decision came following reports that Palestinians have sold houses in Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood to Jews.
On Monday, Jewish families moved into two more residences in Silwan that were reportedly purchased through a Palestinian mediator.
In his order, Abbas decided to amend the Palestinian penal code so that it would include hard labor in addition to life imprisonment for Palestinians who sell, rent out or serve as mediators in real estate transactions with “hostile countries” and their citizens.
In 2010, a PA court reaffirmed that the sale of Palestinian land to Israelis is punishable by death. Although the death sentence has not been officially executed, several Palestinians have been murdered in east Jerusalem and the West Bank over the past four decades after being accused of involvement in property transactions with Jews.

So where are the Human rights groups protesting such a gross infringement of democratic rights to sell one’s property to whom ever he chooses to regardless of race or religion?
Is this not an anti Jewish statement? Is this not a religious slur?
And the US and the world gives these sub human savages money and credibility……..explain please?
if the prime minister of israel would declare a punishment to people that sell property to the arabs, what would the world body have to say, we all know from past experience, no further elaborating is required
I suppose Israel can say to the world that we won’t negotiate a state for an entity that doesn’t clear up its own act first.
Would America and the UN tell Israel that this kind of behavior must not stop first?
