On Monday morning, the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria, under the auspices of the Defense Ministry, uprooted a vineyard near the Yitzhar community in Samaria. This was following a petition submitted by PA Arabs to Israel’s High Court of Justice,
The petitioners did not provide a smidgen of proof of ownership of the land on which the vineyard had been planted some four years ago, and yet the vineyard’s Jewish owners were handed a “Disruptive Land-Use Order,” a unique military order permitting the removal of agricultural assets even when no conflicting claim of ownership is submitted or proven.
To date, laws have not been enforced against the constant violations committed by PA Arab encroachment on legally owned Jewish land. This vineyard uprooting is but another example of how severely out of control and unaccountable the Civil Administration has become. It’s now up to MK Bezalel Smotrich to reverse these ongoing travesties of justice and thoroughly unjustified attacks against innocent Jews in Judea and Samaria.
