On Tuesday, a Palestinian court sentenced a man to death for selling land in the West Bank to Israelis. The court in Hebron sentenced the man 59 year old man, Anwat Breghit, to death by hanging after finding him guilty of treason and of selling Palestinian land to Israelis. The indictment says he sold property in the village of Beit Omar to Israelis from the Jewish settlement of Karmei Tzur. The sentence requires the approval of President in order to be carried out.
I feel that decisions such as these are the primary source to the continuation of the conflict. If the man rightfully owned the land he should be able to do with it as he pleased. If the government continues to make decisions that promote these beliefs the problems will persist and a soultion will never be achievable.

I agree with you, and the issue of property from this small paragraph seems really confusing. I think it's something we should talk about in class, Why would you need the President's approval? That sounds ridiculous!
