Talk:Declarations of State Land in the West Bank

Topic
This article is about the history and current practices of Israel in regard to declaring land in the West Bank as "state land".

An explanation
See this youtube presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F7jyMgeiZU

Perhaps not the most impressive production, but interesting to hear it explained.

Query
Can't seem to easily find the answer to my question. If I was a potential settler in the WB, and I want to have a house in one of the settlements, who do I buy it from? Am I buying the freehold? Or is it some sort of leasehold? Selfstudier (talk) 13:34, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , I have not been able to figure this out yet. Interesting question - I have been thinking of buying a holiday home :-) Onceinawhile (talk) 08:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Legal background not explained
Writing that it's "complex" and nothing else means nothing. We need an explanation. All else depends on it. For instance: why is Turkey's present to the Palestinians in giving them the Ottoman cadaster such a weapon against Israeli land confiscation? If Israel confiscates at will, why are the Ottoman cadaster, the lack of Mandate-period registration, and the fact that by 67 only 1/3 of WB lands were registered, of any importance at all? And so forth. A legal weapon cannot be dealt with anecdotically (look what happened in place X or Y), as it's done here. No background, no article. Arminden (talk) 14:50, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

I found much more about Israeli legal tricks at Israeli settlements. It's more general, but helpful. Should be linked, expanded on here. The legal ways of combating it should be presented as such, not via examples. It's key to the annexation project and deserves more basic info and detail.
