Arabs taking a page out of the Jews' book
In the pre-state era, Jews paid massive amounts of money - and overpaid - to buy land from Arabs and reclaim it as Jewish land. Is the process now being reversed?On Sunday, I received the following email from Russel H:
This shabbos I heard a story that Arabs have been trying to buy homes in Tzfat, sometimes offering up to four times their value. The money, apparently is Saudi. Do you know anything about this?I didn't. But I put the question to Joel B, who runs this website. Here's his response:
I don't know specific prices but I do know that Tsfat is one of many, many, cities on the 'hit' list. This is a national issue. Everywhere in the country they are either buying or trying to buy. In the predominantly Arab areas they build illegally non stop.Hey folks - is anyone there? Wake up!
