Migron situation about to explode?
Defense Minister Ehud Barak has ordered the IDF to expel Migron residents from their homes on Tuesday before a hearing at the Supreme Court in which 17 of the families will attempt to convince the court that they have legally purchased the land on which their homes sit. Migron residents and the Binyamin region on Saturday night said they are holding firm to their understanding that the evacuation of the West Bank outpost is not scheduled to occur until after a High Court of Justice hearing on the matter on Tuesday.Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. If only we lived in a normal country without the tyranny of the 'Supreme Court' and the Leftists.

On Thursday night, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Eitan Dangot sent a letter to Binyamin Regional Council head Avi Ro’eh advising him that he must evacuate the outpost by Tuesday morning.
He told Ro’eh that his office and that of the Defense Ministry had made every effort possible to facilitate a peaceful evacuation, including providing an alternative site for the families to live.
He added that the two offices were willing to help the families with the move.
But he warned that the IDF would forcibly evict the families if they had not relocated by Tuesday morning.
He said that security officials would have to reconsider whether to allow them to move into the new homes, which are located two kilometers away near the Psagot winery.
But Ro’eh said it was his understanding that the families did not have to move until after the court hearing. He added that he had plans to move them, but was only planning to execute them later this week.
Ro’eh said he remained hopeful that the court would delay the evacuation, or at the very least allow the 17 families to remain.
Asking families to leave their homes is not something that should be done lightly, he said, and it is important to do so only after every option for a reprieve has been exhausted.
On Friday morning Migron families held a small protest outside the Prime Minister’s Residence asking him to halt the evacuation.
Migron resident Shuki Sad said that residents were waiting to see what happened in court. He added that the only boxes to be found in the outpost these days were ones that belonged to two new families who had just moved in.

If you lived in a "normal country", you would have a county clerk's office where all this title info would be filed, certified, etc., and wld be a matter of public record (all on the internet!). It would be part of a municipal Arcview GIS system, along with the water system, the wastewater system, the storm drain system, etc etc. The govt would be working from the starting line that individuals own surveyed parcels. And then they'd have to come at it from the eminent domain or emergency evacuation angles... and make the case. I think they may have a case in mind, which those of us at a distance may see merit in for the moment.
