Four Arabs were just arrested on charges they sold land to Jews — and media members tied to the Palestinian Authority are outright celebrating the arrests.
The news agency Ma’an reported the Arabs were arrested for attempting to “divert land to the occupation.” That’s a phrase that basically means they sold properties to Israelis.
And according to archaic and racist Palestinian-tied laws, that’s an offense punishable by death.

Here’s the skinny on a 2012 case involving Muhamad Abu Shahala, who was indeed sentenced to death for selling land to Jews:

The Jewish Press has more on this recent arrest:
Palestinian Authority media this week are celebrating the successful application of the most racist laws on the books anywhere on the planet, prohibiting the sale of land to Jews – under penalty of death.
According to the news agency Ma’an, following a lengthy investigation, the PA General Intelligence Service (GIS) in Qalqilya on Sunday arrested four Arab real estate brokers suspected of attempting to “divert land to the occupation,” or, more simply, sell land to Israeli customers.
“Palestinian land laws” cover the ownership of land under the Palestinian Authority. These laws prohibit PA Arabs from selling Arab-owned lands to “any man or judicial body corporation of Israeli citizenship, living in Israel or acting on its behalf.”
Land sales to Jews are considered treason by the PA, because they encourage “the spread of moral, political and security corruption.” Arabs who sell land to Israelis may be sentenced to death, although death sentences have only rarely been carried out. Instead, suspects of selling land to Jews are tortured in prison by PA security forces. In 1998, Amnesty International reported that torture of Arabs accused of selling land to Israelis appeared to be systematic, and unlawful killings were also reported against those accused.
In 2012, Muhammad Abu Shahala, a former PA intelligence officer, was sentenced to death for selling land to Jews. The Jewish community of Hebron petitioned the UN, the US, and the Israeli government to step in on his behalf.
The four Qalqilya detainees this past weekend, including a lawyer, are suspected of planning to sell land to Israelis in and around Jerusalem, Qalqilya, Shechem, Tulkarm and inside the Green Line.
The GIS announced that the group worked in cooperation with land brokers inside the Green Line on a deal worth about 8 million Jordanian dinars ($11.27 million).
The suspects were arrested and referred to the Public Prosecution, and all the transactions related to the deal have been stopped, according to the report, which stated: “This was a failed a plan to transfer thousands of acres to the occupation.”
The General Intelligence Service urged the Palestinian Authority citizens to exercise caution when selling land, and to ensure that all procedures are in accordance with the law, especially in “occupied Jerusalem, the border areas and the areas adjacent to the settlements,” and to inform the authorities of any suspected cases of “diversion of land in favor of the occupation,” as this poses a serious threat to national security.

In Fauxistine, anything that is not likable is “collaboration with the Jews” and is usually a death sentence.

I believe further discussion is necessary, as to how moslems are responsible for climate change and ALL weather related disasters, inclusive of hurricanes and polar developments. Only one cure for the earth … and, if moslems are THE ONLY cause of ALL of the problems …there is only one solution.

And while Jews were causing all that “terror” as you ignorantly/wishfully hope others believe, they were also busy doing some useful things and getting major awards regarding world peace, economics, chemistry, literature, and medicine.

It would be less trouble for Israel to invade any territory adjacent to what it already has, it will have to be defended if it is bought, might as well save on real estate fees.

In Islam, once an area has been conquered for Islam, it can never be given up. That’s why Muslims still dream about reconquering Spain and southeast Europe. In their minds, once “land” has had a muslim owner it can never be turned back over to the infidel.

Why is this rabid Antisemite (BeautifulGirlByDana – “Palestinian Sentenced to Death for Selling a Home to Jews”) spewing his youtube venom on this page???

These savages are so petty that when I read stories like this, I can’t believe there are people who truly believe peace with Muslims is a realistic possibility.

It appears to me that someone is more upset over the attack of rockets than the attack of the invaders. I say “tough”.

Before the State of Israel was founded Arabs clans throughout the Middle East who had land holdings in what is now modern-day Israel were all too eager to sell what they deemed to be worthless land to the Jews. Arabs are known for holding a grudge. Why are the families that benefited from these land sales, Jerusalem’s former Grand Mufti Mohammed Amin al-Husseini’s family and the like, not stripped of the bounty of their betrayal of the Fauxistanian cause? Perhaps these back-stabbing hustlers assumed that once the final solution against the Jews was implemented the land’s ownership would once again be reverted back to their greedy claws. Arabs are famous for miscalculating their worth in any and all endeavors they lay their hands on. Mashallah.

Pales-Crime is a proxy and whatever they say i take as lies – just like the leftist media. They are a worn out “cause”.
