The court case against the Jewish community of Migron north of Jerusalem took a dramatic turn Monday, according to the Samaria Regional Authority. The Arabs who claim the land is theirs withdrew their lawsuit for damages after being required to present proof of ownership.
This means that the Arabs have no evidence showing that the land is theirs. These are the same Arabs whose legal motion led to a High Court decision to raze the Jewishhomes built on the land.
Ultra-leftist group Peace Now presented that motion on behalf of several Arabs who demanded that Migron be demolished because it was allegedly "built upon their private lands."
The residents of Migron and representatives of residents in Binyamin and Samaria claimed in their rebuttal that the land had been legally purchased by them. The High Court decision to raze the Jewish homes was reached without any previous lower court discussion of the evidence in the case, they argued. The High Court does not debate  evidence. Therefore, they were never given the chance to prove ownership. Read the rest on: Arutz7
