PEACE NOW WAS WRONG ABOUT SETTLEMENT LANDS

Largest West Bank Settlement Not Built on Palestinian Land as Previously Charged
A military database released to an anti-settlement group under court pressure shows that very little private land was seized from Palestinians to build Israel's largest West Bank settlement. In November, Peace Now claimed that 86% of Maale Adumim, a Jerusalem suburb of more than 30,000 residents, was built on private Palestinian land. The group reported Wednesday that data show only 0.5% of the settlement is built on private land. (AP/International Herald Tribune)
