Note how stealing of Palestinian land is going on with state approval, during the so-called freeze:
Freeze, what freeze?
The stories of residents of the Palestinian village al-Ghaniya in the heart of the West Bank reveal some of the bluff behind the temporary construction freeze. On December 11, 2009, two weeks after the freeze went into effect, a plan to build 200 housing units in the unauthorized Givat Habreikha outpost, near the settlement of Talmon, took effect, completely cutting off al-Ghaniya residents from their lands. A petition submitted by the residents, together with the Bimkom association and the Yesh Din organization, stated that even though the freeze permits continued work only on homes whose foundations were laid before the freeze was issued, since January a dozen new structures have been added to the 64 existing ones.
After the Civil Administration did nothing to halt the illegal construction on their lands, the petitioners claim, they turned a few months ago to the High Court of Justice. Justice Neal Hendel refused to issue an injunction. He accepted the state's position whereby in any case there is a general freeze. The village residents were not amused. They know that even a Supreme Court order has no impact on their neighbors. A petition submitted against the construction of a school in Talmon without a permit won a temporary injunction, and the work there continued until the Civil Administration approved the building and the High Court canceled the injunction. The High Court will hear the petitions next week.
