Documents reveal West Bank settlement built illegally
By Akiva Eldar

Illegal permits were issued for a new West Bank project while buildings were being constructed or even completed, according to documents Haaretz has obtained.

The project is the Modi'in Illit settlement neighborhood of Matityahu East, which is being built on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Bil'in.

An eyewitness reported that the illicit construction is proceeding, despite recent instructions from the settlement's planning and construction committee to stop the work.

The military government's Civil Administration chief planner, Shlomo Moskovitch, admitted the building permits for the new neighborhood Matityahu East in Modi'in Illit were issued illegally.

In another document the project's entrepreneur claims Modi'in Illit council head Yaakov Guterman promised he would issue building permits before the planning and construction committee dealt with the requests, as required.

The new neighborhood is being built on the private land of the Palestinian village Bil'in. The land was purchased by land dealers through dubious powers of attorney, then rezoned as state land and leased or sold to settlers' building companies.

The construction of the separation fence prompted the purchasers to implement their "rights" by hastily fixing facts on the ground.

Oooh, that's a good article. I think I might post it in a discussion I'm currently having with a Zionist. "All land was legally bought" my ass!
