An Israeli settler group is promoting new properties for sale in southern Lebanon, as the Israeli army wages a bombing campaign in the country that has killed over 1000 people since mid-September.
Uri Tzafon, or the Movement for Settlement in Southern Lebanon’s website boasts spacious, light-filled apartments overlooking a swimming pool, with offers starting at 300,000 shekels ($80,000).
“After the elimination of the Hezbollah leadership…do you also dream of a big house, a view of snowy mountains and a warm community in the land of our ancestors?” the advert reads.
A statement on its website claims the settlement of southern Lebanon is “necessary for Israel’s security” and that “only an Israeli civilian presence will ensure stable control and prevent the area from becoming a terrorist stronghold”.
They take it forcibly in the same way a man with a gun could come take your home if the police didn’t exist. You might be wondering why they don’t defend themselves then, and the answer is that the police exist in this case and will help the other guy take your home.
What all of the replies still do not tell me is who is selling this? Who gets the money?
Oh that’s what you’re asking. In that case I have no idea. Maybe someone steals the land and then sells it to people who don’t want to do it themselves?
