Lets see what spin and doubletalk they'll use to explain this

Thanks MM for forwarding this story on.

The Israeli PR spin machine, second to none in the world will find some way to denounce their own government maps, records that clearly indicate what the whole world already knows: Occupation, genocide, apartheid is what Israel does best.

Israeli Map Says West Bank Posts Sit on Arab Land

JERUSALEM, Nov. 20 — An Israeli advocacy group, using maps and figures leaked from inside the government, says that 39 percent of the land held by Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is privately owned by Palestinians.
...
The data indicate that 40 percent of the land that Israel plans to keep in any future deal with the Palestinians is private.
...
The new claims regarding Palestinian property are said to come from the 2004 database of the Civil Administration, which controls the civilian aspects of Israel’s presence in the West Bank. Peace Now, an Israeli group that advocates Palestinian self-determination in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, plans to publish the information on Tuesday. An advance copy was made available to The New York Times.
....
That person, who has frequent contact with the Civil Administration, said he and the official wanted to expose what they consider to be wide-scale violations of private Palestinian property rights by the government and settlers. The government has refused to give the material directly to Peace Now, which requested it under Israel’s freedom of information law. (Source: New York Times, Nov 20, 2006)
