However, because a state of war or near war exists
between Israelis and Palestinians, between individual
Israelis and individual Palestinians, Individual Jews do
in fact tend to take advantage of that state of near war
to steal land from individual Palestinians. They
complain their neighbors are a problem, and problem or
not, their neighbors houses get bulldozed, their
neighbors get moved out without compensation, and by and
by ...

Of course none of this is as bad as what Muslims
routinely do to non muslims, and frequently do to
Muslims of the incorrect type, and would have done to
Jews if they could, but nonetheless, it happens, and
happens on a rather large scale.
