Settlers’ ”special rights” in the Jordan Valley
4th November 2010
Israeli settlers in the West Bank enjoy special rights and advantages that nobody else has.
For example, settlers have the right to enter a military closed area along the Jordan border to work on agricultural lands confiscated to Palestinian in 1967.
Access to these lands is supposedly forbidden to the public and strictly reserved to the army.
That means Israel doesn’t consider settlers are ‘normal’ citizens but as part of the army.
