This is the story not just with this minor property dispute, but with the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict. No Palestinian can make the slightest compromise with an Israeli. To do so would literally be risking their lives

"Until 1991, we were granted protected tenant status. However, lawyers appointed with the intervention of the Orient House and the Palestinian Authority pressured us not to pay rent because we would have recognized Jewish ownership"

"Since then, anyone who raised the need to return to the protected tenant option has been threatened by PA representatives"

"The lawyer was instructed not to accept any settlement but to fight against the proof of ownership of the Jews, even though he was warned by both us and other sources in Ramallah that he could not refute the proof of ownership presented by the Jews"

"We now have to choose between a death sentence for Arab landowners who sell land to Jews or living on the street"

"The residents are not sure that the offer of alternative housing or for the payment of rent still exists following the court’s decision, but even this is still relevant, they are afraid to accept it for fear that it will be considered a land sale to Jews..."

"...a serious step for which they can be punished. Only recently the head of the Supreme Muslim Council renewed the ruling of 1935 that imposes a boycott and a death sentence on land sellers to Jews."
