crossing of a red line and a reversal of previous policies, including Likud government policies, according to which
private lands cannot be used for the purpose of settlement."

Far-right claim that many Arabs willing to sell Jerusalem homes to Israelis refuted, Anat Ben Nun, Peace Now's
Director of Development and External Relations, says "when homes get sold, it is often done through a 'straw
man,' who works together with Israeli settler organizations. The few that sell do so for financial reasons, as they
are offered very high sums of money for their properties and face harsh social consequences."
