Reply to comment by ZippityZerpDerp in [OC] The life expectancy is Palestine is higher than Iraq, Syria and almost as good as Jordan. by naimious

They define it as the Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza, where being Jewish is a death sentence, so this is pretty much limited to Palestinians.

Palestinian citizens of Israel itself have life expectancies more comparable with their Jewish neighbors, although there is a ~4-year difference.

On the other hand, life expectancies of Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria have tended to be lower. Among other things, they receive less international aid.

The settler population in the West Bank was 451,700 in 2020.

“Palestinian territories in the West Bank”. I agree this isn’t the entire geographic West Bank.

If a Jew buys a house in one of these areas, both the Jew and the seller would be killed.

Um, okay. Go ahead and find a home for sale in the Palestinian West Bank, and offer to buy it. When you show up to sign the papers, casually mention that you're Jewish, and see how it goes.

Wow. Quite a change in tune from you. Going from: > “you’ll be killed” to “it’s going to be hard to buy”

I wasn't saying "it's going to be hard to buy". I'm pointing out that you will die if you do this.

But hey - go ahead and prove me wrong. Buy yourself a house, and wear a yarmulke while you move in.

Lol. When you say something you have to have evidence for it. Someone doesn’t have to prove it’s not true, you have to prove it is true.

I’ll say it again, reality says otherwise.

The death sentence is towards the seller, not the buyer. It prohibits selling palestinian property to foreigner, selling it to someone with an israeli citizenship or acting on its behalf is considered treasonous.

It also says that for any death penalty to be carried out it must be approved by the president, which he has refused to do sonce 2010.

They'd kill the seller, and just let the Jew move in?

>It prohibits selling palestinian property to foreigner

Well, no, it only prohibits selling to 'hostile countries' - i.e. mainly Israel.

>for any death penalty to be carried out

"Osama Hussein Mansour...died in July after falling from a window while being held in Palestinian custody, but it was unclear whether he fell or was pushed."

In other words, they say they'll kill anyone who sells land to a Jew, and they do kill anyone who sells land to a Jew.
