APPENDIX II
CONFISCATION OF PALESTINIANS' LANDS
In the earlier parts of this chapter we have noted many cases concerning the confiscation of Palestinians' lands. We now present a list of cases of land confiscation between the years 1982 and 1986. This list is not complete because in many cases we have not been able to locate the owner or because the owner has not brought his case, for obvious reasons, to public attention. Despite these limitations, this list conveys something of the massive assault on Palestinian life and livelihood these confiscations have caused. Almost on a daily basis, new confiscations and seizures of properties are announced. No Arab village or town in the West Bank and Gaza is left untouched.
All the areas mentioned in the following list are in dunums. One dunum is equal to 0.247 acres. One thousand dunums is equal to 1 sq. kilometre and equal to 0.386 sq. miles.
