Paleo faces death for selling land to Israel
HEBRON, West Bank - A Palestinian military court has sentenced a man to death by hanging for selling land to an Israeli company.
Too bad, buddy, you should have just stolen aid money from the EU ...
Land sales are considered treason by the Palestinians because of their long-running dispute with the Israelis, however the sentence is unlikely to be implemented. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas routinely withholds the required approval for executions. Several others are on death row as suspected informers for Israel.

The sentence was handed down Tuesday in a military court in the West Bank city of Hebron after two days of closed-door hearings. Prosecutor Issa Amer said the defendant sold land that didn’t belong to him in the village of Beit Ummar using forged documents.
