| A nation cannot occupy its own land |

| Reactions from MKs to US President Barack Obama's speech in Jerusalem on Thursday ranged from excited support to condemnation. Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett mentioned the rockets fired at Sderot in the morning, saying they were the result of the previous withdrawal from land, as were thousands of victims over the years. "A Palestinian state is not the right way," the Bayit Yehudi chairman said. "The time has come for new ideas and creativity to solve the Middle East conflict." "Anyway," he added, "a nation does not occupy its own land." |

| #2 I thought that was Eminent Domain. The power to take private property for public use by a state, municipality, or private person or corporation authorized to exercise functions of public character, following the payment of just compensation to the owner of that property. Federal, state, and local governments may take private property through their power of eminent domain or may regulate it by exercising their Police Power. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires the government to provide just compensation to the owner of the private property to be taken. A variety of property rights are subject to eminent domain, such as air, water, and land rights. Oh, wait. Thats HERE anyone with the juice can condem and acquire your property. Like a foreclosure. |

| #1 "Anyway," he added, "a nation does not occupy its own land." Of course it does, it's called Uti Possidetis. It's black letter International Law. |
