"N. America synagogues sell Palestinian land for illegal settlements" ... reportedly

 It is really not that surprising, was it not Jesus that drove the merchants from the Temple, the house of God?

"Matthew 21:12-13 New King James Version (NKJV) Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves."

"Reports of several synagogues in the U.S. and Canada reportedly selling Palestinian land for illegal settlements behind closed doors have sparked outrage."

"One of these meetings, organized by the Texas-based real estate company Keller Williams, was protested in Englewood, New Jersey."

Dozens of protesters, including pro-peace Jews, gathered outside the Ahavath Torah Synagogue in Englewood, holding Palestinian flags and protesting the sale of properties to American Zionist Jews from illegal settlement areas.  Emphasis added.

Surrounded by tight police security measures, the protesters gathered near the synagogue, for hours chanting slogans such as "Freedom for Palestine," "End the Israeli occupation," and "Illegal settlements must stop."

In pouring rain, protesters carried banners saying: "You can’t sell stolen lands," "This is land theft," and "Do not do business on stolen lands."

Leila Hazou, the daughter of a Palestinian who was born in Jerusalem, said that she came from Milford, Pennsylvania, nearly two hours away, to protest "the greatest injustice of our time."

 Decrying the meeting inside the synagogue, Hazou told Anadolu Agency (AA): "It's a disgusting situation for me that lands and properties that don’t belong to them and are illegally settled are being sold. It's illegal and morally wrong in many ways. This shouldn’t happen in this country or anywhere else. That's why we had to be here to reject it."
