Summary

"Some 100 outposts - illegal Jewish settlement points in the West Bank - have been built to date. In this report, the outpost of Adei Ad serves as a test case illustrating how the foundation and establishment of an outpost leads the farmers in the nearby villages to lose their ability to work their land. The observation of a single outpost helps understand the general phenomenon and the method of the outposts as a means to take over Palestinian land. ... This report presents the connection between the failure of the authorities responsible for the law enforcement and the protection of Palestinians and their property, and the dispossession of Palestinians from their land, by drawing a continuum that begins with the absence of effective law enforcement upon Israeli civilians, both on the criminal and the administrative levels, and ends with the inability of the Palestinian land owners to work their land and live off its fruits."
