US real estate fair marketing land in occupied West Bank draws protests

Several hundred pro-Palestinian supporters assembled outside a synagogue in Teaneck, New Jersey on Sunday to demonstrate their outrage over a real estate event showcasing land and properties for purchase in Israel and the occupied West Bank.

The event at the Keter Torah synagogue in Teaneck, organised by the Israel-based My Home in Israel, is just the latest in a string of real estate fairs taking place across North America featuring land and properties for sale in the occupied West Bank. Activists say it isn't just unconscionable but also illegal under international law. 

"You cannot sell anything that isn't yours. [And] these sales are taking place in New Jersey and then they are going there [to the occupied West Bank] and taking people's homes," Alex, a New Jersey resident, told Middle East Eye.

"This is [a] violation of international law. It is abhorrent that we had to come out here to protest against this," Alex, who only offered his first name, added.
