How is a Meretz Party member a settler? Because he works in a building that the PA Authority claims belongs to them. Arab lawyers have been scouring old deeds trying to claim that Israeli buildings in central Jerusalem belong to them.
This classic episode is from 1999 when Ehud Barak was Prime Minister and things were much, much different... or were they?
