Paging Sid Ryan

Looks like CUPE's good friends in the Middle East are still pursuing that "restorative justice"...
A Palestinian military court has condemned a man to death by hanging for treason for selling land to Israelis.

Anwar Breghit, 59, was convicted by a court in the West Bank town of Hebron. He sold property near his village "that he did not own", prosecutors said.

Only two people have had death sentences against them carried out, although others have been summarily executed over suspicions that they sold land to Israelis.

RELATED: No, not the Israelis... again
"The battles came a day after two men were thrown to their deaths from high-rise rooftops, signalling a rapid descent into all-out confrontation."
Confrontation?!?! There's some hard-hitting journalism.

There are bodies falling from the skies... and it's a confrontation?

Seriously?
