In this undated aerial photo made available by 'Peace Now' Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006, the West Bank Jewish settlement of Maaleh Adumim is seen on the outskirts of Jerusalem with the area in red showing what the group says is 86 percent of the community's land that is built on private Palestinian property. Close to 40 percent of the land West Bank settlements were built on is private Palestinian land and the construction is therefore illegal, a settlement watchdog group said Tuesday, challenging the government's claims that it stopped that practice decades ago.'We are talking about an institutional land grab,' said Dror Etkes, a settlement expert with the Peace Now group.
