An Arab claiming to be the house's owner denies the house was ever sold to Jews. "The house is all mine," claimed Baez Rajabi, "and I have all of the documents proving it." However, another Arab man, Mohammed Al-Baradei, is also quoted in some media outlets as saying the house is his: "I handed all of the documents over to police after making copies," said Baradei.
Actually, this situation has all the potential of making a highly entertaining read. It seems that left wing Israeli daily Ha’aretz is trumphing Mohammed al-Baradei as owner; while the Israeli left-wing larger daily Ynet News is reporting Baez Rajabi as the alleged owner of the land & building in question.
As much as I would love to watch Ha’aretz and Ynet News slug it out in the press – maybe it would be just easier to rule out which Palestinians in Hebron do not currently hold in their possession a title to the land & building in question. But before we do that – does anyone know how accurate carbon-14 dating is nowadays?
