The main difference on settlement policy is that Labor is more deceptive. In a highly deceptive statement in 1992, Israel announced it was terminating government financial benefits to settlers. In reality, the announcement was a fraud. Financial benefits to Jewish settlers did not end. Settlers were given generous grants and loans.
Settlers there are exempt from municipal taxes for five years and then pay a reduced rate.
Because of this bias, per capita taxation of Palestinians in East Jerusalem is five times that of Jews living there. Since then, Israel has proceeded with the construction of highways in East Jerusalem and elsewhere in the occupied territories. In each instance, this has meant the confiscation of Palestinian land and the demolition of Palestinian property, including many homes. Moreover, the Israeli government permits only Jewish-owned enterprises to be established along these new highways. As they become lined with businesses that are exclusively Jewish, the highways will become barriers to Palestinian movement that are even more formidable.
