   "The definition of 'absentee' turns on presence, not intention. A landowner who spent a week in a neighbouring village while his own was attacked satisfies it.",

Israel has never established a registration system for them.",
   "In Jabareen v. State of Israel (CA 4067/07), descendants of the destroyed village of al-Lajun challenged the expropriation of land taken from roughly 34,000 dunams by notice of Finance Minister Levi Eshkol on 15 November 1953, on the statutory ground that it was needed for 'settlement needs'. No settlement was built; a forest was planted on it. The claim failed.",
   "The UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine valued the property as a quantifiable debt. Its land specialist John Berncastle produced working paper A/AC.25/W/63 on 1 May 1951, and the Commission held that the value of the abandoned Arab property 'constituted a debt by the Government of Israel to the refugees'. No compensation settlement has been concluded in the 75 years since.",
   "After 1967 the statute was applied to East Jerusalem property owned by West Bank residents: people who had not moved, but whose property Israel's own unilateral boundary change had brought inside Jerusalem. A ministerial committee attended by two ministers 'clarified' the Custodian's full Article 19 powers over it in June 2004."
