West Bank settlers flog advertising on eBay

For £20,000 the couple, who are set to be evacuated as part of the Israeli roadmap, are selling the space which they say is guaranteed to receive international media coverage throughout the duration of the evacuation operation - expected to take some three or four days.

According to the Ebay ad, when the Israeli troops come to be evacuated, the couple along with hundreds of others will entrench themselves to the old English police fortress that is in the middle of the settlement and fight hard as they can against the soldiers.

They say that they will hang a big flag with your company name on it and guarantee that the spot will be filmed by international media outlets and "will reach the whole wide world."

So far they have not had any bids and their pitch is set to expire today. It is not surprising really, no one wants their company to be seen in the middle of something involving conflict. When we checked how well they were doing this morning, the bid which was here seems to have been taken down by eBay. µ
