| Summary/Abstract |
The 'over-victimization syndrome' is a tendency to present an embellished picture of the damage caused to a party in order to enhance public support. It affects the presentation of Palestinian political claims in few contemporary actual legal proprietary issues: Israeli settlements on private Palestinian land in the West Bank, Israel's policy towards Palestinian tenants in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem and the rehabilitation of the Neirab Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. The article argues that the syndrome leads to both political bias and more unnecessary suffering.
