The story of the Bedouin village Sa’wa in the Naqab is the story of Palestine, from the West Bank to Jerusalem and beyond. Palestinian homes are being demolished and Palestinian families are being expelled to make way for the Israeli settler population.
‘NYT’s Israel bureau chief Patrick Kingsley demolishes the idea that Israel is “shrinking” the conflict in an article in which he visits several places in Israel where Palestinians once lived and were uprooted and shows the deep alienation that discrimination has fostered in ordinary Israelis.
The Jewish National Fund is a linchpin of the system that enforces superior rights for Jews over Palestinians, whether inside Israel or in the occupied territory. A recent JNF decision to start publicly funding projects in the West Bank just makes that role more clear. Now the question becomes — will its international supporters stand by the organization?
