All Palestinians know that Israel is an apartheid regime. 2021 opened with a reaffirmation of the apartheid nature of the state given by its own leading human rights organisation, B\u2019Tselem. This organisation is following in the footsteps of the definitive report on Israeli apartheid by Richard Falk and Virginia Tilley. The JNF remains an agent of the state of Israel, \u201c100% Israel\u201d in its own words, implementing and advancing Israel\u2019s apartheid agenda to the detriment of the Palestinian people. Our campaign against the JNF continues unabated. Undeterred by the pandemic, our new webinar series offers further opportunities to find out more from international experts about the workings of the JNF and to join with us in our campaign to Stop the JNF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guest speakers so far have included Salman Abu Sitta and Uri Davis and in the coming months Michael Fischbach, Richard Falk, Khalil Alamour and Ilan Papp\u00e9 will be speaking.

Pre-1948, around 90 per cent of Palestine was under\nPalestinian ownership, today that figure is 3 per cent and shrinking. It is\nhowever only part of the wholesale plunder on which Israel has been built. In\nthe early years of the Israeli state, more wealth was transferred to it in the\nform of Palestinian assets than in foreign aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The right of return and compensation for the suffering\nand loss of property and livelihood remain central to realising a measure of\njustice for the Palestinian people. Michael Fischbach, a professor of\nhistory and author of The Peace Process and the Palestinian Refugee\nClaims, Addressing Claims for Property Compensation and Restitution<\/em>, will\ndiscuss his research on the history of attempts to address this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday March 20th at 3.00 pm<\/strong>.\nOur contribution to Israeli Apartheid Week Register here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard Falk: \u201cIsraeli Apartheid.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Richard\nFalk\u2019s and Virginia Tilley\u2019s 2017 report for a major UN body aroused the fury\nof the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, and UN Secretary General Gutteres\nmoved quickly to suppress the report.

His village is al-Sira, one of the many Bedouin villages in the Naqab\nwhich Israel refuses to recognise, depriving people of services. Khalil has\ncalled what\u2019s happening there \u201canother Nakba,\u201d as Bedouins are ethnically\ncleansed to make way for the state\u2019s Judaization plans. JNF UK is a key player\nin these plans, investing heavily in the region and even describing the Naqab\nas a politically uncomplicated area, clearly indifferent to the Bedouin whose\nhomes and lives are being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Khalil is an attorney, a mathematician and community\nleader. He also is a member of the Regional Council for Unrecognized Villages\nand part of the Negev\/Naqab Co-existence Forum for Civil Equality. With\ncolleagues, he works to provide welfare projects, which in other societies are\nthe responsibility of the state. He has spoken up for his community at the UN\nand EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday May 8th at 4.00pm<\/strong> <\/strong>Register here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ilan Papp\u00e9: \u201d The role of the JNF in the\nPalestinian Nakba<\/em>\u201d <\/strong>The Nakba is not\nan isolated historic event, but an ongoing process.

\nNow even a major Israeli human rights group has bowed to the inevitable, the\nglaringly obvious, and concluded that Israel is a Jewish supremacist state from\nthe river to the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
