An unrecognized village, Dahmash in the middle of Israel: No electricity, no health services, public transport, rubbish removal, or sewage. The residents live under constant threat of demolition and eviction. Tarabut activists have taken up their cause: to stop the demolitions and work toward achieving full recognition for Dahmash. »

0Au centre d'Israël, entre le ville de Lod (Lydda) et celle de Ramle (Ramla), plusieurs centaines de citoyens arabes d'Israël vivent dans un village non reconnu, Dahmach. Officiellement, l'endroit n'existe pas: pas d'électricité, pas de service de santé, pas d'éducation, pas d'évacuation d'ordures, pas d'égouts, pas de planning urbain. Il vit sous une menace permanente de démolition et d'éviction. »

Today an entire village was demolished in Israel; a non-recognized Bedouin village: al-Arakib in the northern Negev, a few miles north of Beer-Sheva, next to Highway 40. Hundreds of police and Special Patrol Unit forces, bulldozers, and security personal participated in the operation. Thirty left-wing activists from different parts of the country managed to reach the site at the last moment in a sign of solidarity with the residents and to protest the destruction. But against such superior forces, crippling forces, there was not much of a chance. The police created a buffer between the Bedouin residents and their homes; they formed a human wall between the activists and residents and the homes – and while doing so arrested several activists. Women and children were removed from their homes. Then, before the eyes of the people of al-Arakib, bulldozers demolished their homes and fields. »

Aujourd’hui, un village entier a été détruit en Israël ; un village bédouin non reconnu : al-Arakib au nord du Néguev, à quelques kilomètres au nord de Beersheba, près de la route 40. Des centaines de policiers et de membres des unités de Patrouille Spéciale, des bulldozers et des personnels de sécurité ont participé à l'opération. Trente militants de gauche de différentes régions du pays ont parvenu au site au dernier moment, en signe de solidarité avec les habitants et pour protester contre la destruction. Mais contre des forces si supérieures et si dissuasives, il n'y avait guère de chances. La police a créé une zone tampon entre les Bédouins et leurs maisons ; elle formait un mur humain entre les militants et habitants et les maisons -- tout en arrêtant plusieurs militants. Les femmes et les enfants ont été expulsés de leur maison. Et puis devant les yeux des gens d’al-Arakib, les bulldozers ont détruit leurs maisons et leurs champs. »

Как известно, 27 июля израильские власти разрушили бедуинскую "непризнанную" деревню Эль-Аракиб в Негеве. Деревня существовала еще до создания государства. В 50-е годы ее жители были выселены властями и из вольных скотоводов превращены в городских пролетариев-батраков, но впоследствии, видя, что государство не использует землю, часть из них туда вернулась »

Joining forces: Residents of Dahmash who are fighting against the demolition of their homes and activists from Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv, struggling relentlessly against the attempts to dispossess Palestinians in Sheik Jarrah, demonstrate together between Lydda (Lod) and Ramla. »

Die zionistische Praxis der letzten 130 Jahre zeichnet sich nicht vornehmlich durch Blitzkriege aus wie den des Jahres 1967, in dem binnen sechs Tagen die Staatsfläche vervierfacht wurde. Auch der Krieg des Jahres 1948 ist nicht typisch für die zionistische Praxis. Der zentrale zionistische Slogan heißt vielmehr: Noch ein Dunam, und noch ein Dunam! Geduldig werden weitere 1000 Quadratmeter gekauft oder erobert, und noch einmal 1000 Quadratmeter. So auch in diesem Sommer. »

David Levi, an activist with Tarabut-Hithabrut, spent the night with other activists in the homes of residents of al-Arakib village the night before the partially rebuilt village was demolished for the second time in a week. (A week later, the village was demolished yet a third time.) David was witness to the arrival of the shovellers and the police on their voyage of destruction. Here is his testimony. »

Acre (Ar. Akka), l’une des plus belles villes du Moyen-Orient, est devenue le terrain d’une guerre d’usure menée par des institutions étatiques, des associations de colons et de gentrificateurs contre les habitants palestiniens de la ville. La reconnaissance de la vieille ville d’Acre comme patrimoine mondial par l’UNESCO ne protège pas ses habitants de la pauvreté et de la misère, de même qu’elle ne leur fournit pas d’immunité face à l'expropriation. Au contraire : cette reconnaissance ouvre des opportunités aux investisseurs et une conjoncture favorable pour des colons nationalistes: Un rapport spécial »

Zionism is an ideological prison for social change in Israel. It is an ideological prison that separates Jews and Arabs. Even “soft Zionism,” which is said to be moderate and conciliatory, is not able to guarantee equal rights and full participation for twenty percent of the population. There is no partial equality. No such thing as “a little bit equal.” And who can say that 20% of the population (including 50% of children below the poverty line) are full and equal partners, when they are excluded from any movement for social change or revolution? Those who do not acknowledge that the state must recognize full and equal rights (individual and collective) – for its citizens, between the two peoples, between all of the various religious communities and cultural groups that exist within it – are probably seeking to preserve their privilege, the illusion of superiority. This cannot be reconciled with serious social reform. »

Hace ya más de diez días que el Jeque ("sheij" se pronuncia en árabe) Saiah Al-Turi reside en el cementerio de su poblado, Al-Arakib, junto a su hijo Aziz y su tío Ismaíl. El poblado beduino Al-Arakib, un poblado no-reconocido por el Estado de Israel (que lo considera asentamiento ilegal) de unos 300 habitantes en el desierto del Negev a pocos kilómetros de la ciudad de Beer Sheva, fue totalmente demolido por tercera vez en las últimas dos semanas. Una orden judicial le prohíbe ingresar al terreno donde estaban construidas las viviendas y donde están siendo reconstruidas en estos momentos por sus familiares y otros pobladores con la ayuda de voluntarios. El jeque Saiah Al-Turi pidió trasmitir estas palabras: »

In the Jordan Valley, colonization is based on the exploitation of scarce resources, such as water, for the benefit of the settlements specializing in export agriculture. For several years the area was cut off from the rest of the West Bank, and currently Palestinian communities holding on to their land are under threat of deportation. The Jewish National Fund is a major actor in the colonization of the Jordan Valley. We are publishing an updated report based on fresh evidence gathered by activists. »

JNF-UK lost 50% of its income from donations in 2011. It's not going anywhere-- they've got more than enough money, and the bulldozers in the Negev/Naqab desert are not skipping a beat.

The suffering of Israelis living in the south of the country is not diminished by Israeli bombings of Gaza. Terrorizing children in Gaza will not guarantee security for the people in Sderot and Ashdod. When they want to fight a war, all of a sudden they start speaking in the name of the Israel’ southern periphery, but once the war is over, they forget about the south and the people who live there. For them, people's suffering is only an excuse to cause more suffering, not to actually address social suffering. Death only brings more death, and the suffering – everybody’s suffering – must be stopped. »

The journalist Raviv Drucker published an internal document from the financial department of the Jewish National Fund on his blog. The document details how much the JNF spends on "development initiatives" for settlers in the occupied West Bank. »
