Israel/Palestine

(6,068 posts)I am drawing attention to the fact that Israel is bulldozing Bedouin off their land and attempting to replace them with Jewish-only settlements (its good to see that you now recognise them as settlements too, by the way). That is opposing racism. It doesnt surprise me that you consider my principled opposition to such a policy to be racist. After all, that is exactly what a person of your stripe would say.
If Jews want to live in the Negev, then they can buy land from willing sellers just like everybody else, instead of bulldozing the existing residents and stealing their land. I don't think that's unreasonable.
Thank you for the link. It seems that Adalah, the Arab Centre for Minority Rights, is to be congratulated again for successfully defending Israeli democracy from the fascist overtures of its government. Perhaps you should consider a donation to them. You might consider it some sort of moral penance for all the spurious shit you've managed to spin in the course of this thread.
Meanwhile, in the four years that it has taken for that court case to reach its conclusion, the Israeli government has already bulldozed a number of Bedouin villages. And of course the growth of Jews-only settlements continues unabated. Adalah, a not-large organisation with finite resources, can't appeal against them all.
