Israeli forces raided Palestinian farmland in occupied Hebron with bulldozers and poured concrete into the water sources to stop agricultural irrigation in an area that serves 25 families.
Also an Israeli court ordered 500 Palestinian residents of Ras Jrabah, a village in the Negev (Naqab) that predates the establishment of the state of Israel, to evacuate in order to demolish their homes to make way for a new Israeli neighborhood.
Represented by the legal center, Adalah, the Palestinian villagers had argued that they owned and resided on the land for generations, prior to the 1970 Land Law that registered land and established state-owned real estate.
However, despite their decades of continuous residence in the area, the Beersheba Magistrate’s Court rejected the claim that the Palestinian residents have lawful authority to stay and use the land.
In addition to claiming that the evidence presented by the Palestinian families in court is insufficient and ordering them to evacuate by March 2024, the Israeli Judge Menachem Shahak also ordered them to pay 117,000 shekels ($31,630) in legal charges.
The Israel Land Authority (ILA) has plans to expand the city of Dimona by occupying the village of Ras Jrabah and turning it into a new neighborhood called Rotem.
Judge Shahak also rejected the Palestinian villagers’ request to be integrated into the new neighborhood, claiming the Israeli Bedouin Development and Settlements Authority in the Negev is the authorized body to make that decision.
However, the Israeli Bedouin Settlement Authority has only offered to relocate them to the town of Qasr Al-Sir, which belongs to other Palestinian families.
The court’s approval comes after the ILA failed in its attempt at evacuating the village 30 years ago, reported Haaretz.
Palestinian Bedouins in the Negev (Naqab) have faced the threat of forcible displacement for decades, with their land being seized and their homes leveled by Israeli occupation forces.
Adalah condemned the move as a crime of apartheid and argued that displacing the villagers to resettle them in a Bedouin town was part of a strategy of racial segregation.
Since the Nakba, the state of Israel has employed a range of tools and policies to forcibly displace the Bedouin residents in the Naqab.
Their livelihood has been confined to restricted areas and segregated townships, and they have been subjected to harsh living conditions, with no regard for their basic needs and way of life.
This is part of a system of Jewish supremacy that was constitutionally enshrined in the Jewish Nation-State Law, which priorities Jewish settlement as a value that all state bodies are mandated to promote.
Israel’s judicial system approves, time after time, the displacement of Palestinian citizens in favor of Jewish expansions, thereby advancing Israel’s colonial objectives.
The Adalah lawyers will be appealing the judge’s decision.

This is how the Jew in Palestine is advertising to bring in tourists,
He is 100% dependent on Bedouin culture, the Bedouin he despises,
the same Bedouin whose women he raped, whose people he
massacred and expelled. But it is because the Ashkenazim has no
culture of his own, none.
Straightforward Apartheid.
Straightforward EVIL way beyond Apartheid – excreta in water supply- then salt water -spraying weedkiller on fig trees and olive bushes -shooting children dead – torturing them jailing them- shooting women dead even when pregnant shouting “two for the price of one ” blowing up the fishing boats -kneecapping stone throwing teenagers with hollow point bullets -blowing up their hospitals -electric generating systems— NO !!! this isn’t just Apartheid this is total annihilation of the Palestinian nation otherwise known as HOLOCAUST !!
Really unbelievable that this could have been going on for 75 years, with the backing of the UN?
Like the American career assassins, popping pills and pulling triggers, especially the Zionist women snipers, they love to kill Palestinians, as a threat to their hostile existence?
The Lord’s Command To Conquer Canaan 50 While Israel was camped in the lowlands of Mo-ab across the Jordan River from Jericho, the Lord told Moses 51 to give the people of Israel this message: When you cross the Jordan River and enter Canaan, 52 you must force out the people living there. Destroy their idols and tear down their altars. 53 Then settle in the land—I have given it to you as your own. 55 If you don’t force out all the people there, they will be like pointed sticks in your eyes and thorns in your back. They… Read more »
