Join the struggle to support Umm el Hiran

You might consider joining Adalah in leading a public campaign to stop Israel’s plan to demolish an Arab Bedouin village in order to build a Jewish town over its ruins.

Adalah (“Justice” in Arabic) is an independent human rights organization and legal center. Established in November 1996, it works to promote and defend the rights of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, 1.2 million people, or 20% of the population, as well as Palestinians living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).

All of us abroad need to show Israel that we are watching the situation.

Some sources:

For evidence of the racially discriminatory treatment of the Bedouin Israeli citizens by their own state, see for example:

• Testimonies where Bedouin describe the discrimination they face;
• Photographs comparing the provisions for Bedouin villages with those of Jewish villages;
• Negev Coexistence Forum website
• Negev villages map and facts.
