IN ISRAEL TOO, Palestine 1947-1997: From Partition Plan to Allon Plus By Joseph Algazy reprinted from Le Monde Diplomatique, September 1997
The land grab is not just taking place in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. It is continuing in Israel too. Wholesale confiscation has always been the name of the game in the Galilee and it still affects the Bedouin of the Negev. With 92% of the land in the hands of state bodies, a debate has now begun over privatisation. But there is no question of land passing into non-Jewish hands.

Jewish National Fund in Response to Adalah Petition: We Act for the Benefit of the Jewish People Only and Not for the General Public in Israel" reprinted from ADALAH'S NEWSLETTER , Volume 8, December 2004
On 9 December 2004, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) responded to two petitions submitted by Adalah and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) to the Supreme Court in October 2004, against the Israel Lands Administration (ILA), the JNF and others. In its petition, Adalah demanded that the Court cancel an ILA policy and a regulation, both of which prevent Arab citizens of Israel from bidding in tenders for the allocation of JNF-owned lands. The petition argued that the ILA's policy is incompatible with the principle of equality, as it discriminates on the basis of nationality. more...
