A call for action: Stop the Prawer Plan!
06/08/2013 - 07:36
On the 24th June the Israeli Knesset narrowly approved the first reading of the racist and discriminatory Prawer-Begin Bill, paving the way for its second and third readings which the Israeli government hopes to push through parliament before the end of the month.
The Prawer Plan represents the largest single attempt at the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians since the Nakba, targeting the original Arab Palestinian Bedouin citizens of the southern Naqab region who are already the poorest and most marginalised sector of the population, many of whom live in villages unrecognised by the government and who are denied basic services such as electricity, schools and healthcare. The Prawer Plan aims to provide legislation to:
· * confiscate around 850,000 dunums of land in the Naqab desert
· * expel over 30,000 Palestinian Bedouins
· * demolish about 40 unrecognized villages
· * confine the arab Palestinian Bedouins who are 30% of the Naqab in to 1% of the land
please feel free to circulate this call.
