On September 24th, the Israeli army confiscated 1,100 dunums of
Palestinian land to provide `transportational contiguity` by building
a Palestinian-only road through the E1 area. The settlement blocs will
be annexed to Israel with territorial contiguity, while Palestinians
must settle for a collection of tunnels and bridges that will allow
them to drive between the separate enclaves of the West Bank. These
Apartheid roads will be controlled by Israel for security reasons, and
will further divide the future `viable` Palestinian state on more
confiscated lands.
This Palestinian family is not the only one to be forced to leave
their homes. The 2,700 strong Jahalin Bedouin community is also being
driven out of the land they have lived on as refugees since they were
forced to leave the Negev desert after the Nakba. Israel plans to
displace the Bedouin onto lands belonging to the adjacent Palestinian
villages. In some cases in the past, the Bedouin were forcibly
displaced onto private properties belonging to the residents of these
communities.
