FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda More than 50 renowned British public figures, including high-profile artists, musicians and writers have signed a letter to protest Israel’s plan to expel 70,000 of Bedouins from the Negev Desert by destroying their villages in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The destruction of villages means “the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes and land, and systematic discrimination and separation,” the letter said.
David Calder, an English actor and one of the letter’s signatories, said, “Israel not only practices apartheid against the Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories, but it seems they have no hesitation in practicing apartheid on their own citizens – in this instance, the Bedouins. When is the west going to find these actions intolerable?”
The signatories also called on the British government to demand that Israel comply with international human rights law and obligations.
The letter, published in The Guardian is part of a day of protest on Saturday in more than two dozen countries over an Israeli parliamentary bill to approve the eviction by the year-end.
The bill, known as “Prawer law,” threatens to wipe up to 40 Bedouin villages off the map of the occupied territories; a move which will pave the way for illegal construction of new settler units in the historic desert.
Israel has long denied basic services to the Bedouins, whose voting and land rights have never been recognized.
Now, by the new law, the population of these villages will be removed to designated towns.
The United Nations (UN) has censured Tel Aviv’s plan to uproot the villages as racist. The European Parliament also called on Israel to withdraw it.
Adalah legal center, which promotes the legal rights of Israel’s Arab minority, said the real purpose of the legislation is “the complete and final severance of the Bedouin’s historical ties to their land.”
