POPSArab lands STOLEN by JNF: Israeli Professor Jeremiah (Jerry) Haber is the nom de plume of an orthodox Jewish studies professor based in Israel. Why do I write under a pseudonym? Not because I am afraid of being hounded, like Norman Finkelstein -- thank God, I have tenure. But because I want to keep my academic persona and my polemical persona distinct. Writing under a pseudonyn allows me to be more "unbuttoned."

From this press release, which purports to justify the bogus land sale, we see how the JNF and Israel stole the land from the Arabs.

POPSLine is Crossed: A RACIST JEWISH State: Haaretz
This bill reflects an abasement of the Zionist enterprise to lows never imagined in the Declaration of Independence. Even though the Jewish National Fund purchased the lands for the Jewish people in the Diaspora, the State of Israel has already been established and these lands must now serve all its citizens. The Jewish National Fund's land policy counters the interests of the state and cannot discriminate by law against the minority living in Israel. The clause in the bill stating that "the leasing of JNF lands for the purpose of settling Jews will not be seen as unacceptable discrimination," even though it involves 13 percent of state-controlled lands and allows for further expressions of discrimination. For example, the establishment of a university only for Jews on JNF land, or a hospital, or a movie theater. If it was not for the Supreme Court's ruling in the Ka'adan case, it would have been possible also to reject non-Jewish candidates from Russia. The Ka'adan ruling

POPSNew Laws in "racist Jewish state" even more Apartheid Today, the state has nationalised 80% of land inside Israel, and the JNF holds another 13%. Neither sells land to private owners on the grounds that it is being held in trust for worldwide Jewry. Instead, they offer long-term leases on the land in their possession. The JNF has far more power than the division of land suggests, however: its 13% share is reported to include some 70% of the country's inhabited land; it effectively controls a government body known as the Israel Lands Authority that manages the 93% of land owned by the state and the JNF; and it dominates committees set up to vet applicants to hundreds of rural communities. Because the JNF charter forbids it from selling or leasing land to non-Jews, this arrangement has allowed the JNF to discriminate against Arab citizens on behalf of the government. The JNF's control of the Israel Lands Authority and the vetting committees has ensured that Arab citizens are excluded from most of the 93% of nationalised land.
