Land for peace

Once again, Israel is willing to give up peace for a little more land.

Meanwhile, within Israel proper, the destruction of Bedouin villages and the displacement of its inhabitants continues, in this case to make way for a reforestation project sponsored by the Jewish National Fund.


Warning: the use of terms such as "ethnic cleansing" and "apartheid" is to be avoided, as they are considered to be examples of "the new anti-Semitism™."
Please employ "urban renewal" and "reclamation initiative," respectively.

UPDATE: (October 16) Just another day on the West Bank. Might I suggest the term "deforestation" in this instance? [H/t Alison]
