End the destruction of Bedouin villages in Israel

Join Meretz USA in helping end the destruction of Bedouin villages in Israel

Demolition of Bedouin Village

Meretz USA is co-sponsoring a petition to end the destruction of Bedouin Villages in Israel with the Jewish Alliance for Change, Rabbis for Human Rights-North America, and the Shalom Center.

As American Jews and others who care deeply for Israel, we join with many Israelis, both Jewish and Arab, in raising our voices in protest at the destruction of the Bedouin village of Al-Arakib in the Negev and the forcible removal by some 1,500 Israeli police of over 300 Bedouin Israeli citizens – mostly children – leaving them homeless, expelled from their land, and bereft of their possessions.

Over 1,000 Israelis have already signed a Hebrew petition to Prime Minister Netanyahu, to be delivered to him on August 10, calling for an end to the destruction of Bedouin villages in Israel and a just and comprehensive solution to the plight of Israel’s Bedouin Palestinian Arab citizens in the Negev. We join them in solidarity.
