The JNF is currently working on 300 dunams of land belonging to a family from the Negev Bedouin village of Awajan. When the JNF suddenly appeared last week, the family asked for an order or some sort of written authorization/explanation. The Yoav unit (police unit whose job it is to enforce planning and construction in the Negev) accompanying the JNF rudely told the family to “go complain to the courts.”
These pictures, taken by Rabbi Ascherman during a visit on June 28th 2015, show the land the JNF has already managed to dig up, and the nearby shelter for tractors with the JNF logo. The picture from the car of planted trees is from nearby land the JNF has already worked.
