Palestinians call this region Al-Naqab. The population of this vast area consists of over 200,000 historically nomadic Bedouins, just over half of which are crammed into the seven government-built Bedouin-only towns; the remaining 90,000 live in 46 villages â 35 of which are still unrecognized by the Israeli government which controls the entire area. We Hear from Palestinians confronting Jewish National Fund (JNF) terror and Zionist colonialism to save Al-Naqab. Speakers Raafat Abu Aish and Laila Alsana, both Palestinians from al-Naqab, spoke about the JNFâs colonial policies and the ongoing Nakba throughout Palestine â as well as the ongoing resistance. Todayâs forum is sponsored by the Palestinian Human Rights organization, Al-Awda.
