How the Jewish National Fund bluewashes Israeli apartheid

Aggressive displacement





JNF’s membership with the UN’s Department of Public Information allows it sponsor or facilitate panels and workshops at UN conferences around the world, affording it the chance to conduct bluewashing events like the one taking place tomorrow.

Blaming Palestinians

Why does Charlotte Silver hate Israel so much? As an American living in Israel for over 8 years, I see and experience something different. Israel and JNF offers their R&D, water, and help..... NOT ACCEPTED BECAUSE IT IS FROM ISRAEL.
The only way to know the truth is to see it with your own eyes


I can just see Gaza running an expensive reverse osmosis plant using Israeli technology. That fact is, as they have discovered in Australia with these plants, you can't turn them off or put them in mothballs when not required. Once they are operating, operating must be 100% on or cells need to be replaced at massive expense. So when dams overflow and the nation is in flood those plants keep on burning up energy.

This is not going to work in Gaza where the power is on and off. Nothing is going to work for Gaza until the politics of separation in Israel-Palestine is eliminated. Hamas get this. Perhaps they could tone it down a bit at times, perhaps they could be more Palestinian and not so influenced by external forces, but they get the essential concept that for life to improve the existing structures of Israeli separation must be abandoned and a single nation with uniform rights established. If there was ever a 2SS then why in 66+ years has it not surfaced?

You can't repair the Gaza Strip why simultaneously bombing it and starving it of resources. No high or low tech solutions will work in this environment. Gaza is on a one way trip to hell and that is exactly what the Israel right want. But there will be consequences, we are seeing the rise of polio virus in Gaza and contamination of the water table. The straw that breaks the camel's back is coming. It won't be neatly contained in Gaza but effect the whole region. It will be claimed as being unpredictable yet it is clear that when man fails the environment, the environment fails man.

If you want to save the Middle East then you need to separate the irrational and the rational. There is no God in governance. It is past time that people stepped up and revolved to create better outcomes for all people equally. The idea that the situation can keep to the current path is absurd.


Charlotte Silver wrote that "the JNF is not operating directly in the Palestinian territories outside the green line". This is not entirely true. It is documented that JNF acts through Himnuta in East Jerusalem and elsewhere for some deceptive land purchases, but it does not hide itself in many other instances. An example among many is the Nahal Oz reservoir, which recycles water from Maale Adumim to the benefit of four illegal settlements near the Dead Sea. It was admitedly funded by KKL France.


this article is about the backgrounds of the panel members/organizations and the video does not at all disprove these facts. too bad the introduction to the jnf is not included in the video.
