The Jewish National Fund is holding is annual Negev fund-raising dinner at Canada's Museum of Civilization next Monday, Nov. 24. Yhe JNF is an organization committed to and implicated in the ethniccleansing of Palestine.

About 500,000 of the 625,000 acres of land owned by the JNF were confiscated from Palestinians fleeing war in 1948, and were not purchased with contributions from Jews around the world as the JNF claims. Before 1953, Israel transferred ownership of this land to the JNF for the sole use of Jews.

 "Canada Park," which is maintained through JNF-Canada contributions, is built on the site of three Palestinian villages captured in 1967, whose 10,000 peaceful residents were expelled and all their homes razed to the ground.

The JNF is raising money for the  development of the 'Negev'. The purpose of this money is to complete the dispossession of the Negev's Bedouins. The money will go to Jewish only settlements.

This is what "Negev Development" funded by the JNF looks like in Khashm Zanna, an unrecognized Bedouin village in the Negev.
