On May 31, 2012, the Jewish National Fund JNF Pacific Region will beholding an evening to support their 2012 project - the "Arava Peace Route". Similar to the mockery that is Canada Park, the JNF is publicly claiming to be enhancing the environment and supporting a "peace route", while *ethnically cleansing* the Palestinian Bedouins from the same Negev region where their "peace route" will "enhance access to and from farmers fields .. (and) will improve security". The Bedouin village of Al Araqib in the Negev has been destroyed 37 times by Israeli and JNF paramilitary forces, but the Palestinians of the village refuse to surrender, many of them returning time and time again to rebuild (more info at Stop the JNF Campaign <http://www.stopthejnf.org>).

The JNF uses language like "pioneering" and "security" and "100% Israel" in its publicity for the event. And equally fitting is the guest speaker that JNF Pacific Region is highlighting for the evening:- Dennis Prager from the U.S., who is a close associate of Christian Zionist leader John Hagee and his organization, Christians United for Israel.

Canada Palestine Association <http://www.cpavancouver.org/> is calling on all our supporters to join us and add their voices in telling the JNF that green-washing *apartheid* is no longer acceptable.
