Financing Racism and Apartheid
Jewish National Fund's Violation of International and Domestic Law

Synopsis
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a multi-national corporation with offices
in about dozen countries world-wide. It receives millions of dollars from
wealthy and ordinary Jews around the world and other donors, most of which
are tax-exempt contributions. JNF aim is to acquire and develop lands
exclusively for the benefit of Jews residing in Israel.
The fact is that JNF, in its operations in Israel, had expropriated
illegally most of the land of 372 Palestinian villages which had been
ethnically cleansed by Zionist forces in 1948. The owners of this land are
over half the UN-registered Palestinian refugees. JNF had actively
participated in the physical destruction of many villages, in evacuating
these villages of their inhabitants and in military operations to conquer
these villages. Today JNF controls over 2500 sq.km of Palestinian land
which it leases to Jews only. It also planted 100 parks on Palestinian
land.
In addition, JNF has a long record of discrimination against Palestinian
citizens of Israel as reported by the UN. JNF also extends its operations
by proxy or directly to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the West
Bank and Gaza. All this is in clear violation of international law and
particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention which forbids confiscation of
property and settling the Occupiers' citizens in occupied territories.
Ethnic cleansing, expropriation of property and destruction of houses are
war crimes. As well, use of tax-exempt donations in these activities
violates the domestic law in many countries, where JNF is domiciled.
This report compiles the facts about JNF activities, supported by new maps
and tables detailing JNF violations of international and domestic law. In
particular, the maps and tables show the location of the land expropriated
by JNF and the names of the affected villages whose inhabitants are now
refugees. It is now possible to identify the names of the Palestinian
families who are victims of JNF seizure of their land and the refugee camps
where they are exiled.
Activists, lawyers, human rights workers and Palestinian victims should be
in a position to put a case against JNF for war crimes, violation of the
Fourth Geneva Convention, discrimination against Palestinian citizens of
Israel, and violation of domestic laws in the misuse of "charity" status and
tax-exempt funds.
With compliments

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
