Publisher Description

Independent As a community, we are responsible for actions of our own and of the Jewish state. One sin that stands out for me is our ever-continuing campaigns in Israel of displacing Bedouins, destroying their homes and mosques, forcing many of them into urban cultures where they slowly deteriorate and replacing their traditional living and grazing spaces with new developments and infrastructures. The Bedouins are loyal to the State of Israel, and some even serve in the Israeli army, but they continue to be treated unfairly, in opposition to the most basic values of Judaism: "When a stranger [non-Jew] lives amongst you, you shall not mistreat him: like one of the natives of your own people shall he be to you, the stranger who dwells in your midst, and you shall love him like yourself (Leviticus 19:33-34); "one law shall there be, equally for you and for the stranger who dwells amongst you" (Exodus 12:49, 22:20 and 23:9; Deuteronomy 24:22). We were long ago instructed to make sure that the stranger who dwells amongst us has a piece of land to live on and prosper from, as it is written in Ezekiel: "And you shall divide up this land amongst all of you ... and also to the strangers [the non-Jews] who sojourn amongst you and who have borne children amongst you, and they shall be to you like native citizens amid the Children of Israel ... and it shall be that within whichever [Jewish] tribal land that the stranger is living, it is therein that you should give to him his portion, says God."
