| What`s so special about one Israeli TV personality`s racism? | | Rawia Aburabia - Haaretz - It’s not only shepherds or farmers who live
in the unrecognized villages. Doctors, lawyers and teachers live there
too. They know very well what is happening around them. They see how
many communities the Jews have established around them, with admissions
committees to make sure that no Arab will ever be able to live there.
They know that the few farms that prosper, with their cheese and wine
and eco-tourism, exist only because the Israel Lands Administration
prefers to give out land for free as long as the recipients are Jews.
They know that the unrecognized Bedouin villages are several times more
crowded than the Jewish communities, and yet the government prefers to
establish new Jewish communities rather than recognize the existing
Bedouin ones. bz | 30/4/2013 |

| Whose land is it anyway? | | D.H. | TEL AVIV -
The Economist
"Published by an Israeli NGO called Zochrot (which means “remembering” in Hebrew) the guidebook offers maps, tips, and tours through 18 areas of Israel where Palestinian villages once stood. Written in Hebrew with an Arabic translation alongside it, the guidebook, according to its editors, is an acknowledgment of the Nakba (catastrophe) that befell Palestinians after 1948 when they were driven out of, or fled from, their homes. Purged of most of their Arab inhabitants, only ruins and remnants of these former communities peak out from the ground or appear behind trees and along trails." ca | 19/4/2013 |

Yet by never actually being realized, Orlow’s Unmade Film reconstructs a narrative of space, time and historical blind-spots that adds layers of unsettled new meaning to questions of subconscious pain, trauma and suffering in the contexts of obliterated geo-histories." ca | 19/4/2013 |
