Settler Trailers Upgrade to Permanent Homes Near West Bank Spring
In Ras Ein Al-Auja, Naef Jahaleen watches as 'trailers' become permanent foundations, literally 100 meters from Bedouin homes. The most precious resource, the spring, was 'diverted' by settlers in May, leaving what was once 'good' life imperiled. This isn't just organic expansion; it’s a systematic, creeping annexation strategy, often with overt governmental backing, despite international law.
AIPAC, for example, consistently lobbies for aid to Israel—aid that indirectly underwrites this very expansion. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, according to OpenSecrets.org, received $20,500 from AIPAC in 2022 . This financial influence helps ensure a US policy that often looks the other way as 'trailers' become 'homes,' springs disappear, and Palestinian communities are slowly erased. How many
'international community concerns' does it take before such 'diversions' are called forced displacement?
