The Israeli Occupation Forces destroyed the villages and forcibly displaced their inhabitants during the 1967 Six-Day War. The ongoing presence of Canada Park on these lands continues to erase Palestinian history and dispossess displaced families of their rightful land.
This lawsuit aims to hold JNF Canada and the Israeli occupation accountable for funding and profiting from the ongoing dispossession of Palestinian families and the erasure of their cultural heritage. We believe this case is crucial in the fight for justice and accountability in Palestine.
The Story of Imwas, Yalu, and Beit Nuba:
In 1967, following the Israeli military’s occupation of the West Bank, Imwas, Yalu, and Beit Nuba, three Palestinian villages, were ethnically cleansed. The people were forced from their homes with no compensation or return. Their lands, homes, and the rich history of their communities were stolen and lost. These villages were then erased, and Canada Park was built on their ruins, funded by JNF and the Canadian government.
These communities were never compensated, and many families are still in exile today, with their right to return denied.
Why We Need Your Help:
This case is not just about challenging an organization; it's about demanding accountability for violations of international law and ensuring that Palestinian voices are heard. By suing JNF Canada, we seek to:
- Highlight the historical injustices suffered by the people of Imwas, Yalu, and Beit Nuba due to the Israeli occupation.
- Hold JNF Canada accountable for its role in the ongoing displacement of Palestinians.
- Raise awareness of the broader issues of land confiscation and Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine.
- Reclaim the narrative, ensuring that Palestinian history is acknowledged and respected.
