Israel is Forcing Out Palestine’s Watermelon Farmers Before It Takes Their Land

• Israel is Forcing Out Palestine’s Watermelon Farmers Before It Takes Their Land

  For Palestinian Murad Sartawi, the watermelon is symbolic for its colours: red, green, black and white, resemble those of the flag of his country.
  –
  Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and in the northern Jordan Valley produced around 100,000 tonnes of watermelons each year in the 1980s, but this figure has steadily declined to 13,000 tonnes this year. Making up just a quarter of the annual domestic demand for watermelons, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
  –
  The reduction of land available for cultivation represents the suffering of Palestinian farmers under Israeli occupation and the unjust distribution of water in the occupied territories.
  –
  Now, the Israeli occupation authority is planning to annex the Jordan Valley, leaving watermelon famers with an uncertain future and with no recourse to protection from the Palestinian government.
  –
  For decades, Israel has confiscated land owned by Palestinian farmers and allocated it to illegal settlers and deprived the remaining Palestinians of access to water, which is pumped without limits – and for free – to settlers.
  –
  Sleiman Sawafta is one of those small-scale Palestinian farmers who planted about 60 dunums (15 acres) of watermelon in the village of Bardala in the northern Jordan Valley, but didn’t harvest most of it, losing 150 tonnes of the crop.
  –
  All the watermelons ripened, but I couldn’t find the boxes to package them in because all the boxes were reserved for the Israeli watermelon which floods the local market he explains.
  –
  Low prices
  Watermelons are harvested in mid-May, during this time the crops’ price drops as the West Bank market is flooded by second-grade Israeli produce. Israel’s best watermelons are reserved for the Israeli market and not sold in the occupied territories.
  –
  “Most of our watermelons remained in the fields, very few went to the market. It was estimated that the price per kilo was three shekels [$0.87], but the price suddenly fell to about one shekel [$0.29] only,” Suleiman explains.

• “In 2001, Dr. Ariella Oppenheim, of Hebrew University, a biologist, published the first extensive study of DNA and the origin of the Jews. Her research found that virtually all the Jews came from Khazar blood. Not only that but Oppenheim discovered that the Palestinians—the very people whom the Jews had been persecuting and ejecting from Israel’s land since 1948—had more Israelite blood than did the Jews. In sum, the vast majority of the Jews were not Jews; some of the Palestinians were. Some of the Palestinians even had a DNA chromosome which established that they were “Cohens”—workers at the ancient Temple and synagogues of the Jews.” – Quote

• Mr. Benjamin Freedman, a Jewish industrialist born in New York, wrote in the Economic Council Letter published there of October 15 1947: “These Eastern European Jews have neither a racial nor a historic connection with Palestine. Their ancestors were not inhabitants of the Promised Land. They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom. The Khazars were a non-Semitic, Turko-Mongolian tribe.” Mr. Freedman was challenged, unwisely, by a Zionist objector; he invited his challenger to go with him to the Jewish room of the New York Public Library. There they could together examine the Jewish Encyclopedia volume I pp. 1-12, and the published works of Graetz, Dubnow, Friedlander, Raisin and many other noted Jewish historians, which, as well as other non-Jewish authorities, “establish the fact beyond all possible doubt”.’
