Judaize

There is nothing in J Street’s new “bold” vision that conceives of Israel ceding land it has taken in order to “Judaize” increasing portions of Palestine.

“The intention was never to Judaize the place,” he said, claiming that Rothman has no political agenda.

Facing pressure from human rights activists, Israeli judges have been intervening in what the Jewish settlers say is a real estate quarrel and what Palestinian residents call an attempt to “Judaize” the contested city of Jerusalem and carry out ethnic cleansing against its Palestinian residents.

And now they are trying their best to also Judaize the closest neighborhoods to the Old City: in the north, Sheikh Jarrah, and in the south, Silwan.

Or the fact that settler organizations are moving into “mixed” cities within Israel proper — the very cities from which most Palestinians were made refugees 73 years ago and not allowed to return to — in a system designed to further Judaize this land.
