JNF's Response to Save the Negev

This page had the full letter sent out by the JNF in response to queries about Blueprint Negev, along with our commentary. Perhaps more important than JNF's public response, however, is the fact that they invited us to meet with them. While there is much to critique about what JNF wrote in that letter, it is completely superseded by our current dialogue. In deference to that process, we've decided to move the page off the public part of this site. We anticipate posting a new and positive JNF letter which constructively addresses the issues we've raised.

Important note: SavetheNegev originally claimed that the JNF-US was involved with and supportive of the demolition of A-tir and Um al-Hiran, based on articles published by ICAHD. However, all the subsequent research we have done has shown that JNF-US is NOT involved with these projects. We are currently examining whether KKL in Israel is involved with Yatir and Hiran separately from JNF-US.

Again, when the new JNF response becomes available, we will post it here.

Thanks for caring enough to look through this site.
