denial of use are also intrinsically connected to other policies of forcible transfer such as discriminatory zoning and planning, as well as the permit regime.207 While the mechanisms described above show how Israel’s land confiscation and denial of use policy adapts and evolves, the goal remains consistent. These discriminatory laws and practices are designed to ensure that Palestinians are forced out and replaced by Jewish-Israelis. The policy of land confiscation and denial of use leads to both forced displacement of Palestinians inside Israel or to the forcible transfer of Palestinians inside the oPt. As it has been noted in the introduction of this series of Working Papers,208 the mere presence of legislation and legal mechanisms is insufficient to tackle the long-recognized human catastrophe of forced population transfer. The political will to ensure they are deployed consistently is necessary in order to ensure that the fundamental rights of vulnerable communities and groups are protected. 207 See BADIL’s working paper series on Forced Population Transfer: The Case of Palestine. 208 See BADIL, Introduction, in Forced Population Transfer: The Case of Palestine, March 2014. 75
