exclusively Jewish space. The policy is executed on the macro level by denying freedom of movement within the occupied Palestinian territory, Israel and the Shatat (exile communities), and on the micro level by sub-dividing locales into neighborhoods, suburbs and restricted areas. Denial of natural resources and access to services: Paper Number Six will deal with the denial of natural resources, focusing on the access to water. Israel seeks to control the fresh water sources through military and political mechanisms. In the case of the West Bank, Israel controls the drilling in the largest underground water reserves, prohibits Palestinian use of wells and establishes settlements (colonies) in the occupied Palestinian territory with privileged access to fresh water. In the case of the Gaza Strip, Israel denies access to fresh water that includes intentional destruction of purification facilities and contamination of coastal aquifers and public plumbing infrastructure. Denial of refugee return: Paper Number Seven will analyze the denial of Palestinian refugees’ right to return and citizenship. This legally and militarily enforced policy constitutes a violation of Palestinian individual and collective rights. Suppression of resistance: Paper Number Eight examines Israel’s suppression of resistance. The policy includes systematic and mass incarceration, torture and the suppression of the freedom of expression and assembly, as well as criminalizing acts of civil opposition or disobedience. Non-state actions (with the implicit consent of the Israeli state): Paper Number Nine will detail the epidemic of Jewish-Israeli civilian violence against Palestinians and property, and their impunity. The policy includes the discretionary power of parastatal organizations such as the Jewish National Fund and its ideological role for the Israeli state. Israel executes the nine policies through the use of military force and police, legislation and court rulings, and de facto state actions carried out by private individuals or institutions with the State’s consent. 31
