Removing Borders, Erasing Palestinians: Israeli Population Maps After 1967

To give just one example, despite paying Israeli taxes for decades, Diana Kurd, a Palestinian widow from Anata, was stripped of her pension because her deceased husband had slept on the wrong side of their bed.

I found this so unbelievable that I had to confirm. It's not clear how big a role the sleeping position played in the courts decision, but other than that the story seems true:

Israel truly is an apartheid state. And will continue to be one as long as it has the US blessing.

Preach! We, as tax payers, like it or not all of us have blood on our hands and it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach but I genuinely don’t know any other way.

This article keeps getting flagged, so I figured I should leave a comment as the OP (full disclosure: I work for MIT Press, who published the book from which the article is excerpted):

I should have recognized that this may be too contentious a topic for this forum (or any open online forum), but I urge you give it a read. I learned a lot from it. It offers important historical context and is a good reminder that science is always political. The piece is a deep dive that draws on years of academic research; it's not an opinion essay, but a rigorous study of Israeli population cartography, under the direction of renowned statistician and geographer Roberto Bachi.
