 | | In the petition, filed in October 2004 against the ILA, JNF and others, Adalah argued that the ILA's policy is incompatible with the principle of equality, discriminates against the Palestinian minority in Israel on the basis of nationality, and will lead to the further creation of racially-segregated, Jewish-only areas if it is not cancelled. |
 | | Adalah Attorney Suhad Bishara, who filed the petition, said that, "On the one hand, the decision is positive, since the AG concurred with Adalah's argument that the ILA's policy of marketing and allocating JNF-owned lands through Jewish-only bids is discriminatory. |
 | | As the JNF declared in response to Adalah's petition and a further petition filed against the ILA's policy by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, its loyalty is only to the Jewish people and not the general public in Israel, and it operates only for the benefit of Jewish citizens. |
