Fact Sheet: What is the Jewish National Fund?

Information on the Jewish National Fund (JNF), an organization that presents itself as a charity in places like Canada* and the United States, despite its role in the systematic dispossession and displacement of Palestinians. The JNF played an instrumental role in Zionist settlement of Palestine prior to the Nakba, appropriating ethnically cleansed Palestinian lands in the 1948 Nakba. It continues to further Israeli expansionism and land theft today.
