Regavim (רגבים) is an Israeli NGO that describes its mission as “to ensure responsible, legal, accountable & environmentally friendly use of Israel’s national lands and the return of the rule of law to all areas and aspects of the land and its preservation”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Regavim // Regavim )〕 According to Nicola Perugini and others, the word 'land' here refers to 'Jewish national land,'〔 and by that term Regavim understands the entirety of Israel and the Palestinian territories it occupies, in which Palestinian habitation is considered an illegal takeover.〔Nicola Perugini and Kareem Rabie, 'Human Right to the Colony,' in Tammaso Sbriccoli,Stefano Jacoviello, (''Shifting Borders: European Perspectives on Creolisation,'' ) Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012,p.47〕 It was founded in 2006 by Yehuda Eliahu and Bezalel Smotrich〔Charlotte Alfred ('Settler group patrols West Bank for demolition targets,' ) Ma'an News Agency9 May 9, 2012.〕 as "response to a Supreme Court case against the illegal outpost of Harasha in Samaria" initiated by Peace Now in 2005.〔 Regavim focuses most intensely on construction work in the Galilee, Negev, and the West Bank which has been done by Israeli Arabs and Palestinians without Israeli permits.〔 Regavim's objectives converge with those of Israeli settlers, with whom the group maintains close institutional ties.〔Nicola Perugini and Kareem Rabie, 'Human Right to the Colony,' in Tammaso Sbriccoli,Stefano Jacoviello, (''Shifting Borders: European Perspectives on Creolisation,'' ) Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012 pp.35-55 p.48〕 Regavim is financed by public funds from West Bank local settlement councils and from the settler organization Amana. Neve Gordon describes Regavim as a 'settler-colonial NGO' and denounces its "strategy of mirroring" in picturing Palestinian villages as "outposts" or Palestinian presence in the West Bank as a "kind of illegal occupation".〔Nicola Perugini, Neve Gordon, (''The Human Right to Dominate,'' ) Oxford University Press, 2015, p. (116 )〕 Critics argue that Regavim aims to 'try to force the state to speed up and increase the execution of home demolition orders and forced relocations of non-Jews, be they of Palestinians in the West Bank or Bedouin in the Negev.'〔Ilene Prusher, ( The Susya: Next Outrage in the Israeli-Palestinian Dance of Build-and-destroy,' ) Haaretz 4 August 2015〕 According to Peter Beaumont, 'Regavim describes its mission as using the courts "to protect national lands and properties and prevent foreign elements from taking over the countries () territorial resources"', and pursues cases in of areas〔Kirbet Susiya according to Beaumont〕 not in Israel but in the occupied Palestinian territories. ==Origins== It was founded in 2006 as a settler-rights NGO.〔Nicola Perugini, Neve Gordon, ''The Human Right to Dominate,'' p. (112 )〕 Regavim's objectives converge with those of Israeli settlers, with whom the group maintains close institutional ties.〔 The purpose was to counteract what its founders considered to be the improper use by 'liberal' NGOs to 'subvert' Israeli democracy by using the legal system to pursue advocacy of human rights when the left failed to achieve electoral success. According to Dror Etges, former Director of the Peace Now program, Settlement Watch, Regavim was not only conceived as a response to the work of anti-settlement NGOs, it was modeled directly on Settlement Watch and Yesh Din. This recourse to rights advocacy is dismissed as 'undemocratic lawfare' by Neve Gordon.〔Nicola Perugini, Neve Gordon, ''The Human Right to Dominate,'' pp. (109 )-110〕 According to Neve Gordon and Nicola Perugini, settler rights NGOs like Regavim turn the relationship of oppressed and oppressor on its head, in transforming dispossession as a human right.〔Nicola Perugini, Neve Gordon, ''The Human Right to Dominate,'' pp. (112 ), 116: 'Within this context of convergence and mirroring, settler colonial NGOs like Regavim invert the historical asymmetry in which they operate and produce the frfamework of justice they rely on. The inversion -such as the indigenous being transformed into a settler and vice versa-is a political product of the mirroring . . .In the human rights struggles waged by settler NGOs, mirroring becomes inverting.: Jewish settlements become Palestinian settlements; "illegal Jewish construction" becomes "illegal Palestinian construction"; Palestinian villages become "Palestinian outposts," transforming Palestinian presence and existence into a kind of illegal occupation. Human rights become a weapon for further indigenous displacement.'〕 Regavim is financed by public funds from West Bank local settlement councils, and according to the last available public statement of accounts, received more than 2 million shekels ($550,000) of funding in 2010, a sixfold rise over 2008.〔 Regavim also receives funds from the settler-organization Amana. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Regavim (NGO)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
