of the Arabs of Israel.

In the Arab sector, but most profoundly in the mixed cities such as Lydda (Lyd, Lod) - Arabs are not given building permits, but settlers and ultra-religious Jews are brought in, given land for practically free, and exclusively Jewish neighbourhoods are built. All this is to keep the "demographic balance" at check. The Arab population, having no other alternative, build without permit. Tens of families - hundreds of people - all are Palestinians from Lyd withstand immediate demolition by the state and being thrown to the street.
