The Habayta (Homeward) forum is inviting Israelis to join a WhatsApp group aimed at changing public perception of Areas A and B in Judea and Samaria. The group argues that 1.3 million dunams of land there are not refugee camps and Kasbahs, as portrayed, but are effectively under Palestinian Authority control.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Habayta (Homeward) activist forum launched a WhatsApp campaign urging Israelis to "shatter the myth" about Areas A and B in Judea and Samaria. The group claims that much of the land is open territory, not refugee camps and Kasbahs, and that 1.3 million dunams are effectively controlled by the Palestinian Authority without Israeli oversight.
The campaign follows a bulletin series by The Zioneer covering the forum's activities. An earlier report from Wednesday morning described the forum's general messaging around Areas A and B; this dispatch adds the specific WhatsApp group and call to action.
The source is the forum's own the source. The claim about 1.3 million dunams and the characterization of PA control are stated without supporting evidence or official assessment.
