Israeli Arabs struggle for land...

After Israel's housing minister called on Jews to move to the north of the country to stop what he described as "the spread of Arabs" there, the BBC's Katya Adler reports on the struggle for land in the area.

Sami Salameh has taken me to what used to be his home before the Israeli authorities flattened it. 

Metal rods and slices of skirting board are all that's left, among an expanse of sun-scorched wild grass. 

He has brought along some photographs and kicks the earth as he shows them to me. The wiry 65-year-old man is angry and emotional. More...

Don't miss:

  1. No more "nakba" in Arab textbooks in Israel...
  2. Palestinian girl talks about the camps and the Israelis...
  3. “The Arabs are beasts and asses,” says Rabbi...
  4. Fanatical Jews spew hatred at ABC reporter in Jerusalem...
