BIR HADAJ, southern Israel Five months of government campaigning to vaccinate Israeli citizens against the coronavirus have left little trace in the southern Bedouin town of Bir Hadaj.
Bir Hadaj has the dismal honor of being the country’s least-vaccinated municipality. Just 2 percent of the town’s 2,000-odd residents are vaccinated; in the median Israeli city, some 56% of total residents are immunized.
“There are people here who would rather die than be vaccinated,” said Salim Denfiri, a Bir Hadaj resident.
Denfiri says he decided to get immunized. But when he tried to convince his nearly 100-year-old mother, she asked him if he was trying to “finish her off,” he said.

If you’re looking for examples of spin in B’tselem’s latest anti-Israel document, in which the organization slings around the inflammatory terms “apartheid” and “Jewish supremacy,” there are plenty.
Consider, as one small example, the report’s charge that Israel has built “hundreds of communities for Jewish citizens – yet not a single one for Palestinian citizens.” The sentence was written to sound as damning as possible, which increases its shock value, but also left the authors in the uncomfortable position of having to immediately rebut their own falsehood. “The exception,” B’tselem admits in the very next sentence, “is a handful of towns and villages built to concentrate the Bedouin population.”
