This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Misgav Regional Council''' (((lang-he|מועצה אזורית משגב|Mo'atza Azorit Misgav))) is a [[regional council (Israel)|regional council]] in the [[Galilee]] in northern [[Israel]]. The regional council is home to 27,421 people,<ref name=population2016 /><ref name=Yahad /> and comprises 35 small towns, mostly [[Community settlement (Israel)|community settlement]]s but also several [[kibbutz]]im and [[moshav]]im. The population of 29 of these is primarily [[Jew]]ish, and 6 are [[Bedouin]]. The region is noted for the way that communities and non-Jewish communities live side-by-side.

The administrative designation ''regional council'' does not imply that every town in some contiguous geographic region belongs to it. Most [[Arab-Israeli]] towns in the region are not part of the regional council, and are considered separate [[local council (Israel)|local councils]]. Neither is [[Karmiel]], a city which lies in the heart of the Misgav region but does not belong to the regional council. The population of Karmiel alone is more than twice that of the entire Misgav Regional Council.

==History==
((Unreferenced section|date=August 2007))

In the early 1970s, the [[Galilee]] region in general, including what is now the area of Misgav, was predominantly populated by [[Israeli Arab|Arab]] communities including those of [[Druze]] and [[Bedouin]] origin who were living on and farming much of the arable land. Those involved in the development of the region designated that land which was not in use as nature reserves in light of the rapid urbanization which Israel was seeing at the time. That area which was not designated as a nature reserve was planned to be a series of settlements on the Galilean hilltops - the idea of the ''[[community settlement (Israel)|mitzpeh]]'' was conceived.

''Mitzpeh'' literally means an observation point but the term has a much broader connotation. In Misgav, most of the villages are defined as community settlements whose inhabitants conduct their daily life completely independently from one another. Because, however, of the size of the communities, and because each community is fairly isolated a limited interdependence is required to maintain the normal frameworks and mutual interests of the residents. As a result, community run childcare centers, youth activities, and the maintenance of communal buildings and property tend to be run on a volunteer basis, unique to this region, and Israel in general, through an elected resident's committee in addition to

From its inception, the Misgav area attracted modern day pioneers who were willing to give up basic comforts to live in temporary and cramped quarters in order to realize a pioneering dream of a better life for themselves and their children. People from the entire spectrum of political and Jewish background arrived united by an overall goal of creating a new center of Jewish communal revival in the heart of the Galilee.

Today, Misgav can be seen in many ways as resembling a typical Israeli suburb surrounding a large city, except for the fact that it is spread out over an area of 50,000 acres (200&nbsp;km²) with a population of just 15,000 including 4,500 Bedouin Arabs. Like the suburbs, the area houses most families in detached, one-family homes surrounded by yards, and the majority of adults drive to work in the urban centers every day while the children are bused to the local schools.

There are however, certain factors that make Misgav entirely unique. Firstly, the sheer diversity of the communities is exemplary. Among the Misgav settlements there are five [[kibbutzim]], including a [[Reform Judaism]] community, a [[Conservative Judaism]] community, a mixed Orthodox-Secular community, and a strictly observant Jewish village, all of which exist peacefully and respectfully alongside each other. Misgav is also unique in its relations with its non-Jewish residents and neighbors. Five local Bedouin settlements have been absorbed by the regional council and are active members of the Misgav community, which also cooperates with the large Muslim Arab, Christian Arab, and Druze populations in the region. This cooperation can be shown by the fact that the region is the location of one of the country's first dual language (Arab-Hebrew) educational institutions, the [[Galil Jewish-Arab School]].

==Go North Program==
In the late 2000s, the Jewish charity [[Nefesh B'Nefesh]] launched its [[Go North program]]. Keeping with the organization's purpose of facilitating Jewish immigration to Israel, the program is designed to entice new immigrants and residents who have been in the country for a short time to move to several developing Jewish communities in the country's northern region.  The Misgav Regional Council is a partner in the program, whereas its towns [[Lavon, Israel|Lavon]], [[Har Halutz]], [[Moreshet]], [[Eshchar]], [[Shorashim]], [[Manof]], and [[Tal El]]<ref>[http://www.nbn.org.il/gonorth/program_options_seed.html "Go North: Garin (Seed Group)"]</ref> are listed by the organization as preferred destinations for participants.

==Controversy==
In December 2009, Haaretz reported "Jewish town won’t let Arab build home on his own land".<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1134898.html "Jewish town won’t let Arab build home on his own land"] Haaretz, 14 Dec 2009.</ref> Aadel Suad first went to the planning committee of the Misgav Local Council in 1997. Suad, an educator, sought a permit to build a home on a plot of land he owns in the community of Mitzpeh Kamon. Suad has now been fighting the committee’s red tape for 12 years to build a home on his own land. He and his family are convinced there is only one reason for the refusal, the local council doesn’t want Arabs. 

Misgav's planning policy has been in the news before. In 2005 Ali Zbeidat, an Israeli Arab, and his Dutch wife Terese and their two teenage daughters, Dina and Awda, were threatened with demolition of their home, built on land belonging to his family for decades and physically located inside the Arab town of [[Sakhnin]].<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/aug/16/worldcupfootball2002.sport "now we don't have room for gardens or new homes," Guardian, 16 August 2004.]</ref><ref>[http://www.jkcook.net/Articles2/0225.htm "Not prepared to concede one metre"] Electronic Intifada, 17 May 2005.</ref>
