Unfortunately, your analogy is a little off.Lest try something. Go put a tent in the middle of nowhere in an open field near your house. Bring some cows, ship, built a collapsing babin and bring your family and friends. Then demand that you want to creat a new city in there.
Lest see if they let you stay.
sure, it's the Israelis that are the problem.
You people just CAN'T be REAL
80,000 people don't normally "roam" like nomads. So your anecdote about the Bedouins history, is full of shit! These people had homes that were taken from them.
This is why Israel is so fucked. You're taking other peoples land to build your bullshit condo's. I think the UN should authorize military force against Israel. Russia, China and the US should all donate a mechanized division each to go over to the OPT and drive you god-damn Israeli's back to Israel. Maybe a good ass-whipping is the only thing you people understand.in the south for the Negev Bedouins who comprise half the area's 160,000 population. They live in villages called "unrecognized" because their inhabitants had to flee their homes during Israel's War of Independence, couldn't return when it ended, and are considered internal refugees and "trespassers" on Jewish land.
These villages were delegitimized by Israel's 1965 Planning and Construction Law that established a regulatory framework and national future development plan. It zoned land for residential, agriculture and industrial use, forbade unlicensed construction, banned it on agricultural land, and stipulated where Israeli Jews and Palestinians could live.
Existing communities are circumscribed on a map with blue lines around them. Areas inside can be developed. Those outside cannot. Great latitude is shown Jewish communities, so new ones are added. In contrast, Palestinian areas are severely constricted with no allowed room for expansion. Their land was reclassified as agricultural meaning no new construction is allowed. It means entire communities are "unrecognized" and all homes and buildings there are illegal, even the 95% of them built before the 1965 law passed. They're subject to demolition and their inhabitants displaced at Israel's discretion. It's so new land for Jews can be provided with Arab owners helpless to stop it.
As a result, no new Palestinian communities are allowed, and existing "unrecognized villages" are denied essential services like clean drinking water, electricity, roads, transport, sanitation, education, healthcare, postal service, telephone connections, refuse removal and more because under the Planning and Construction Law they're illegal. The toll on people is devastating:
-- clean water is unavailable almost everywhere unless people have access to well water;
-- the few available health services are inadequate;
-- many homes have no bathrooms, and no permits are allowed to build them;
-- only villages with private generators have electricity that's barely enough for lighting;
-- no village is connected to the main road network,
-- some villages are fenced in prohibiting their residents from access to their traditional lands; and
-- education is limited, achievement levels are low, and dropout rates high.
It's worse still when home demolitions are ordered. It may stipulate Palestinians must do it themselves or be fined for contempt of court and face up to a year in prison. They may also have to cover the cost when Israelis do it under a system of convoluted justice penalizing Palestinians twice over for being an Arab in a Jewish state.
In 2007, around 200 Bedouin homes were demolished, compared to much lower numbers in previous years: 23 in 2002, 63 in 2003, 15 in 2005 and 96 in 2006. Most of the homeless are "invisible," the media hardly covers them, Jews are largely uninformed, and planned Negev Judaization assures things will get worse. It's to be a "A Miracle in the Desert" with a clearly defined aim - to populate the area with a half million Jews in the next decade. Plans are for 25 new communities and 100,000 homes on cleared Bedouin land. Unless efforts coalesce to stop them, the human toll will be horrific.
