Of course Israel is lying (nothing new here) about wanting to supply services. They just want to steal the land.Why don't we take all of the auto mechanics and move them to a city that has no cars?They want to take farmers and rancher out of their means of livelihood and move them into urban centers.They do not want to live in ready-made communities.
And do you think that is unethnical? Why or why not? What solutions do you propose?
Are you arguing that Israel should attempt to preserve their nomadic way of life?
How do you propose we do that? Do we just assign a large swath of desert and say -- "Here you go"? Is that not just putting them on a reservation? What happens when their population gets so large that the land can no longer sustain them? Or if their population gets so large that they are in constant conflict with the neighboring tribes? How do we address their need for water and electricity and sanitation? For education and medical care? Does providing those services ruin their nomadic way of life? If we provide these services for them in central locations, doesn't that just "urbanize" them? But it would be inhumane to deny them these services, yes?
