Report: 40,000 Bedouin will be evicted from homes under Prawer Plan | +972 Magazine

Knesset Internal Affairs Committee chairperson MK Miri Regev revealed details of a secret document prepared in the Prime Minister’s Office about the implementation of the Prawer Plan for the resettlement of the Negev Bedouins, Yedioth Ahronoth reported this weekend.

According to a map obtained by MK Regev, the state will take over 250,000 dunams (61,700 acres) currently populated by Bedouins, while the Bedouins will receive 170,000 dunams (42,000 acres). Around 40,000 people will have to leave their homes.

Israel never recognized its Bedouin citizens’ land claims or ownership rights. In the years following the 1948 war, The Bedouin were expelled from the western part of the Negev (Israel’s southern desert); later, most of the population was transferred to seven townships that Israel planned and built for them. The remaining Bedouin villages were deprived of infrastructure such as schools, running water and electricity. Almost 100,000 people live such unrecognized villages today.

Meanwhile, criticism of the plan on the Israeli Right and among settlers is also gaining momentum. On Friday, Israeli daily Ma’ariv claimed that ministers Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Liberman agreed to prevent the Prawer Plan from passing the second and third rounds of voting in the Knesset, claiming that the Bedouin “lost” their rights to the benefits included in the plans due to recent protests against it.

Hilarious! People need to read again and undertand the implications in the above quote from 2 israeli ministers...

" Bedouin “lost” their rights to the benefits included in the plans due to recent protests against it."

This is how many zionists think..."If you don't like the pole we're sticking up your ass we'll just have to get you a bigger one! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW! THAT'LL TEACH YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PROTEST! NOBODY QUESTIONS THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ-ENSTEIN!"

This Plan is not going to be passed.

That is what I am reading out of the articles from Peace Now this morning.

I think all the Protests are working.
