Land grab: Israeli govt backs bill to forcibly relocate up to 40,000 Bedouin villagers

rt.com...

Israeli Cabinet ministers backed a draft law to demolish Bedouin villages in the country's Negev Desert and move its residents to government-approved settlements in the area. If adopted by the Knesset, it will affect tens of thousands of Bedouins.

Bedouins have argued they purchased their land in the Negev before the establishment of the state of Israel. The agreements, however, are said to have been verbal, and never registered in Israel’s official Land Registry. Israeli law does not recognize land claims that are not backed by some form of written proof of purchase or ownership.

I have seen and heard hundreds of stories regarding the theft of Olive Groves from Palestinians that have had the groves in their families for hundreds of year and have heard of Water Wells being stolen along with houses but this is a new one for me.

Opinions?

Nothing says PEACE like relocating 40,000 people. Sarcasm.

Its only a matter of time till somebody makes this the fault of the Bedouin.... or at least justify relocating the Bedouin.
