hile attention is focused on the Palestinian Authority’s UN recognition initiative, Israel is quietly taking hugely significant steps to transfer 30,000 Palestinian Bedouin in the Naqab (Negev) desert from their ancestral lands.
Recently, Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, approved plans for another large-scale cleansing of the Bedouin community in the Naqab. The plan would “relocate” 30,000 of those who managed to remain on their land after more than two thirds of all Bedouin were uprooted during the establishment of Israel.
This is another reason why recognising Israel is a "Jewish state" is a bad idea - what they don't tell you in the fine print is that the foriegn Minister as part of this wants to kick out all non Jews that live in Israel but did not leave/were not expelled in 1948 or 1967.
