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

Maybe Israel could even institute a program to help build up their communities as currently-placed. If Israel can lay water pipe and high-speed internet into the Jordan Valley for it's 'settlers,' then surely it can do the same within the borders of Israel! And it's not as if bringing these things to the Negev is some sort of insurmountable obstacle that Israel just can't overcome; Jewish towns and villages such as Arad and Dimona in the Negev have full access to the amenities, after all - and in 2011, Israel's government put forth a plan to create ten new towns in the Negev.

But the Bedouin aren't Jews, so Israel formulates a forced transfer of the population instead. Presumably to make room for those ten new towns... which will have full access to water, sewer, electricity, telecommunications, etc.

It's ethnic cleansing, Mosby and, once again, you've come out in support of it.
