In September of 2011, the Israeli cabinet approved a plan to relocate up to 30,000 Bedouin from unrecognised villages in the Negev. A national strike is planned in Israeli Arab areas in protest at this move.
The Bedouin are the indigenous owner-occupiers of the Negev – they have been there for thousands of years. Since 1948 Israel has built dozens of Jewish towns, villages, kibbutzim and farms while pushing the Bedouin into ever smaller enclaves. In Rahat, for example, there are 52,000 Bedouin living on 21,000 acres, while the regional council of Bnei-Shimon covers 440,000 acres and is home to just 6,000 Jews.

The idea of a country just for my people sounded appealing when i was blind. Now that I can see it makes me sick.
