Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
Unless you can prove your statements you are lying.
The Bedouins live in tribes, the tribe under threat of eviction has occupied this particular territory for centuries - this is long established and recognised.
You obviously have no concept of how nomadism works
I repeat, to move them in order to make room for Jewish settlers is an act of racist fascism.

"The only toxic dump is where they have illegally settled."
Been through this - you have been given all the factors as to why this dump is toxic - you have refused to respond
The decision to move them there has been described as an international crime against humanity by the UN, which is why they have halted the move for the time being.
The "illegal" site you mention is one that has been settled because those there have no alternative (the situation with most travellers the world over, including in Britain).
The Israelis have long been fully aware of the dangerous conditions there and have, up to now ignored them, but have been forced by public outcry to acknowledge them as wrong
This month the Israeli government have blocked a bill aimed at moving the Bedouins to safer conditions - politicians eh - the same the world over!!
"The Ministerial Legislative Committee ruled on Sunday that the government would oppose a bill seeking to ban residence within a five-kilometer radius of the national hazardous waste disposal site at Ramat Hovav."

The Bedouins are an oppressed minority in Israel - you still have to respond to the fact that the Israelis are using toxic sprays on their crops and livestock.

"fight for Israel against their Arab "brothers."
With one small exception this is no longer the case
"Until 2000, each year between 5%–10% of the Bedouin population of draft age volunteered for the Israeli army, and Bedouin were well known for their unique status as volunteers. The legendary Israeli soldier, Amos Yarkoni, first commander of the Shaked Reconnaissance Battalion in the Givati Brigade, was a Bedouin (born Abd el-Majid Hidr). Today the number of Bedouin in the army may be less than 1%.[232] A 2003 report stated that willingness among Bedouin to serve in the army had drastically dropped in recent years, as the Israeli government has failed to fulfill promises of equal service provision to Bedouin citizens.[233] However, a 2009 article in Haaretz stated that volunteer recruitment for a crack elite Bedouin army unit rose threefold.[234]"

You have been given evidence of the murderous clearances of the villages - over 400 of them.
Unless you can prove otherwise, your accusation that this is "made up," it is (once again, and with boring regularity) you who is lying - address the evidence, which is a proven and long established fact of history.
