""There is a toxic waste dump in the Negev.
It has been there for 38 years.
There are some illegally built habitations nearby, but no-one was forced to move there and no-one is forced to stay there.
When they are removed no doubt Jim will bleat that it is a "war crime."""

I posted, ages ago, evidence that the Negev Bedouins had inhabited that land for 600 years.

You ignored it, as is your normal reaction when you have no response.

Thank you for confirming what I said earlier, that the Bedouin were already there 38 years ago, when the Israelis established a toxic site right alongside their dwellings.

All of which means that Israel has been aware of the dangers for 38 years, and has done nothing to alleviate it, and you praise them for wanting to move the inhabitants away from a hazard which should never have been there. Not to the up market accommodation for "real" Israelis, which replaces the Bedouins, but to low quality townships with high crime rates.

Yes Keith, Israel sure does look after its Arab minority.....NOT!!
