Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
"The European Parliament heavily criticized the plan.[9] In January 2012 hundreds of people protested the Prawer Plan, calling for the relocation of about 30,000 Beduins to recognized villages, in front of the Beersheba courthouse.[10] In September 2013 both Human Rights Watch and the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) issued statements condemning Israel's ongoing destruction of Palestinian homes and other structures, particularly in the occupied West Bank and the Negev desert in southern Israel.[citation needed]"

It seems that the government of Israel has been drawing on the experience of their biggest ally, the one which ethnically cleansed the Native Americans to make way for their own settlers, putting the few survivors in reservations where they would be totally dependent upon their "benefactors" for food, water and all the other things they previously got from the land they OWNED.

The down side of learning the lessons of history.
