“Not a genocide” apologists in 3… 2…
Well, in the case of Bedouins, it technically isn’t a genocide…. Seems ironic to me that a member of a group that is traditionally migratory refuses to leave. But the reason is obvious: if they leave, they’ll have nowhere to come back to and nowhere to go.
Climate change (local as well as global) has been hard on the Bedouin everywhere.
And it also points out that the Israeli expansionists aren’t just about Palestinian genocide; they don’t want anyone who’s not Jewish on the land. And I’m sure if they ever accomplished that, the goalposts would move to “only practicing Jews allowed” and following that, “only orthodox Jews allowed” — except that the orthodoxy wouldn’t necessarily line up with how we’ve traditionally used that term.
They pretty much do the same to their Armenian and Christian minorities. They are trying to slowly grab the whole land, which is very ironic, because they seem to have fully embraced from the river to the sea ideology.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Under the unrelenting heat of the Negev desert, for the fifth time in the last two weeks, Tayaeer Abu Asda has set up an improvised tent, which will serve as a temporary home for his wife and five children for at least the next three days.
However, every three days Israeli forces arrive with a sizeable police presence, dismantling the temporary homes, uprooting trees that had offered shade and issuing threats of arrest.
Authorities have long planned to demolish the village to expand the southernmost stretch of Highway 6, but the expansion works were eventually halted due to a lack of funds.
More than a year ago he shared a video on social media celebrating the demolition of Palestinian Bedouin homes in the Negev.
In the appeal, Adalah argued, among other things, that the magistrates court had committed a grave error in concluding that the residents of Ras Jrabah did not have a rightful claim to the land, despite acknowledging that the village has existed in its exact location for 45 years.
Bedouin living in Negev, known for their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle as animal herders, have gradually shifted towards a sedentary existence in response to increasing restrictions on their mobility and livelihoods.
