#1 Odd headline, I thought Bedouins wer Nomadic, and therefore had NO home in the first place.

#2 I guess the Israelis saw another "Palestine" developing. Speaking of which, why doesn't Iran or the "Palestinians" take them?

#3 Sounds like the set up shop with out regard to laws or security. Considering Israelis, it's probably more a security issue than a squatter issue. Does any body put up with squatters?

#4 I thought Bedouins wer Nomadic, and therefore had NO home in the first place.

The lands they grazed/migrated across have been broken up by settlements and national borders. So nearly all live in villages of some sort now, although they retain their traditional tribal social structures.

#5 The Iran Press loves such stories whether true or not. Several years ago I traveled from Tel Aviv to Beersheba for a wedding. Outside the route along the way were several tents and camels. I asked about these people and was told they were Bedouins. It wouldn't have been much for them to be pack up and be gone the next day--essentially they were nomadic.

#8 The Jerusalem Post article indicates these were secondary homes for people who had their primary homes in a proper, nearby village. And that the razed buildings would be quickly and easily rebuilt once the bulldozers retreated. Also, that the olive trees had only been recently planted, strictly for the purpose of buttressing the Bedouin claim.

#9 As a Christian, I support the State of Isael's right to survive 100%; whereas 90% of American Jews do not. I've toured Israel and understand their situation on the ground. I'd gladly go there to offer my talents rather than stay in the US and have my intellegence further insulted on an hourly basis. I've been pushing myself in that direction. As for the Bedouins? Tough toenails!
