3-5-2014 Prawer Plan [redux] to displace Bedouin - +972

http://972mag.com/special/prawer-plan-to-displace-bedouin/

Tens of thousands of Bedouin citizens of Israel live in “unrecognized” villages…. [and thus] do not receive basic services such as connections to water lines and the power grid.

According to the plan…nearly all residents in the unrecognized villages will be evicted and forcibly relocated to planned communities. ..Many of the “unrecognized” villages predate the state, while others are populated with internally displaced peoples from other parts of the Negev from 1948.

The Bedouin, Palestinian-Israeli political and civic groups and the Israeli Right oppose the plan. Community leaders are vowing to resist its implementation, which would be the largest displacement of a Palestinian population by Israel in decades.
