Establishment Of The State Of Israel: Impact Upon Bedouin Of The Negev
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. Similar to the plight of America's indigenous Indian population when the Puritan colonists settled upon their territory, the Arab Bedouin in the Negev – a nomadic people who comprise twelve percent of Palestinian's minority population (Anonymous, 2004) – were forced into a miserable existence replete with loss of rights to land ownership and grazing, agricultural desecration, lack of water access, substandard education and general misery cast upon them ever since the 1948 War when eighty percent of the natives either fled from or were thrown off their property when the State of Israel came into existence. Those who remained were relegated to second-rate military plots without opportunity to return to and cultivate their own land. That was not the worst of it, however, when one considers the inhumane treatment unrecognized villagers have historically endured at the hands of a merciless Israeli government. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
