can return to Egypt and the Sahara desert to be close to their roots, there all their buildings r ilegal so once again people that don't belong in Israel have demands, so they will have to stop whinining, cause they r exploiting the jewish hospitality too much.
2. The real illegal settlements
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.13.09)
Land theft along with property theft, human trafficking and smuggling. Just what the hell is there to legalize in this.
3. It's not just the Bedouins

Nobody gives a damn about the Negev as a whole. There were promises to turn the desert into an oasis or whatever since the days of Ben Gurion :) Btw, if they're so poor, why do they have houses that look like palaces? I'm not asking out of animosity or anything, I just don't get it...

6. What's the matter with you?

Just get the JNF and the state to modernise the Bedouin towns. Who cares if the villages are all registered/legal. Just get it over with. How expensive can it be? If the JNF sets up a fund for the project, I'll gladly donate for the cause. "They can always find other [sic] country" Why? They are Israelis? Their people fought and died for Israel. They have every right to live in Israel and we should pay more attention to their situation. They are our allies, and you look after your allies.
7. #3: True, but
Noa ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (07.13.09)
True, no one cares about the Negev, and this is why we are not protected against Bedouins collecting protection money, their smuggling drugs and women, so this is were the money comes from. But, were else should it come from? Does anyone care for or about them? This situation is a ticking time bomb and it is in our own interest to work together with them. And, gerim hainu....
8. Andrew's right you know...

The Be’er Sheva River Park for instance...
