1. Incredible

"In any other country the minorities have rights, but here it is different." Then move to any other country. Quintessential nomads do not "own" land. Transiting from place to place to graze herds does not constitute land ownership in any event. And the shacks and tents that they set up for themselves and their flocks are an unsanitary eyesore. Normal people do not share their homes with goats and sheep, and do not want to be in close proximity to those that do.
2. Thanks for the video. They chant exactly
Israeli 2   (06.13.13)
like the Arabs. I thought they are different.
3. another group of Nomads with Rights
tiki ,   belgium   (06.13.13)
Mentioning the 'same rights as Israeli's........ I don't know many Israeli's who do time sharing with goats & sheep, live voluntary in tents or move around from place to place constantly, qualifications needed to be a Bedouin. So what precisely do they mean by ''ownership? 200 squire miles in the Negev? 1000,10000 what? Do they have papers or is it a claim like the 'Palestinian claims to their historic lands'? While they are carrying the ''Palestinian flags, they should move to ''Palestine"" where ever that may be.
4. # "In any other country the minorities have rights..."
Andrew ,   Delhi, Canada   (06.13.13)
I guess he's never heard of -every single Arab country out there-.
5. It nails a lie.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (06.13.13)
Israeli Arab politicians are forever claiming that Israel's Arabs are excluded from Israeli society That is double talk. They are not excluded;they exclude themselves and that is precisely what the Bedouins want to do. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
6. 2% is too much - they're supposed to be nomads
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (06.13.13)
Bedouins a nomadic people by choice. The Negev is already mostly Arab villages, with the only Jewish cities outside Beer Sheva being Dimona & Mitzpeh Ramon & Ofakim, the others are small mostly small moshavim. To put it into perspective, the settlements are only 3% of the territories. 90% of the population cannot continue to be only in the narrow strip from Tel Aviv to Haifa.
7. Bedouins are Israelis too.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (06.14.13)
As a true friend of yours, I become sad for the text above. All Democratic States respect their minorities. Israel's Fundamental Law issues it so. Nomad people have the same rights. I remember that Ynet noticed, some time ago, about Bedouins integrating IDF. Brothers and sisters, never forget your humanistic roots.
8. Bedouins build Israelis build
Question   (06.14.13)
I believe they have been there as long as you. diplomatic resolution would be best. Why is this an issue?
9. 3,000 Bedoines with pal flags}?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.15.13)
so, they are pals? Gaza is their home, NOT Israel.
10. #1 You Are One Sad Individual
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.15.13)
If you represent the general level of Jewish thought in this world today then there is no hope for your culture, religion, race, tribe or whatever you want to call it.
