1. Compensation? for Bedouins who are living there illegally?
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.27.08)
Kick them out and that's it. How can you compare this to the Jews who lived in Gaza LEGALLY? You should rather compensate Israeli Arabs and get them out of here.
2. arab land appropriation
carole ,   new york usa   (07.27.08)
the writer of this article must be smoking hash. The appropriation of lands in both the Gail and the negev are conducted by the government of Israel against the arab inhabitants. It is illegal for the government to condemn land for "so called military use" and then use it for new jewish townships to Judaize the areas. Here in the USA it would be unthinkable for the government to seize private land and then give that land to people of another nationality.
3. FROM UNDER WHICH ROCK
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.27.08)
did this guy crawl from. What he is saying I can go and take over his home and he will compensate me generously. We all have seen how the government took care of its Gush Katif citizens. Every time one thinks to have reached the ultimate stupidity another big zero comes with something more moronic. It is so maddening to waste ones tax money on jerks like this.
4. # 2 Funniest Post of the Day
Thomas   (07.27.08)
"Here in the USA it would be unthinkable for the government to seize private land and then give that land to people of another nationality." That's how America was born dear. Unless you mean that since we last did it to Japanese-Americans during WW2, it's become unthinkable.
5. "Treat Bedouins like settlers"?!
Lurker ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.27.08)
That is a disgusting and reprehensible suggestion: Bedouins should be treated with respect and dignity, like human beings!
6. Comparing Apples & Oranges
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel, new oleh   (07.27.08)
First of all, the above suggestion is all bullshit. The regime will NEVER expel any group, unless they are Jewish. Further, while the Gush Katif Jews were ENCOURAGED to settle their land, and were given incentives to do so, the Bedouins, and other Arab groups have SQUATTED on Jewish State owned land for decades. Therefore, the parallel made by the writer to compare both groups is specious and dishonest.
7. Adina, Beduin were in the negev prior to 1948
boxley ,   ATL   (07.27.08)
the only time you' all want to go there is on your way to somewhere else, beduin live there, they like it. Get over it or create a new problem for Israel thanx, bill
8. Miriam, Bedounis are living in south Palestine
(07.27.08)
since thousands of years... From Nabateans to Idumeans, the bedouins have a their footprint on the history of this land. One of the greatest builders in the History of Palestine, Herod the Great, was from a bedouin family.
9. decisive action
alexi   (07.27.08)
Israel has to be decisive in reaction to E. jerusalem, hamas and prepare asymetrically to the next round in the north. No furhtur concessions can be made.Olmert has profoundly damaged israel and no jail time can atone for his sins.His family has watched him commit crimes against the state approvingly. They will go down in history of having enabled his cowardly policies. A renewed kadima should go right into elections. Based on their whole record, not just Olmert, they don't deserve to continue. Ramon, Bar-on, Friedman, even Mazzuzz and Tamir need to be replaced as they are either incompetent are too political, or misguided.Finally, there is nothing that can be done to olmert that will make up for what he has done to israel. Nevertheless, a lengthy prison term will start the clock.
