This is hogwash, the Negev is undisputed Israeli territory therefore if she wishes to move residents it's an internal matter.No one elses business.

Europe will soon be totally bankrupt and so will the USA, so they try to flex the muscle they don't have. They will soon be redundant, the picture says it all, the Europe talking to Assad. If anyone is ethnic cleansing its Assad.

I was ethnically cleansed out of Baghdad with about a million other Jews from the Middle East, where we originated and then lived for over 2500 years Arabs ethnically cleansing Christians out of the Middle East for some years EU are shameless ,t hey say sweet nothing . Appeasers, Two faced Anti Semities .

Israel's media should stop reporting on matters that undermines Israel. There may be a good reason for the government to do what they do. The media should stop dwelling on things that tarnish and weaken Israel. A weak Israel will be a recipe for Israel's destruction.

..is to basher/attack Israel. And Véronique De Keyser is just one of those fortune seekers ...offering her own integrity on the alter of truth. Please invite her to Israel and let her spend a night with some hamasss terrorists...

Herself from Jews then it's an internal affairs and hopefully Israel will have nothing to say about that!

europe cleansing itself from jews will be a welcome opportunity for israel to have major major jewish, prosperous and intellectual jews from europe descend on israel by the hundreds of thousands....which is only going to be good for israel, you moron. you will loose the jews, but have your hordes of unwashed muslims, primitives, violent, uneducated and fanatic muslims....this will be your future. islam and sharia law. how do you like that?

Subsequently those jews that come to Israel will flee again because of the lack of opportunities here ... lol, before you start calling names please grow up and get some education.

.... unhealthy obsession with all things Israeli, including matters which are none of their business. Given the depth and breadth of problems in the European Union, one would think that they would have better things to do. I wonder what the response would be should Israel start commenting loudly and publicly on all things wrong with the European Union. We could bring up fiscal mismanagement, graft, corruption ..... the list is really quite long. It would be fun to try, wouldn't it? The best defense is a really good offense. And it would certainly put the European Union in its place.

Véronique De Keyser is a French-speaking socialist politician, in a country , Belgium, that all but ceased to exist, and where 30% of voters in its capital, Brussels, are French(kind of)-speaking Muslims. Anything to add ?...

We should allow bedouin to build entire villages wherever we want but if somebody builds a small house in the city without permission it could be pulled down if planning permission is not obtained first. The Bedouin have lands all over the Negev given to the Turks thats got to change. If we are going to develop the Negev we cannot start paying rent to bedouin or being told you cannot build there because its private property and I don't want a new town on my land. Give the Bedouin land to compensate in other parts of the Negev like the government is trying to do but at the end of the day the government must be the one who lays down the rules if we want to develop the country not the Bedouin If its ethnic cleansing then we much ethnically cleanse for the good of the entire state.. We had better be prepared though for more international criticism of the way the country is run once we deal with the palestinian issue, the EU have already said before they intend to be champions of the rights of arab Israelis so they will never stop trying to dictate Israeli policy, solve one problem they have with Israel they will then find another to sort out. The EU should be paying more attention to Syria than they are to Israel

of Israel's position. Why does Israel not deserve this title of "ethnic cleansing".

"The Roma should return to their country and be integrated over there," Mr Valls declared. "They should return to Romania or Bulgaria and for that the European Union, with the Bulgarian and Romanian authorities must ensure these populations are firstly integrated in their countries." "It's illusory to think that we can resolve the problem of the Roma population solely via insertion (into French society)," he said. "There is no other solution than dismantling these camps progressively and deporting (the Roma)." Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

Ethnic cleansing: Northern Cyprus had 70% Christians until the Turks ethnically cleansed Cyprus, and there are none. Until 1948, Jews were a majority of what fascists now call "East Jerusalem". Then the Arab Legion under British command came and ethnically cleansed the Jews, and then there were no more Jews. The same can be said of the Jews and Christians of Gaza, Bethlehem, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. In contrast, since Israel controls the Negev, the Bedouin population has flourished and multiplied more than tenfold, and improved by any objective measure.

The Roma in France are deported as they travel home from school, by a French socialist Govt.! Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria have regularly committed acts like, forced removals,and building walls round their Roma communities. Yet these countries hardly receive any censure from the EU. Their cheap labour and open markets are the main priority for the EU . No doubt there are problems with Israeli policies towards its own Beduin populations, much more coukd and should be done to help them with housing, education and jobs, but to be lectured by the EU stinks of the Hypocracy that this organisation regularly emits. The EU elections next year are going to return some shocking results as anti EU parties are expected to romp home.

The EU have already said before they intend to champion the rights of Israeli arabs. Today its the bedouin tomorrow it will probably be the arab triangle then the arabs in the cities. Then we will be told how we must do more for the arabs and how we must bring them into government etc etc. Probably they will eventually start moaning about the sate symbols not representing arabs or the law of return being to discriminatory or the jewish state concept is racist so we must give up that as well. The EU will never give up their unhealthy obsession with Israel, they are going to be constantly looking for fault ... shame they didn't admit Turkey in the end then we could have had proven what an anti semitic bunch they really are and how they want to see Israel gone.

It is totally wrong to use the words 'ethnic cleansing', 'holocaust', 'helpless', 'innocent' for any nation other than Jews. We have a right to "claim" and publicise our suffering by building museums and think-tanks, while it is the inherent fate of palestenians to silently suffer. And that is the truth, and that is Israel, and that is what Palestenians need to understand, dead or alive, displaced or maimed.

Included in an article like this, such a major assertion, to include an example of that claim would help more to substantiate it. To read a brief argument of a particular subject would help the reader to formulate an opinion. One thing for sure, an improvement in the lives of the Bedouin community would be expected as to the standards of settlements/ Jewish communities that have been built. It would be hoped for that there could be an understanding that would be satisfactory and understood by both "sides". There should be unity in looking out for each others futures, after all, they are our futures. We pray.

who doesn't have a clue what she's talking about amid an organisation totally obsessed with Israel, out of envy (Israeli (economic) success) & fear (Muslim future majority). They understood that with their Palestinian obsession they didn't get anywhere, so they found themselves another project. Instead of finding the billions of disappeared taxpayers money, stolen by the different Palestinian leaders & friends they now have found the Israeli Bedouin to smear Israel. A pathetic bunch!

very different things. In 2009 Obama requested US military base in Negev, in a very particular spot. Israelis came back with objection claiming the place is a traditional beduin place. To which Pentagon responded with threat to pull US assistance. Since then Israel offered, at own expense, homes and entire villages built for beduin relocation. Of course, at complete state expense. All the while EU Anti - Semites were wetting appetite for new installment of soap opera about Jewish people drinking blood of non - Jewish children.

there you go again, getting your knickers in a knot. I honestly enjoy your posts Sarah but please allow me to make the observation that any 'Zionist' who does not live exclusively in Israel is a hypocrite. Rather like the 'vegetarian' who only eats a little meat. Please reply to this Sarah. It would remind me of my ex wife.

They are not even allowed to speak their language in your neighboring country France.

Why should Israel care about a bunch of hypocrites and racists from Europe? Israel is on a journey to strengthen its relations with Asia. The European racists are sinking and loosing their influence.

As long as Israel is strong, no Jew should worry. Israel will gladly accept any Jew Europe will expel. Let the brains go to Israel, and let Europe sink.

The anti Semitism coming out of Europe today is so deeply ingrained and widespread that any thing we do as a Jewish state other than annihilate ourselves will be wrong in their eyes.

The fact that Jews lived 2500 years in these places argues against your charge. The "cleansing" you mention was only after the Nakba of Palestinians and in retaliation for it. See how you distort the truth?

So Israel can remove and concentrate Bedouins because they live "illegally" in their own country. Like "present absentees" I suppose. Leave it to Zionists to debase language as well as everything else.
