Bedouin villages have been demolished to make way for Negev developmentIsrael's plan has been to "suburbanize" the Negev with Jewish settlementsScroll down for 20+ entries | | **Save the Negev asks you to sign the petition against the renewed destruction of Bedouin villages at Change.org.**The basics: The Jewish National Fund's "Blueprint Negev" is a driving force in Negev development, but the environmental and social impact of Blueprint Negev has never been reviewed by outside parties. A positive future requires much more than the JNF—the gov't of Israel must decide to implement the best recommendations of the Goldberg report on Bedouin affairs. SavetheNegev.org is a catalyst to get JNF-US, and Israel's government, to revise their plans for the Negev based on principles of sustainability and equitable development, so that what unfolds will both respect the earth and the Bedouin, and help all of Israeli citizens. |
