British Jews slam Israeli regime for expulsion of Arabs...

Jewish youth and students in Britain have censured Israeli regime’s authorities over a proposed Knesset bill to relocate Israeli Arabs (Bedouin) families who live in the Negev desert.

The British Union of Jewish Students, the Progressive Zionist movement Pro Zion and four youth movements - Habonim, LJY-Netzer, RSY-Netzer and Noam Masorti - demanded Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Finance Minister Yair Lapid put a halt to the proposed legislation.

“As Zionist organizations, we cannot allow the expulsion of 40,000 Bedouin, and deny the Bedouin a fair opportunity to hold on to their ancestral lands.”
They called on the regime to give official recognition to all existing Bedouin villages and accept land ownership claims made over the past 40 years.

“The Bedouin community constitutes 30 per cent of the Negev population, and their demands involve only 5.4 percent of its land,” the groups stated. Full story...
