“Meanwhile, the Bedouin village of al-Araqib was demolished for the 109th time on Wednesday.”
Ma’an ~ February 8, 2017
NEGEV ~ In the latest instance of Israel’s demolition campaign in the Negev region of southern Israel, homes were demolished in two unrecognized Bedouin villages on Wednesday, while Israeli police surrounded the village of Umm al-Hiran.
Israeli bulldozers, escorted by Israeli police, demolished a house in the village of Wadi al-Naam in the western part of the Negev in southern Israel.
Locals told Ma’an that the demolished house was owned by an elderly woman and her daughter. A member of the local committee, Yousif Ziyadin, said that an emergency session would be held to discuss the Israeli demolition.
A relative of the elderly homeowner, Ahmad Zanoun, told Ma’an that 100-year-old Ghaytha Zanoun and her 60-year-old daughter Hilala were living in the house, both of whom suffer from various health issues.
Zanoun said that both Ghaytha and Hilala were unable to walk, and noted that the family had renovated the home in accordance with their doctor’s suggestions due to their health conditions.
He added that Ghaytha and her daughter now were homeless following the demolition.
ED Noor: It is about now that my barely-controlled hatred of these scumbag Israelis becomes difficult to manage. CRIPPLED OLDER WOMEN! HOMELESS! These SPITEFUL creatures from hell.
The Wadi al-Naam village was established in the 1950s soon after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that established the state of Israel. Military officials forcibly transferred the Negev Bedouins to the site during the 17-year period when Palestinians inside Israel were governed under Israeli military law, which ended shortly before Israel’s military takeover of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967.
ED Noor: AKA The PrawerPlan.

In July, the Israeli government approved plans to build townships for Israel’s Bedouin community. The planned township is expected to be built just south of Shaqib al-Salam, another Bedouin township, and would transfer at least 7,000 Bedouins from the unrecognized village of Wadi al-Naam, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported last year.
The approved village would comprise of an area of approximately 9,000 dunams (2,224 acres), while providing housing to some 9,000 residents, The Times of Israel also reported.
ED Noor: Ah! Reservations! Yes, the Prawer Plan! Probably on land even the Israelis don’t want because it is so sterile. How do you urbanize a people who have lived wild since the beginning of time?
The proposal to expand the area of Shaqib al-Salam was challenged in Israel’s Supreme Court in 2015, as the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), who assisted in the court proceedings, argued that any expansion of the town would be followed by the forcible removal of Bedouins from unrecognized villages, particularly from Wadi al-Naam.

No, the demonic spawns of satan have no problems whatsoever with rendering a 100 year old handicapped woman and her handicapped daughter homeless. This is the tribe of those who fire bombed an 18 month old baby and his entire family, and got away scott free. There is NO crime too heinous, NO lows they won’t stoop to. These monstrosities need to be sent back to the pitts of hell where they crawled out of.
I remember after hearing a report about what these devils do to children in their torture prisons all participants were askings themselves: ARE THESE ISRAELI CREATURES HUMANS ?
Take the “BDS” movement against this demonic state to the new level of “RPDI” — Return Palestine Dissolve Israel movement:

So let me get this straight – these villages are being “wiped off map”?
Remember, the Bedouin have traditionally been a nomadic people. I may be wrong, but I don’t believe nomads had “villages”. I thought that these villages were the result of being forced to sit in one place and now, those places are being removed as well. But these folks are marked for extinction. Their traditions have been destroyed.
That’s right Dougal! No respect for anything – not the heritage – not the history, no nothing.
So sad and disrespectful. I can understand the reactions due to what they call “illegal constructions”but going in and demolishing everything is literally an act of violence. This is not right…
We are constantly being told Israel is being threatened with being “wiped off the map” but they are LITERALLY doing it to the Palestinians every single day.
