Israeli demolition plan for Bedouin village sparks outcry

UMM AL-HIRAN, Israel (AP) — Israelis are once again locked in a bitter settlement dispute with their Arab neighbors, but this time the conflict is not unfolding in the West Bank, but in Israel's southern desert.

After years of legal battles, Israel's Supreme Court last week cleared the way for the government to uproot the nearly 60-year-old Bedouin Arab village of Umm al-Hiran, a dusty hill of ramshackle dwellings without proper electricity or water hookups, and in its place build "Hiran," a new community seemingly catering to Jews that is expected to feature a hotel and country club.

1. sounds a lot like life in South Africa when the Afrikaners were in charge.

Whites had the nice areas, non-whites and blacks had the areas with no electricity or water.

Someone remind me again that Israel is a democracy and not just another apartheid type state.

2. Maybe you should go to Israel and find out yourself.

Instead of relying on the non-stop anti-Israeli propaganda. You will see Arabs live in nice areas also. They have electricity and water. Go up to the West Bank and see the main city Ramallah. Very beautiful and prosperous. As far as democracy goes why don't you try to go to any of the Arab states that surround Israel -- if they will let you in. All are dictatorships of one degree or another. Israel is the only democracy in the region -- and yes Arab citizens can and do vote.

3. A "democracy" like the US was a "democracy" prior to the Civil War.

A democracy with classes of citizens. Speaking the truth about what Israel actually is and does is not propaganda. The reality is that Israel is an apartheid type state where non-Jews are treated as second class citizens.
