There is no more bigotted and racist society on earth than Israel. Compare the treatment of jewish "settlements" with Bedouin "settlements" in the Negev native lands of the Bedouin.
ABC Online: Israeli authorities have used cropdusters to destroy the crops of a Bedouin tribe in the Negev desert, accusing the semi-nomadic Arabs of being squatters on state land.
Six hundred hectares of crops have been destroyed in the raid authorised by the Israel Lands Authority.
The Bedouin were forced off the traditional lands they roamed in the Negev and into officially sanctioned towns after the formation of Israel in 1948 but many have moved back into the desert and formed what Israel considers illegal settlements.
Israel says the Bedouin were warned several times that the village of Abu Kaff, where 3,500 live in corrugated iron shacks and tents, is illegal and they are not to cultivate crops.
Bedouin MP Taleb al Sanna says the Land Authority acted illegally without a court order and endangered lives by using toxic chemicals to destroy the crops.
