Negev Bedouin protest home demolitions, crop destruction

Dozens of Bedouin residents of unrecognized villages in the Negev Desert demonstrated in Be'er Sheva on Sunday morning against the Interior Ministry's and Israel Lands Administration's policies of home demolitions and crop destruction in their villages.

The protest was held opposite the Interior Ministry's Be'er Sheva offices.

Last week, the ILA's crop-duster planes again sprayed wheat fields planted by the Bedouin citizens, killing the crops.

Sheikh Sayikh Al-Turi, of the Al-Arakib village near Kibbutz Lahav, said this was the fifth time in five years that state authorities had sprayed his crops.

"Two hundred people live off this land. We have no other choice than to plant again. I hope enough rain falls for the wheat to sprout," he said.

This has been ongoing over a long period of time and to make out it must be a lie and slap the worn-out 'anti-Israel' label on anything that doesn't cast the Israeli govt in a glowing light is kind of lame...

If you have an actual criticism of the article I posted or have some argument as to why it is incorrect, then do that. But don't try to smear The Guardian by getting the most basic facts wrong about their sacking of a trainee journalist....
