I am writing to encourage you to urge the Israeli government to stop the persecution of Negev Bedouin Arabs in Israel.

The Prawer-Amidror Plan, a recent proposition adopted by the Israeli government, will force 45,000 Bedouins from their homes.
This is all part of a larger plan, fueled by racism, that aims to concentrate Negev Bedouin Arabs into towns and take away their land. The Bedouin Arab culture mandates that they live in open rural land, not in densely populated cites.
Please help send a strong message to the Israeli government. No one should be forced from their lifestyle because of their race or ethnicity.
Please sign this petition and join me in helping Bedouin Arabs maintain their autonomy.

I got this email from care2causes and hope that all that read this will sign the petition and involve any activist networks you are involved with.
For over sixty years the Israeli Jews have been hounding the indigenous Palestinians. The Israeli Jews have attempted to rewrite the history of Palestine with such blatant lies it is almost impossible to untangle their evil web of falsehoods, fabrications and lies of omission.
I will just examine one or two out and out lies. In 1948 Israel fought what it calls the war for independence against Palestine's neighboring armies. Palestine itself had no armed forces whatsoever.
The Syrian and Egyptian armies were in no way as well equipped or trained for a modern war. Israel was backed by the major European countries and the USA. There was no way that they were in danger. This is when the Nakba commenced. Deliberate ethnic cleansing which pushed the indigenous Palestinians into Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, etc.
The Israeli Jews said Palestine was a land without people "for a people without a land." The part in quotes is true but Palestine has been inhabited for at least 4,500 years.
Until the advent of zionism Muslim, Christian and Jew cohabitated peacefully in Palestine. Now the Israeli Jews have control and/or ownership of 85% of Palestine and they keep usurping ever more.
Why would people that live in a desert ecosystem systematically blow up wells, dismantle irrigation systems, ruin family cisterns designed to catch rain water and usurp all potable water to sell back to the Palestinians?
These are a people of self proclaimed ethics and respect for the law.
These are people who have destroyed a single village over 30 times in something like the last 14 months. These are a people who have decided to push the Bedouins into an area that until recently was a garbage dump. These are the people who own the USA Senate and Congress and President. These are the people who give USA nothing but want billions of our tax dollars to continue their occupation and creeping genocide of Palestinians.
Please sign the petition.
