Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. Similar to the plight of America's indigenous Indian population when the Puritan colonists settled upon their territory, the Arab Bedouin in the Negev – a nomadic people who comprise twelve percent of Palestinian's minority population (Anonymous, 2004) – were forced into a miserable existence replete with loss of rights to land ownership and grazing, agricultural desecration, lack of water access, substandard education and general misery cast upon them ever since the 1948 War when eighty percent of the natives either fled from or were thrown off their property when the State of Israel came into existence. Those who remained were relegated to second-rate military plots without opportunity to return to and cultivate their own land. That was not the worst of it, however, when one considers the inhumane treatment unrecognized villagers have historically endured at the hands of a merciless Israeli government. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

That was not the worst of it, however, when one considers the inhumane treatment unrecognized villagers have historically endured at the hands of a merciless Israeli government. "The discrimination
against Arab citizens of Israel constitutes one of the most severe infringements of equality in the State of Israel. The repeated instances of discrimination cover all aspects of life,
from the inadequacy of educational facilities to discrimination in the work force to insufficient government services allocated to Arab areas...Israel remains among the few Western nations that have not enacted
comprehensive legislation protecting the right of the individual to equality. Without such legislation, court decisions serve as the primary basis for establishing the states obligation to act justly and
equally toward all citizens" (ACRI, 2002). Those Bedouins who chose to bypass the military mandate took a great risk when it came to rebuilding their shattered lives once the
State of Israel was established. The extent to which land has always reflected economic prosperity and cultural survival to the Bedouin is both grand and far-reaching; those forced to
live in settlements with no opportunity to cultivate their own livelihoods were left behind by those who refused to abide by such an affront to inherent human rights. The
