Bedouistan: How the State of Israel is Losing the Negev

A state-within-a-state has taken shape in southern Israel: Bedouistan, the lawless state of the Negev. Astonishing quantities of illegal weapons, land-grabs, water and electricity theft, drug trafficking and marijuana plantations on IDF firing zones, agricultural terrorism, protection rackets, home invasions, theft and armed robbery - all this and more make up the daily reality of the Negev. "Bedouistan" raises some hard questions: Why does every Bedouin receive a free parcel of land for their 18th birthday? Why is the Negev the world's polygamy capital? How is it possible that some NIS 400 million is being stolen by illegal petrol stations in the Negev each year? What is the truth behind the claim that the Bedouin are the "indigenous population" of the Negev? The Regavim Movement has been studying, documenting and recommending solutions for the Negev for over 16 years, and now Meir Deutsch, Director General of Regavim, has published a book that offers an insider's view of the situation on the ground in the region that comprises some 60% of the territory of the State of Israel. This important and unique volume presents a factual view of what's really happening down south - and what can be done to turn the situation around. It's not too late reassert Israel's sovereignty in the Negev. Order your copy today, and learn more!
