re desertification of the negev this is nonsense i lived in the negev for many years and i can say for sure that no beduins were moved or harmed in any way on the contrary their standard of living has climbed sharply many of them now live in rather nice permanent houses and own cars there are quite a few beduin students in the ben gurion university there are good friendly relations between them and the rest of the population all the beduins i met would be rather surprised to read mr davidson s poster i have to say danny keren
