Israel - Bedouin Villages - Unrecognised


INCOMPLETE NOTES
SOURCE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrecognized_Bedouin_villages_in_Israel


Bedouin = Arab

Bedouin (Arab)
= abt 2% of the Israeli pop.
= BUT:  unrecognised Bedouin communities
= spread on a vast territory / occupy over 10% of Israel

Unrecognised Bedouin Villages
= built without official permission

ineligible for
  • municipal services (eg electrical grid, water mains or garbage collection)
  • cannot elect govt representatives

= scattered all over Northern Negev
= often adjacent to military fire zones, natural reserves, landfills, etc

1800s, Ottoman Empire
Negev
= inhabited mostly by semi-nomadic Bedouin tribes

1858
Turks enacted a law: all landowners names must be officially documented

= most land in Negev classified as muwat (dead land, wasteland unsuitable for cultivation)

= Bedouin did not create a written record of their connection to the land
= possibly opposed b/c then subject to Ottoman empire, taxes & military service

1896
= Negev Bedouin lived in almost complete freedom
= Turks only marked tribal boundaries | Did not grant "ownership" of tribal territorial lands

BRITISH MANDATE
British govt
= adopted Ottoman land laws
= added the mawat land to Land Ordinance to prevent squatting / takeover

1921
British order registration of land by residents
Any Bedouin who cultivated & improved mawat land would confirmation of ownership
Bedouin never registered

NOTE - Sale of Land Recognition by Bedouin
(recorded land registry (Tabu))

Bedouin argue:
"Turks & British recognized the rights of ownership of land in which they roamed, and this recognition was expressed when the Bedouin sold land to the Zionist movement during the British Mandate, and the sales were recognized and recorded in the land registry (Tabu)."

Dr. Yosef Ben-David argues:
Turks & British transferred land without intending to recognise rights of ownership:

"without the authorities taking into consideration any legal rights the Bedouin had to the land recognized by either government"

Other refusal argument:

"Jews who dealt with redemption of lands"

ie. Jews who bought land in Palestine

gave ex gratia [voluntary] funds to the Bedouin
for purposes of: rapid registration of Israel lands in the land registry
not as legal recognition of ownership of the Bedouin

BEDOUIN LAND SALES
1930s to 1948 (est. Israel)

765,000 dunams of land
  • abt 180,000 dunams, sold to JNF representatives
  • abt 45,000 dunams, sold to private Jews
  • abt 545,000 dunams, sold to Arab peasants from the Gaza Strip (mainly)

1948 Arab–Israeli War aftermath:
= Negev region becomes territory of newly created Israel

Census before & after 1948 Arab-Israeli War
= 80% of the Bedouin population left the Negev to areasunder Arab rule

Attitudes
= ambivalent

*considered loyal to new state
*some volunteered to serve in IDF
*Negev seen as 'hinterland'

Policy eventually
= Siyagh (Arabic for "the permitted area")
= requiring Bedouin to concentrate in an area of 1,100km sq.

Post Arab-Israeli 1948 War
= all Bedouin remaining under Israeli rule granted Israeli citizenship

*But Siyagh region was placed under martial law until 1966

REJECTION OF BEDOUIN CLAIMS
Israel relies on the Ottoman Land Code of 1858 / mawat { THUS STATE }

1934
British Mandatory Maps
= Bedouin tribe locations shown, but tribe boundaries not marked

1946 British Census
= 127,000 in whole of Palestine
= 92,000 in Beersheba district

1947 report of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine
= est 90,000 Bedouin in Beersheba district

Black Goat Law of 1950
prohibiting grazing of goats outside recognized land holding
grazing was thereby rendered illegal
= the only preceding law frame in the region

BEDOUIN SETTLEMENTS

Negev Bedouin
= only group of Arab citizens of Israel with remaining large-scale hold on land
= state officially denies recognition in principle, while recognizing in practice

*Illegal Bedouin expansion continues rapidly in all directions
occupies spaces that Israel did not know before
Be'er Sheva
north and east to Be'er Sheva
started to settle west of Be'er Sheva {close to Mount Hebron}

Dimona | Judean Desert
communities spread south to Dimona and towards the Judean Desert

Retamim | Revivim

large spaces near Retamim and Revivim
gettng close to the Gaza Strip

Negev

2007
60% in x7 permanent state-planned townships / balance, illegal


Central Negev

central Negev near Mitzpe Ramon
close to the central area

Galilee

2011

NORTH - Galilee
most formerly illegal villages
= regulated & recognized
= population of 90,000 Bedouin in the NORTH
= few hundred still live in unrecognised villages

SOUTH - Galilee
= 90,000 residents / unrecognised Bedouin villages
= 45% of total Bedouin population


Rehovot | Rishon LeZion
2010
66 illegal Bedouin settlements

---

2004
= Approx half of 170,000 Bedouin citizens of Israel
(ie 85,000) - reside in 39 villages

2008
= 50,000 illegal buildings in the Negev
*abt 1,500 to 2,000 more built every year

2010
= 2,100 separate concentrations in Negev
*abt 3–400 constructions each

2011
= Approx 1000 illegal Bedouin concentrations
over 64,000 homes
*abt 2200-2000 new buildings adding every year

2013
Approx 92 unrecognised villages
x59 = Negev

rural Bedouin communities

not legally recognised / illegal

unknown numbers of villages
(b/c diff. bodies use diff. definitions re 'village')

increase in recognition last decade
slow recognition process {some communities}


Negev Bedouin claim area 12 times bigger than that of Tel Aviv
[Israel Land Administration]

---

RECOGNISED TOWNSHIPS
(formerly illegal)

1994-2007
= 21 recognised

IRAQ - Ezzat al-Douri Killing







Why It Doesn’t Matter if Iraq’s Ezzat al-Douri Was Killed (Video)

Posted on Apr 18, 2015
By Juan Cole
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/why_it_doesnt_matter_if_iraqs_ezzat_al-douri_was_killed_video_20150418

SUMMARY
Ezzat al-Douri
= first high Baath Party official
to turn to a religious group as a power base
strategy common after 2003 US invasion

Baath Party was founded by Christians
& was militantly secular
often persecuting religious groups & parties

al-Douri = patron of Naqshbandi Sufi order in Mosul
Sufism = mystical
part Sunni tradition
diff to Wahhabi-influenced Salafi

al-Douri said to be behind
“Men of the Naqshbandi”
effective fighters against US + Shia in North Iraq

Mosul Iraq Naqshbandis
= one of groups that allied itself w. ISIL vs Shiite army
ISIL stabbed Naqshbandis in the back

Iraq Mosul
ISIL Salafism offshoot
screwed over new allies
by arresting leading Naqshbandi figures & ex-Baathist ones

USA method of eliminating heads of militant orgs
has not worked on Taliban or in Iraq;
partly b/c clan-led republics

Iraq Taliban
Leader elimination ineffective b/c
when one leader is killed, his cousin just steps in

Iraq Taliban
Other reason eliminating leaders not effective: religion
Religious charisma transferable (according to article)

That Ezzat al-Douri may have been killed is not important
He was old
[& interchangeable {by sound of article}]

Iraq
by destroying the Baath govt of Iraq,
Bush admin made vacuum of power & culture
filld by religious forms of resistance

Iraq
Iraqi Sunnis were among more secular people in Middle East
author says: desperation drove them to religious revolt.

Really enjoyed this article.
