Ethnic Cleansing and the Bedouins

Ethnic cleansing at work: the Arabs will be moved to make way for Israeli settlers and to break up the West Bank and prevent a "two state solution" --
''Yet the new site offers only one-16th of an acre for each family — a fraction of what Bedouins from the tribe were granted in the late 1990s when they were displaced by the expansion of Maale Adumim. Oddly, the Supreme Court’s ruling claimed that there would be a place for their herds to graze — though the government had already acknowledged the opposite.'' They will be removed and their way of life destroyed --Untermenchen. Right wing settlers have joined the Supreme Court and the Court no longer is a safeguard which follows the law but has become partisan. This is happening to our Supreme Court too which is on the road to rehabilitate the Dred Scott Decision.
