| Bedouin Land Fight : in Hura, the Negev | | JONATHAN COOK - Counterpunch - Mr al Uqbi claims the right to return to a patch of 82 hectares in the Negev, close to the regional capital, Beersheva, that he says has belonged to his family for generations. But as both the government and the judge in the case, Sarah Dovrat, seem to appreciate, much more is at stake. Should Mr al Uqbi win his case, tens of thousands of Bedouin, who long ago had their properties confiscated, could be entitled to repossess their agricultural lands or seek enormous sums in compensation.

Critics have said that increasing hostility to dissent - on both the state and public level - is a symptom of the erosion of democracy in Israel.
