The article discusses conflicts over land tenure between the Israeli government and its Bedouin citizens. Particular focus is given to the government-directed demolition of unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev desert. According to the author, some Israeli policymakers plan to compensate villagers for their land and help them integrate into Israeli society, but their efforts have been perceived by many Bedouins as coercive and similar to ethnic cleansing. Details on Bedouin land ownership concepts are presented. Other topics include relocation plans directed by Israeli official Ehud Prawer and the conflict's significance to tensions between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs.
