	FrontPage magazine.com :: Beduin Who Fight and Die for Israel by Judy Lash Balint
		Beduin are not obligated to serve in Israel's Defense Forces (IDF), and only around 400 young men from Beduin tribes are presently volunteering.
		The Beduin population in Israel's southern Negev region is estimated at 145,000, with an additional 40,000 in the Galilee.
		Current Israeli policy is to try to concentrate the majority of Beduin into seven small towns, in an effort to control the spiraling lawlessness, and to provide education to enable them to compete in a 21st century economy.

		BEDUIN CONSIDER themselves the original Arabs and are proud that they continue to live the lifestyle of their ancestors.

		The beduin, with one of the highest fertility rates in the world and a semi-nomadic way of life, are seen as posing a severe threat to these ambitions.
		If the beduin can be forced out of their villages, their place will be taken by 14 exclusive Jewish settlements and dozens more private farmsteads, modelled on Sharon's own huge agricultural estate in the Negev, known as Sycamore Ranch.
		Nonetheless, government ministers and officials accuse the beduin of "invading state lands" by refusing to be moved from their historic villages.

		But there's no denying that their cultural upbringing as Beduin, both in the Negev and throughout Galilee, have equipped them with sensitivities that make them invaluable in the 37-year-old fight against Palestinian infiltration and, more specifically, against the suicide bombings of the past four years.
		Beduin who sociologically used to be the most backward of Israel's Arab minorities were also for long the most loyal to Israel.
		It is not too late to reverse that trend and single out the Muslim Beduin for special affirmative treatment while clamping down on other dangerous trends such as polygamic marriages by some of their newly-affluent men with Palestinian women from the Gaza Strip.

	Saudi Arabia - Beduin Economy in Tradition and Change
		The word beduin is derived from the Arabic word bawaadin (sing., baadiya), meaning nomads, and is usually associated with a camel-herding life in the desert.
		Wealthy beduin frequently established a branch of the family in an oasis with commercial and agricultural investments.
		A study among Al Saar beduin shows that urban migration of men resulted in increased work for women and, at the same time, denied them the economic benefits of government programs designed to improve the welfare of nomadic families.

		Beduin's announcement last month of its Impact Web browser for wireless smart phones is only its first in a series of products — the "sandbox that controls the whole environment", according to Tennant.
		At a tiny 260k of memory, Beduin said the Impact browser is less than one-third the size of its nearest competitor for the burgeoning Web-accessible smart phone market.
		Beduin has already sold the Java-based browser to a Canadian telecommunications manufacturer and expects a soaring marketplace for all-in-one cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and wireless Internet-access devices.

		But the joyous occasion was marred by representatives of a Beduin tribe who cursed the new Jewish settlement, threatening to make their lives miserable until the land was given to them.
		About half of the 135,000 Negev Beduin have squatted on what they claim as tribal land, with the rest in seven towns, despised by Beduin leaders for their crime and poverty.
		But to the west and north as far as the horizon are clusters of Beduin settlements, mostly tin huts with corralled sheep in unrecognized "villages." Behind them, the mosques of the Beduin city of Rahat dot the horizon.

		The precise size of Syria's beduin population is not known, although in the mid-1980s it was estimated at less than 7 percent.
		Nevertheless, the nomad remains a highly romantic and admired figure in folklore, and his pride, independence, sensitive honor, and disdain for agricultural or other manual labor are influential values among villagers, especially near the margins of the desert.
		Beduin in Syria are not considered poor or underprivileged people; in fact, many beduin tribes are regarded as very wealthy by Syrian standards because of their ownership of large flocks of sheep--a valuable commodity.
