	Middle East Report Online: Bedouin in the Negev Face New "Transfer" by Jonathan Cook
		The Negev, some two thirds of the new state's land mass, was viewed as a huge tract that could absorb future Jewish immigration.
		The rest of the Negev, some 85 percent of the total land mass, was declared off limits, designated as blocs of military zones and conservation parks.
		The Negev area in which the Bedouin were concentrated came to be known as the "siege zone": a ring of Jewish settlements was established to contain the Bedouin, while their lands were further whittled away through the construction of industrial areas, more military zones and conservation parks, and an airport.

	The Bedouins of the Negev confront a modern society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Until 1948, the area of the Negev was characterized by Bedouin tent settlements.
		The Negev's towns have been characterized by limited employment opportunities, low wages, and more recently (at the end of the 80's and beginning of the 90's) by immigrants from Russia and Ethiopia.
		With regard the Bedouins of the Negev, the situation is more volatile on account of their lack of identification with the State, yet this the lack of identification will deepen if the group continues to see itself as treated unequally.

		Located south of Beersheba in the Central Negev, Makhtesh Ramon is usually referred to as a crater, but it is not an impact crater from a meteorite, it is actually a "makhtesh," a valley surrounded by steep walls and drained by a single "wadi" (riverbed).

	UJC - Israel21C: Negev Development on the Fast Track
		The dream of large-scale development and modernization of the southern Negev region is as old as the state of Israel itself, first articulated by the founding prime minister David Ben-Gurion, who chose to make the region his home, and now by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who considers his Negev ranch there his primary residence.
		Efforts to bring real change to the Negev have fallen by the wayside - they were not comprehensive or well-funded enough to counteract the tendencies of a population that has clung stubbornly to the central plain region and resisted moving south.
		True economic development in the Negev will mean the difference between the massive relocation of IDF families to the south, or officers who commute south for the day from their homes in greater Tel Aviv.

		If at one time it was assumed that inscriptions discovered in the Negev were but the traces of Thamudic tribes passing through the region, particularly along the main trade routes, this assemblage of inscriptions, as well as additional inscriptions, published and unpublished, now calls for a reevaluation of the subject.
		Their conclusion was that the inscriptions at Nahal `Avedat date to the period of the colonization of the Negev enacted by the Royal Kings of the House of Judah to secure safer trade lanes from the Gulf of Elath to the Mediterranean (six to eight hundred years before the dates suggested by Winnett).
		We have discovered a script in the Negev of Israel that appears to be a local variation of Proto-Canaanite [a generic formative script widely used among Canaanite peoples during the second millennium B.C.].

	Negev Arabs data deleted from statistical records - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Israeli central statistics office is deleting the data on the Arab residents living in the Negev desert to the south of the Palestinian occupied territories from its official statistics in a bid to obliterate their existence, Murad Al-Sane'a, a Palestinian lawyer, revealed.
		Sane'a charges that the step falls in line with Israel’s policy of removing all data which proves the existence of Palestinians and Arab inhabitants residing in those lands by claiming that new births are not included in the Israeli statistical records.
		Sane’a points out that the measure undertaken by Israel results in the Negev Arabs being deprived of basic services such as electricity, water networks, education, and health, whose distribution is made in accordance with the population density.
