 Alternative Palestinian Agenda
In other cases, such as that of Tel Al-Mileh, where more recent land confiscations took place, Bedouin were removed directly from their lands to the government planned urban townships (Shamir, 1996; Falah, 1989b; Marx, 1990; Maddrell, 1990).
Elections for local authorities in Rahat and Tel Sheva were held in 1988 and 1992 respectively, because of High Court orders that, for the first time, allowed the residents of the two oldest planned Bedouin towns to exercise the basic right of electing their local community officials.
As such this indicator does not convey the relative deprivation of citizens in the Bedouin towns, or the depth of the tensions that the massive socio-economic gaps with their affluent neighbors is bound to create (Lithwick, 2000).

On 12 September 2004, the Beer el-Sabe (Beer Sheva) District Court ordered the Beer el-Sabe Municipality and the Ministry of Education (MOE) to pay the external students’ fees and transportation costs for over 100 students, Palestinian citizens of Israel, as required by law.
The District Court’s ruling came in response to a petition filed on 9 September 2004 by Adalah Attorney Marwan Dalal on behalf of five fathers of the affected students against the Beer el-Sabe Municipality and the Ministry of Education (MOE), after the respondents refused to pay these expenses.
The decision to withhold payment affected approximately 80 Arab students who were to continue their studies in Tel el-Sabe, and an additional 25 students who sought to register in Tel el-Sabe for the 2004-2005 academic year.

Tel Sheva, where the sisters live, is a town in the Negev that is inhabited mainly by Israeli Beduin.
Two of the three sisters, Laila and Sabah are both widows but remain in Tel Sheva, apparently because they are reluctant to give up their Israeli citizenship (imagine that: they wouldn't rather be citizens of Hamastan).
