Those are the words of a court ruling in Israel (slightly paraphrased). This is why I'm down on Zionism: ethnic cleansing. From the Sunday Herald in scotland:
Both the Ottoman Empire and the British in Palestine in the 1920s
acknowledged Bedouin rights, but the Israeli government refuses to
accept their land claims. As a consequence, the 45 unrecognised
villages have no legal status and are not signposted on roads or marked
on official maps…

One factor in the removal of the Bedouin, according to the RCUV, is
to make space for 250,000 new Jewish immigrants over the next five
years, as part of a plan called Blueprint Negev to develop the south
because of overpopulation in the north. At least 59 new Jewish settlements have been established in the Negev.
