Ethnic Cleansing?

What Ethnic Cleansing?
While we were sleeping!?
No, no way.

Sarcasm aside.

Over the night 1000+ police men demolished the Beduin village on El-Araqib situated in the Negev, just north of Beer Sheva (the largest Southern town).
The village had 30 houses and they've all been bulldozed.

I've only seen small update reports in the News websites and a few short blog-posts like on The Only Democracy and Mondoweiss.

The reason for this demolition?
The Jewish National Fund deemed the land designated for Jewish use only and are planning on planting a forest there.
No, really.

I can't believe I heard the report about this happening from Facebook.

Oh. Accidentally hit the truth square on, so hard that it hurts?

So, what, does Israel have penis envy or something that they're so insistent that all the land around is theirs by divine right and they won't share at all? (I've heard that they're all "If we live and let live, then THE EVIL PEOPLE WILL COME AGAIN TO KILL US ALL and we'll be POWERLESS TO STOP THEM.", which is kind of weird to me.)
