Israel’s treatment of Bedouins smacks of apartheid
I read in the Financial Times (30 June) that the Israeli government intends moving hundreds of Bedouins to make way for a new settlement of some 3 000 new homes on the West Bank.

This is similar to the activities of the South African racist apartheid government which we witnessed over a long period – including the removal of people from Sophiatown to Soweto, and the dumping of people from Pageview to Lenasia some 25km away from central Johannesburg. Many other forced removals took place.
What puzzles me is the fact that Israel does not own the West Bank, but merely occupies it.
This is most disturbing!
