  == Negev Bedouins ==  Hi LamaLoLeshLa! I would really like to collaborate with you on this topic, but my knowledge is based only on personal experience (which, by the way, dates back to my life in Arad, much earlier than the army), and I don't really have reliable sources for any of that. If I have time, I'll do some research, although as you said yourself, the crime element is taboo (as in, it's never talked about), so I doubt that there are many books (if at all) detailing the subject. I'll try to look up some statistics and Israel Police statements, although statistics alone cannot make a good article.  You are incorrect in that Israel Beitenu is anti-Bedouin. It is mostly anti-people-who-don't-serve-in-the-army-or-do-national-service, which happens to be most Bedouins, unfortunately. My experience with Negev Bedouins who do serve in the army has mostly been negative as well (Negev Bedouins are much more aggressive and undisciplined than their Galilee counterparts), although considering I ran a detention center, I guess it's non-representative. In any case, I am not racist and have an open mind about this issue, although admittedly my sympathy for the Negev Bedouins' plight went from high (before the army) to extremely low today. That, however, is for a discussion forum. I'll see what I can do with the article in due time.  Cheers,
