Israel’s illegal activities against Arabs take place within Israel proper and not just the West Bank. Here is an article on the plight of the Bedouin.
“The Bedouin village of Wadi al-Naam sits under the shadow of a chemical industrial zone. Following the dusty road off the highway, it emerges from the left, dark and oppressive, an architectural catastrophe. 4,000 people live in the vicinity of Ramat Hovav, Israels toxic waste dump one of 17 chemical plants in the area. Opened in 1975, it has left a trail of wreckage adding to the dire situation: high infant mortality rates, cancer and numerous other health effects from the effluent, 97% of the village population on national insurance. The electric power lines run past the village yards away connecting nobody to the grid…The Ministry of Health, unwilling to expose their doctors to the health hazards from the plant does not provide health services in the village.”
