Shattering Israel's image of 'democracy'

In the Negev, an area targeted for so-called 'development', lies the Israel that its government does not want to be seen
A struggle over land, home demolitions, and an Israeli government working with Jewish agencies to "develop" the land for the benefit of one group at the expense of another. It could be a picture of the illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, but in fact, it's inside Israel – in the Negev.
