Safe choice: Who should southern residents vote for?

With all due respect to the paving of roads and trains, the existential commodity that the residents of the Negev lack is personal security - and it is time for the residents of the south to give their voice to the parties that will commit to addressing the problem.

And what about personal security?

Why do Mizrahis and southern voters choose the Likud party?

Countless arrogant articles have been written on this issue in an attempt to perform an emotional psychological analysis for hundreds of thousands of voters, as if there were mice in the lab.

Bottom line, the trauma of the discriminatory Mapai regime, combined with the Beginist sentiment, still affects voting patterns. What all anthropologists from the media miss is the fact that voting patterns are maintained following the many budgets the Likud government has invested in developing the Negev and the south. All of these amount to billions every year,

but the many recent criminal incidents in the south and the sense of loss of personal security make many Negev residents feel that they may be cheaply trading in their political power.The government is not properly addressing the existential security threats that have made Dayan.

after years in which it seemed Negev residents have become accustomed to the situation in which their personal safety promiscuous, registered just waking up. two weeks sounds more and more voices calling for electoral lever to use force to eradicate crime and regulation of settlement in the Negev.

He realized that the future lay in the Negev, but no one dared to implement it.

Opening train stations in the periphery should not be underestimated, but it requires only money and resources.

In practice, government decisions regarding strategic plans for the development of the Negev made more than a decade ago are still stuck.

For example, the transfer of the Lycian Intelligence Corps, which could substantially accelerate the Negev forward, stuck in the High Court because of a technical issue has been a year. This followed since the decision on the transition, the army has anyone trying to cancel it.

The same applies to personal safety. Almost three weeks have passed since The horrific event of the rape of the 10-year-old girl, and no significant decisions have yet been made that indicate that what is happening in the Negev really concerns the Israeli government.

It is not enough to pave roads and trains, nor promises to build a civilian airport in Nabataeans. The Negev is security. David Ben-Gurion understood well that the future of the entire country lies in the Negev, but since then no leadership courage has been found to make it such. An area that covers 60% of the State of Israel, where only 8% of its inhabitants live. Simply a scandal and a strategic visual impairment.

Many Bedouin are also concerned about the extent of the crime.

The place of the state To this day, the explosive issue of regulating Bedouin settlement in the Negev has not been resolved, which ultimately has a significant contribution to increase crime and is a significant obstacle to the development of the south.

There are other factors that are causing an increase in crime such as polygamy, poverty, lack of infrastructure and development, and more recently Palestinian art.

All of these are paving parts of the sector for crime.

Imagine as a side view the childhood of a boy who grew up without electricity and water, walking in cold and heat to a school far from the unfamiliar village.

He grew up feeling discriminated against without a playground and a park near the house.

For him, crime is the way to a better life.

There are good people in the Bedouin sector who shout the same cry, but their voice is not heard.

This week, they stood side by side with Jews at demonstrations held in various centers throughout the Negev, demanding the return of governance.

Professors from Ben-Gurion University, doctors from Soroka Hospital and other normative people from the sector, carry weapons in their homes to protect their families from rising crime.

What-what-what did you do?

Last week, the prime minister was hosted at News 12 studio and with great talent managed to bring a new slogan, "na-na-na," into our lives.

All social networks and media have been captured in an instant, but let me ask you, Prime Minister: What-what-have you done to eradicate crime in the Negev in the last 12 years?

What-what-did you do to regulate the settlement of 25,000 Bedouin families still living in illegal settlements, some of which already had to be evacuated?

The week of the horrific act of sodomy on a 10-year-old girl was the turning point that made the residents of the Negev decide that this could not continue.

This week, Mr. Prime Minister, you had to convene a special emergency meeting and announce the establishment of a Bedouin area in the Israel Police alongside the southern area.

Allocate resources for the establishment of police stations in any recognized Bedouin settlement.

The residents of Lakia and Hura also deserve to have a police station.

This week you had to announce the doubling of the police force in the Yoav unit, which believes in enforcing illegal settlement in the Negev.

You had to devote resources to purchasing UAVs that would help the police deal with drug smugglers on the Egyptian border.

This week you had to work to change the security fire regulations in order to give the army tools to deal with weapons thefts, and the police to deal with drug smugglers on the Egyptian border.

This week you had to double the amount of workers and budgets available to the Bedouin Settlement Authority, with the manpower available to them today and the existing budgets it will take them another 100 years, at best, to settle the issue.

Today they are able to regulate the situation of less than 500 families a year, but they have to find a solution for 25,000 families.

In the last year, when there was no budget, everything stopped.

This week you had to promote bills tailored to eradicate the unique nature of crime that southern residents suffer from.

This week, the Minister of Homeland Security tweeted in astonishment that he had discovered that there is no section in the law that prohibits protection.

It is said that it is better late than never, but the fact that for years the South has been suffering from the collection of sponsorship fees and only now have you discovered that there is no law, is particularly annoying.

This week you had to decide on increasing resources for the Bedouin cities that cater to the thousands of transparent citizens living in the illegal villages.

Those same cities were not designed to serve thousands of other people and so the cycle of poverty that escalates into crime grew.

What-what-what instead of na-na-na.

Instead of all this and in a rather frustrating way, a Supreme Court ruling was handed down this week regarding the illegal takeover of the area in the Bir Hadaj area.

The Bir Hadaj scatterbrain is known to the police due to the fact that some of its residents have been linked to the many crime cases that have occurred in recent times.

The suspect in the Sodom affair in a 10-year-old girl is a resident of Bir Hadaj, others from the illegal village are connected to the drug industry in the fire areas of the nearby Tze'elim base, as well as the theft of ammunition from Tze'alim and IDF fighters Illegal settlement and crime and it is clear that the state is not doing enough to eradicate the phenomenon and the justice system chooses not to intervene in the issue and thus intensifies it. The

focus of the petition is the legal landowners of Bir Hadaj, who petitioned the High Court a decade ago to order the state Give an expectation of the evacuation of the invaders from their territory.

In 2000, the state temporarily transferred about 15 families to the area near Kibbutz Revivim, and since then about 1,000 more families from the Al-Azzama tribe have invaded the land and settled illegally on thousands of dunams of state and private land, building hundreds of illegal structures.

In 2003, the state decided to establish a legal and regulated settlement on state lands for the invaders.

Each family was offered a grant of hundreds of thousands of shekels and a plot of land measuring five dunams, but these did not agree to vacate.

The court recognized the serious problem and thus stated in the ruling "The state can not agree to a situation where there will be areas within its territory where" a man who is honest in his eyes will do "" and yet the High Court chose to reject the petition and not expect the evacuees to evacuate.

Despite

the incompetence of the authorities and the contribution of the judiciary to increasing the default in dealing with the problem.

Despite the media noise and the many demonstrations that took place this week across the south, no comprehensive plan is in sight. Instead, the government repeatedly chose to act tactically rather than strategically. The Negev has become accustomed to a reality in which their personal security is compromised, and many initiatives are now being registered on the ground calling for parties to present a comprehensive, strategic and timely plan to address the burning problems.Negev

residents are clearly racing against the clock, already facing many challenges. Years and unsolvable in a decade.The Negev must not remain only as Ben-Gurion's vision, or as a vision at all - and the people of the south understand that their political power is one of the main tools for changing the situation.
