The State of Israel is slowly expropriating the rights of the residents of the south.
At first it is not a protection of our freedom of movement.
During the hours of darkness, in some places in the Negev it is impossible to move safely.
If you are a woman, the same is true during the day: blatant sexual harassment by the Bedouin in the middle of a shopping center or park in the heart of the Negev capital has turned into a trivial matter, which goes unanswered.
Women in the Negev stopped complaining about the harassment, but also stopped going out into the public space freely.
Personally, as a mother of 5, I will not travel with her to the major shopping centers in the Negev because I will not be able to explain to her later why such and such cries were heard.
As a wife and mother, I was expelled from the shopping centers and most of the parks in my city for the maintenance of these buildings I pay property taxes legally.
The Israeli government has spoken out against the status of women, but there is silence in the face of the sexual harassment of women and girls in the Negev.
Meirav Michaeli, the bearer of this flag, swallows frog after frog and her voice dies down.
I wonder what would have happened if these two-day cases had happened in Tel Aviv or Ramat Gan, God forbid.
And if freedom of movement was not enough, so did the issue of private property.
With the prosecution of Aryeh Schiff, and even more so - in view of the shocking demand for an actual imprisonment of 4 years, the State of Israel took away my right to property or at least to protect it.
We also check our homes time and time again that we have locked them well - not necessarily because there is precious property but because there are infinitely precious diamonds inside: our children.
And southerners are really anxious for their children.
Real fear.
60% of Israel's sovereign division is bleeding and dying.
A leader is needed here, who will put this piece of land in the forefront of his mind.
The last one to be like this is the first prime minister, but it seems that since then no one really cares about the Negev.
The residents of the south need a modern-day Ben-Gurion.
