Before the creation the state of Israel in 1940s, groups of Bedouin Arabs lived a semi-nomadic life in the forbidding expanses in the Negev desert. In modern times as many have settled in what's known as unrecognized villages. _______________________ But the Bedouin and their supporters see the move as a smoke screen for program to cut the historic links between the Arab communities and their land and to replace them with new Jewish settlements. 20世纪40年代以色列建国之前,阿拉伯贝都因人便在内盖夫沙漠环境恶劣的地方过着半游牧式的生活.现在,许多人则定居在所谓的不被认可的村庄.________________________但贝都因人及其支持者将这一举动视为一种障眼法,其目的是要切断阿拉伯团体与其土地之间历史联系,并在这里建立新的犹太人定居点.
