Hundreds of Arab Bedouins sound off against Israeli government resettlement plans set for parliamentary approval.<br/> <br />The demonstrations turn violent.<br/> <br />While the majority of Israel's Arab citizens live in cities and small towns, there are some 200,000 Bedouins who live in the southern desert in so-called "unrecognized" villages without running water, electricity or sanitation.<br/> <br />But now a draft law, set for a final vote before the end of the year would slash the number of those villages and relocate some 40,000 Bedouins into townships.<br/> <br />Israel says it will help a long neglected segment of the population.<br/> <br />But it's an offer Bedouins would like to refuse.<br/> <br />Police say 10 officers were wounded in the clashes with 11 people arrested.
