News Flash: Bedouin-Arab Town Was Strongest Netanyahu Supporter in Elections [Israel]

Deebo at Israellycool looks at some interesting statistics from the Israeli elections.
One of the facts reported is that the most pro-Likud town in Israel is the village of All Naim, where 77% voted Likud.
Al Naim is a Bedouin Arab town.
Why did they vote for Bibi? NRG went there and asked.
Until 1999 the Bedouin village was not known, and for years it waged a war against the Israeli authorities demanding recognition and minimum conditions for life such as electrical and sewage connections.
In the past two years, things have changed dramatically. Now there is a paved main street half a mile long as well as other roads and construction of over 80 houses. This week a contractor began work for laying a sewer line. “Within a few months we will have a village sewer and electricity and we are pleased,” says Nimer Naim, community leader.
I read a similar article in Front Page; these Bedouins are wise people to be at peace with Israel.
