- So why does this article focus on the plight of the Bedouin in Israel alone? —Aiden 20:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

- Because that was what someone happened to know about, and want to write about. Lack of completeness does not equate to POV. --Stbalbach 20:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Why are no tribes listed from Egypt or Libya?
[edit] Edited "Bedouin Tribes and Populations" Section
I have edited the Tribal section, and added more tribes, and removed tribes, many were fictional, others were part of a larger tribe. I have left only the notable tribes only.
[edit] Edited "Bedouin Culture"
I've expanded this section quite a bit. Enjoy. I may add more on nomad-village interactions at a later date. Fishies Plaice 11:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
several more comments:
there is NO tribe by the name of Sudair in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere. Sudair is a geographical region south of riyadh.
Otaiba tribe is the prominent tribe in the central region and very influential. It should be added.
Also Qahtan (Nejd branch) and Harb.
[edit] Valid Tribe?
IS there a valid tribe named Bani Johma, as referenced in the article Gharaibeh? If so, should it be listed? Viscouse 19:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
