H/T to Mal for the video of this exceptional person with a real spirit of community. Yoel Zilberman formed a cadre of volunteers who patrol the land inside Israel's internationally recognized borders to prevent damage to life and property. The perpetrators are Bedouins and others:

The story is amazing if not surprising at all. The authorities don't want to be bothered. No bureaucrat wants to take responsibility. The government doesn't want the hassle, and the international NGO infrastructure is standing by to take the side of the lawbreakers against the property owners. Sound familiar?

The the that I kept wondering was what do they do if they confront or catch someone? Certainly if violence occurs the defenders will be blamed.
