Produced and Directed by Nirah Elyza Shirazipour, the film discusses how the state of Israel is striving to sedentarize this historically nomadic indigenous population by uprooting them from their culture and community through the denial of basic resources, house demolitions, land appropriation and strategic exposure to industrial pollution.
In the filmmakers own words, “the struggle of the Bedouin of the Naqab is critical to understanding Israel’s apartheid policies and agendas, especially as manifest upon all minority communities within its own supposed borders.”
It’s also one that the pro-Palestinian movement should support, now more than ever. Israel is getting ready to evict as many as 40,000 Bedouins from the Naqab. If there was ever a time for the pro-Palestinian movement to show solidarity, it is now.

Wow this video is just too funny! Beware the milkman--they are always so healthy and in shape from all the good raw milk they drink and hard work they do. I guess they just can't help but be good and wholesomely sexy, with a strong libido to boot. That's probably where all those tales we used to hea ...
