200,000 Bedouins live in the Negev desert. Despite being citizens of Israel, the state demolishes their homes. Jaber Dababseh had planned to move his family into the cave occupied by his Bedouin ancestors. But it is not long until the cave is destroyed too: “This cave was about 200 years older than the state of Israel”. In some parts of the Negev, Israeli settlements are built on top of the rubble of Bedouin homes. In Khallat Al Dabba, settler Ariel Lamberger explains: “If we don’t sit here, the Arabs will sit here, and they’ll be closer to Tel Aviv and to Jerusalem". With nowhere else to live, the Bedouin have no choice but to start building again.
