Fazal Sheikh/Eyal Weizman: The Conflict Shoreline: Colonialism as Climate Change in the Negev Desert

not his typical work

Beautifully designed book

Lets start with some facts. Palestinian Bedouin do not exist. There are Palestinians and there are Bedouins who both happen to be of Arab descent. Conflating them is a sign of bias. Second, Bedouin are nomadic people who have never believed in the concept of land title. Simply by squatting in certain places they have laid claim to land that by law is not theirs. Its sad when nomadic groups interact with modern law based systems but unfortunately progress does not allow for individuals to squat on land and then claim ownership.

Enlightening book, documenting the great injustice being done to the Bedouins by Israel.
