Description



Earthwork preparation for the planting of the Jewish
National Fund Ambassador Forest as part of its afforestation campaign to
provide a green belt around the city of Beersheba. In the summer of 2010, the
homes of the Abu Jāber, Abu Mdīghem, and Abu Freiḥ families, of the al-Tūri
tribe, which were on the site surrounding the two remaining trees, were
demolished, and the families expelled. The land is currently claimed by the
Bedouin community as part of the surrounding area of the unrecognized village
of al-ʽAraqīb.


From the publication The
Erasure Trilogy, Volume 4: Desert Bloom (Notes)
(Göttingen:
Steidl, 2015).
