    Friends and families participate in a traditional Bedouin dance during a wedding in one of the small Bedouin villages. A music system is rented from outside, a sheep has been slaughtered and water is constantly being boiled for coffee and tea. The women celebrate in a separate tent in the opposite end of the village. Despite their vulnerable situation, the Bedouins keep the spirit high. Views[363] Sulieman and Tiger plays on the hill behind their Bedouin village while Ali plays a game on his cell phone. In the background is one of Israel’s largest settlements, Ma’ale Adumim. The boys have never been in the settlement – it is forbidden to the inhabitants of the Bedouin communities. Views[420] Abu Khamis helps his daughters with the Arabic homework for the next day. The family lives in one of the small villages that are at risk of demolition. Views[446] The Bedouins have traditionally lived a pastural lifestyle taking their herds of goats and sheep into the desert to graze. The animals are still a very important part of the life of many Bedouin families. Views[407] On the West Bank, thousands of Bedouins live in fear of eviction, as Israel wishes to relocate them to a city in order to create space for new Israeli settlements. The Bedouins do not want to move - they are afraid it will lead to the end of their culture and traditional lifestyle. Views[462]
