completely different town but it’s the closest one to al-Araqib. So, my wife has to wake up at 5:30 am to prepare all the children so they can go to school clean and be on time. I really don’t understand this, even a student has to suffer and go through all of this suffering to have an education. There are no medical services in al-Araqib. If it’s an emergency, it’s really hard for an ambulance to get to the village because the village is unrecognized and it doesn’t exist on any Israeli maps. This means that the ambulance driver won’t be able to find the village. People rely on their private cars and anyone who doesn’t have a private car would ask their neighbor to borrow their car or someone would just offer a ride. Basically, we have no public transportation at all; this is why we rely on our private cars or on any private car available in the village. Even when you look at our place of residence on our ID, it’s doesn’t say al-Araqib because they [Israel] don’t recognize it, it actually says Rahat. We have a well in the village, and we go to the well to fill water into buckets and then come back to our homes. We’re in a modern age, you would expect that we would have a water network and some kind of tap and sink, but no, we still go to the well every day. This is all to make life hard for Bedouins, to make us want to leave to the cities where everything is available. Israel wants us to leave because they want to take our land; they want to confiscate the land. If you hear about people leaving their land, you should know that they have been forced to leave. You know, they don’t provide us services to increase the pressure on us; they want to pressure us as much as possible to make us leave. This is the main Israeli goal; they want to have a minimum number of Israeli Jews on the maximum amount of land, and have the maximum number of Palestinians on the smallest amount of land.” A. al-Turi, al-Araqib. Interview: 23 February 2017 “I am married and I have many daughters and sons. All of them are educated, just like the rest of my family. Our villages [referred to as unrecognized villages] have existed for hundreds of years, even before the creation of Israel, but we still don’t have water, electricity, or health centers. They don’t give us any of these services on purpose. The recognized villages get services, such as electricity, sanitation, clinics, water, schools and transportation.
