Al-Araqib | Shadi Jaber 

This picture was taken in October 2019, in a village called Al-Araqib in the Negev. This village has been demolished by the Israel police 172 times; each time, the Al- Araqib community rebuilt their village. Al-Araqib community rejects Israel’s discriminatory practices against them and works together to fight a policy that seeks to destroy their community as well as confiscate their land. In this picture, we can see Al-Araqib village. People from this village remain on their land without houses. Around them, we can see Palestinian youth from different areas who decided to take the responsibility and the initiative to support them. I do believe that this picture represents the deep meaning of empowerment and reflects the power of people to achieve their rights and to support each other.
