They were displaced from the southern Negev desert around 1950 shortly after the creation of Israel. In what\u2019s seen as a gradual process since the 1970s, state-sponsored Jewish settlements mushroomed up all along the desert, limiting the Bedouins\u2019 nomadic way of life. Over the past four decades they were pushed down the valley close to a hazardous highway while Jewish settlements and outposts dotted the Judean hilltops. The Bedouin shacks are routinely demolished by the Israeli Civil Administration on the grounds that they are built without (impossible to get) \u2018building permits\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Shlomo Lecker is an Israeli lawyer who defies all stereotypes. He is a Jew who fights for the Arab Bedouins. He is an Israeli who challenges the Israeli judiciary. The film explores Lecker\u2019s personal relationship with his clients \u2013 the lone Israeli who claims that he has a Bedouin soul. The twist in the story and the interesting polarities of his character are revealed when the director confronts him in his house \u2013 formerly abandoned by Palestinian refugees in 1948.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Land for the Nomads\u2019 narratively observes issues that are between the personal and the national, the modern and the traditional, the exotic and the familiar, with irony and humor that make the film accessible to a wider audience.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruthfilms.com\/films\/new-releases\/land-for-the-nomads.html\">Click here to watch!<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A documentary film by Lipika Pelham\u00a0about Shlomo Lecker, lawyer for the Jahalin.
