Diwaniyya

Bedouins are a unique entity in the Middle East.  They have a very distinct culture and identity.  Yet, this culture and identity is ever changing, depending on where they live and external pressures.  With the November 2013 protests of the Prawer-Begin Plan, Bedouins were on the forefront of Israeli and international news.
