Development?
Here is my second venture into radio. A feature on the villages of Umm Al Heran and Attir, which are slated for demolition by Israel’s governmental authorities. Young Tasneem Abu Al Qian was my guide. First broadcast on FSRN.
Palestinian Jaffa
In May, Israelis celebrate Independence Day while Palestinians commemorate the Nakba (Disaster). One history still intersecting in vastly different ways with the lives of two peoples. Published on EI.
Forced Closure of Bedouin Settlements
This one is from the village of Umm Al Heran. An unrecognized Bedouin village in the Negev, southern Israel. Although home to some 700 people, it is slated for demolition.
Resisting Erasure
This is a sample from my ongoing photo-documentary on Al Araqib. Al Araqib is a Bedouin village in the Negev, southern Israel. Despite pre-dating the state of Israel, the village is deemed ‘illegal’ by state authorities, which have planned to plant a Jewish National Fund forest in its place.
Verona app: Montecchi e Capuleti in medio oriente?
Ho parlato con Matthew Nolan, che non è un programmatore qualunque, lui la tecnologia la vuole usare per abbattere le barriere che ci separano. E così ha creato un’app per far avvicinare (e magari innamorare) palestinesi e israeliani.

Why I will vote Joint List
This story came out in the run up to the Israeli parliamentary elections in March 2015. The Joint List was breathing new hope into Israeli politics. In Tel Aviv, I asked both its Jewish and Palestinians supporters what is special about it.

Here I talk about how Bedouins living in unrecognized villages in the Negev, with the help of local and international civil society organizations, defy government attempts at erasing them from the map.
Al Araqib is demolished
This one is a photo-story about the demolition of the unrecognized Bedouin village of Al Araqib on 12 June 2014.
