Without electricity, running water, medical clinics or schools, over 76,000 Bedouins, Israeli citizens, face ethnic cleansing and subjugation by the state as home demolitions and civil rights violations continue on a near-daily basis; we’ll visit two communities under siege and talk with a leader of an organization working inside Bedouin villages, trying to bring much-needed attention to the troubling crisis.
