Queen of the desert / Yaron Sasson

British tourist who married Bedouin man 17 years ago, converted to Islam, and made Negev her home aims to make a change in Bedouin society in terms of treatment of women and animals ... The Israel Land Administration recently razed the unrecognized village of al-Arakib, north of Rahat, for the sixth time. Janice, like her friends, is very uncomfortable with the situation. "It's hard for me to see this. It's their land," she says. "It's very hard to put a person who has been free all these years between four walls. My husband's father lives in a tent next to his home. It was hard for him to move into a house."
