Recently Badash announced that thousands of acres around Omer would be forested with the intention of stopping the Bedouin from returning to the area once they had been evicted.Tarabin, 33, accused the police of being little more than hired hands carrying out Badash’s plan.”We are being suffocated. There are night-time searches of our homes using bogus pretexts, and arrests of young children. We are photographed and questioned as we go about our business. At the roadblocks they endlessly check cars entering and leaving, and fines are issued. No one visits us unless they have to, and we stay home unless we have to leave.”He added: “Why is it so impossible for Omer to imagine allowing us to be a neighborhood of the town?”
