Bedouin Community in West Bank Forced to Abandon Homes (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Suleyman Ghawanmeh points out the four Israeli settler outposts that have made life here impossible. He is besieged. After decades on this land, the last family in this Palestinian Bedouin community is being forced out. This is all that's left of what was once a thriving Palestinian Bedouin community here. More than 100 families, some 700 people all together. And now they've had to abandon this area. This is what is happening across the West Bank. Dozens of Bedouin communities have been displaced over the course of the last two plus years. Standing in what was once his home, Suleyman begins to explain how difficult this all is. Enough, he says. That's about all he can muster. He is overwhelmed with emotion. So we're driving up to this settler community now, which is part of the group of outposts that have been harassing this Palestinian community of Ras al-Ain al-Auja. We're going to see if we can ask them a few questions. We introduce ourselves to the first settler we see. We don't accept journalists, he tells me, before ushering us away. You can't tell us what happened. We just want to understand why the Palestinians here are being forced to leave. The next man isn't any more willing to answer our questions. He starts filming us and then they call the police. In what remains of Ras al-Ain al-Auja, the departing residents are setting fire to what they are leaving behind. A final act of defiance for a community overpowered but unbroken.
