The village of al-'Araqib has been destroyed and rebuilt more§than seventy times in the ongoing "battle over the Negev,"§an Israeli state campaign to uproot the Palestinian Bedouins§from the northern threshold of the desert. Unlike other frontiers§fought over during the Israel-Palestine confl ict, this one§is not demarcated by fences and walls but by shifting climatic§conditions. The threshold of the desert advances and recedes§in response to colonization, cultivation, displacement, urbanization, and, most recently, climate change. In his§response to Sheikh's "Desert Bloom" series (part of Sheikh's§The Erasure Trilogy, published by Steidl), Eyal Weizman's§essay incorporates historical aerial photographs, contemporary§remote sensing data, state plans, court testimonies, and§nineteenth-century travelers' accounts, exploring the Negev's§threshold as a "shoreline" along which climate change and§political confl ict are deeply and dangerously entangled.
