Does anyone have a good source on what "Bedouin living in an area" used to mean in the 1920s-40s in the Galilee? How nomadic, how sedentary, did they have different seasonal (winter & summer) encampments, only tents or also houses, etc., etc.? Otherwise, we're repeating empty phrases. Traditional Bedouin tribes used to roam over very large tracts of land, which no other tribe could use without using force; no modern state though, Jordan for instance included, does accept that as "real estate property" in the modern sense.Arminden (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2015 (UTC)ArmindenArminden (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
