Al - Araqib village

The village Al - Araqib is a Bedouin settlement in the Negev desert that is unrecognize by the Israeli authorities that have been demolishing the village over and over again and still do today.

it is being supported by human rights activists, among them Jessica.

Among the many areas in which Jessica is active, the most impressive achievement is her ability to influence the resilience and inspiration for the struggle and the emotional support she provides to the residents of  Al - Araqib.

Through the initiatives for protest activities, active support in the execution of art projects in which she participates the residents of the village through the world of painting, in her consistent preoccupation with the tragedy of the village as a central theme in her works and their publication on the various platforms and in providing an emotional response to the village plights while expressing solidarity and human respect towards them in hosting them in her home and in her visits to the village.

The activity of Jessica along with Einat Weizman and other activists is a direct source of the people strength in their most difficult moments in the face of the rapacity and brutal violence of the state's enforcement forces towards them.
