Fotografije prikazuju kako izraelski barjaci i nova naselja menjaju život palestinskih pastira u Jordanskoj dolini i Masafer Jati. UN je zabeležio 761 napad naseljenika između januara i aprila 2026. godine i skoro 2.000 raseljenih. Zbog bezbednosnih pretnji mnogi pastiri menjaju rute, prodaju stada ili traže alternativne izvore prihoda, dok zajednice organizuju noćne straže.
Pod barjacima: Kako naselja menjaju život palestinskih pastira u Masafer Jati i Jordanskoj dolini

Plavi i beli izraelski barjaci vijore se na brežuljcima i pored puteva okupirane Zapadne Obale, postajući sve prisutniji u pejzažu koji poznaju palestinski pastiri. Za zajednice u Jordanskoj dolini i Masafer Jati to nije samo vizuelna promena, već i svakodnevna pretnja koja im sve više sužava slobodu kretanja i mogućnost da zarađuju za život.
Thiab Draghme i njegov brat Ayman vode svoje stado preko osušenih brežuljaka u potrazi za pašnjakom. Njihove rute su pažljivo planirane: neki pašnjaci više nisu bezbedni zbog čestih napada naseljenika, dok do drugih treba ići uz prisustvo izraelskih aktivista koji dokumentuju susrete i, kako kažu, pružaju vidljivu zaštitu.
„Mi smo ljudi velikodušnosti i gostoprimstva. Želimo da živimo u miru,“ kaže Thiab, otac osmoro dece. Dodaje da su mu deca odrasla uz rušenja, raseljavanja i neizvesnost: "Kakva je to budućnost za dete?"
Ograničen pristup i rastuće tenzije
Prema podacima UN-ove humanitarne agencije, napadi naseljenika su naglo porasli 2026. godine: između januara i aprila zabeleženo je 761 napad povezan sa izraelskim naseljenicima, a skoro 2.000 ljudi je raseljeno zbog nasilja i ograničenja pristupa. Nove privremene tačke i širenje postojećih naselja dodatno izoluju čitave zajednice.
Rizik se ne svodi samo na direktne sukobe. Jedan spor oko požara u niskom rastinju doveo je naseljenike, Palestince, vojsku i policiju na isti brežuljak; nakon optužbi je zadržan jedan Palestinac i jedan izraelski aktivista, a potom pušteni istog dana. U takvom okruženju mnoge porodice menjaju način života: neki pastiri više ne vode stoku na tradicionalne pašnjake, dok su drugi prodali čitava stada.
Blizu sela Taybeh, severoistočno od Ramale, porodica Shome Kaabneh prodala je sve ovce nakon što je izraelski punkt podignut pored njihove kuće. Njen suprug sada radi u građevinarstvu i zarađuje znatno manje nego dok su prodavali mlečne proizvode. U nekim delovima, porodice ostavljaju izraelske zastave koje su nametnuli naseljenici, jer bi njihovo uklanjanje moglo da izazove odmazdu.
Dan po dan
Kako veče pada nad Masafer Jatom, muškarci se okupljaju na molitvu ispred kuća, dok naseljenici upravljaju kvadovima pre nego što se povuku u svoje punktove nekoliko stotina metara dalje. Stanovnici organizuju noćne straže i smenjuju se kako bi upozorili komšije na približavanje naseljenika.
Svakodnevica i dalje nosi elemente starog života — ovce se vode u brda, deca se igraju među šatorima i kućama, porodice popravljaju ograde i pripremaju obroke — ali pod horizontom koji sve više prekrivaju nove izgradnje i privremeni punktovi, budućnost tih zajednica ostaje neizvesna.
