Bedouin ways were hard even for those brought up to them, and for strangers, terrible: a death in life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being in the desert was brilliant and it was hard.
I am a Bedouin warrior who brought glory to Libya and will die a martyr.
It's often difficult to slough off all that we've acquired, all the comforts and safety nets modern life provides for us, and realize that in those days, people were living very much on the edge - life was incredibly hard!
I mean, my people were very, very simple. They were peasant people, you know?
People were incredibly kind to our family and went out of their way to help.
Finding shelter with nomads in the desert during summer was a matter of survival for me and my animals.
Wherever we halted we were surrounded by wandering troops of Bedouins.
I don't know how the poor farmers deal with such situations in real life. It's really sad.
'Arab Labor' was light, snappy. We got emotional over things, but from a safe place, from the terrace.
It is as pleasant as it is unusual to see thoroughly good people getting their deserts.
