(Ynet News) Yahel Ili Benami - Al-Sayed is a small Bedouin tribal community of about 6,000 people nestled between Arad and Beersheba in Israel's Negev desert. Ibrahim al-Sayed, principal of the Amal al-Sayed Multidisciplinary School in the al-Qasum Regional Council, sees no conflict between the Bedouin and Israeli identities. Ibrahim worked with his students to hang Israeli flags throughout their village in honor of Israel's upcoming 75th anniversary. "We all live for this country, we must integrate and not get stuck in the past. I refuse to feel ashamed for displaying the Israeli flag on my watch," he said. Ibrahim explains that he upholds the tradition that his father passed down to him by hanging the national flag at the entryway to the settlement every year.
