The economic impact of Israeli policies on the olive sector has been massive –millions of dollars lost to damage in the past three years, and millions more to Israel's barring farmers from their land. And these policies are designed to have impact not just now, but for years to come – olive trees produce for generations.
During last year’s one month Olive Harvest Campaign, 200 civilians from all over the world joined us in the Occupied Palestinian Territories as a front to this policy of starvation and ethnic cleansing.

Internationals accompanying Palestinian farmers helped ensure access to fields and groves in some cases and helped highlight Israel’s war on Palestinian survival in cases were access was violently denied.
