YOUR PRESENCE IS NEEDED FOR THE OLIVE HARVEST IN PALESTINE
Resisting the Occupation by Insisting on Life
Throughout the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian land has been and continues to be confiscated by the Israeli government. Illegal Israeli colonies are built on occupied Palestinian land; more land is confiscated to build roads that encircle Palestinian villages but are not for use by Palestinians; Palestinians are locked up in their towns and villages as Israeli soldiers stand guard; Palestinians are not allowed to access their own property; crops go bad and the Palestinian economy worsens; oppression is ingrained but not accepted.
Since October 2000, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian trees have been bulldozed, uprooted or set ablaze by Israeli soldiers and settlers - 200,000 of these olive trees. Olive trees are a symbol of the life of the Palestinian, and their destruction by Israeli forces is an attempt to de-root the Palestinians from their land.
