This
month, Palestinian farmers in the Israeli-occupied West
Bank will brave Israeli army checkpoints and curfews, apartheid
fences and walls, and likely attacks by Israeli settlers simply to harvest
their olives trees.
For
centuries, these olive trees have formed the backbone of Palestinian agriculture.
Yet as this 9-minute documentary below shows, as part of its illegal military
occupation, Israel has systematically
uprooted these Palestinian olive trees by the thousands to clear land for
illegal Israeli settlements, apartheid fences and walls, and to dispossess
Palestinian farmers of their lands and livelihoods.
| You
can help Palestinian farmers remain
steadfast on their land and non-violently resist Israeli occupation by
donating money to replant an olive tree. The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is proud to partner with
Zatoun and its Trees for Life program to replant olive trees in Palestine. |
