Since 1967 Israel has razed over 800,000 Palestinian olive trees
“Since 1967 Israel has
razed over 800,000 Palestinian olive trees, the equivalent to destroying
Central Park 33 times over
This
week marked the start of the annual Palestinian olive harvest, an ancient
tradition on which 80,000 families still rely for their livelihoods. Yet these
families face growing economic hardship due to Israeli land confiscations,
access restrictions, settler attacks, and not least the widespread uprooting,
destruction and theft of the trees themselves.
