Take Action: Replant Olive Trees in Palestine

Take Action: Replant Olive Trees in Palestine

October 6th, 2009

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.

 

For
every $25 tax-deductible contribution
you make to support the work of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation,
we will replant one olive tree in Palestine. Donate $100 and we will replant
five trees.
