Join the Olive Harvest In the Shadow of the Wall, Saturday, Oct. 25
Israelis and Palestinians harvesting together
=      ==       =      ==       =       ==       =      ==       =      ==      = 

The olive harvest is underway in the occupied territories. 

In addition to the ongoing problems of closure, curfews, settler attacks 
and olive theft, the difficulties are compounded this year by the 
Separation Wall.

The wall now in construction separates villagers from their land, the ill 
from medical care, and families from each other. Tens of thousands of 
Palestinians have already lost their livelihoods with the appropriation of 
80,000 dunam of land.

Over 12,000 Palestinians are caught between the wall and the Green 
Line, 
cut off from the rest of Palestine and prohibited from entering Israel. They 
are living in a “closed military zone”, meaning that they must ask 
permission from the army to continue to live in their homes, and they risk 
losing that right. Under cover of the wall, trees are cut down, people are 
uprooted, and hate is sown. The next stage is quiet transfer, forcing the 
Palestinians to leave their homes.

Help us break down the walls of hatred and fear.

Join us this Saturday, 25 October in the Olive Harvest, Israelis and 
Palestinians together, in villages directly harmed by the wall.
