Planting - Our response to settler violence

17/01/26

On Friday January 16th, we returned together with 60 Zazim members to Nahalin, the village where we took part in the annual harvest. This time we brought with us 200 new olive tree saplings, which we planted together with the local farmers - our answer to the settler violence against Palestinian communities. 

For 8 years now, we've been consistently participating in olive harvests and plantings, and since the start of the war in Gaza, we've been coming monthly for “protective presence” actions with our partners at Rabbis for Human Rights. Planting the new trees, just as we enter the new year, was an act of faith in a shared future for Palestinians and Israelis. 

Through this work, we've exposed thousands of Israelis to the reality in the West Bank and brought many of them into the circle of field activism. A monthly support allows us to plan our annual activities and ensure we can participate in solidarity actions and protective presence every month. Chip in now to become a permanent member in the struggle against settler violence, uprooting, and destruction.
