Guerrilla Harvest

The olive harvest is vital to Palestinians. Many people can't access their fields, due to settler and army violence
We accompanied some farmers to bring in their olives from their lands.
Under Ottoman law - yes, that's the one in force here - if lands are left untended for 3 years, farmers loose their land rights. Harvesting is important in the short term and in a long-term perspective.
Anyway, we had a good time, even though there were a lot of soldiers and settlers watching from the hill tops. It was satisfying and energizing to be doing something practical and tangible.
