Continuous updates of new photos during the season

Olive harvest season in Palestine has begun. Immediately, Israeli colonists illegally residing in the occupied territories as well as the army attacks the Palestinians or hinders harvest, as well as several reports of settlers uprooting trees. Aggression/ attacks against those attempting to harvest will be updated below this post.

Since 1967, over 2,5 Million trees including Olive trees have been destroyed by occupation elements. (Report, page 31)

While Israel just recently has displayed it’s shameless propaganda about agricultural development during a several months lasting world expo called Floriade2012 on the walls of “show” at this expo.

During the olive harvest, more photography will be updated as well as related news below this album.
