Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently 1) preventing farmers access to their lands, 2) shooting/killing farmers, 3) terror attacks, burning of homes & property, 4) destruction of olive trees, 5) theft of olive harvest.
Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently 1) preventing farmers access to their lands, 2) shooting/killing farmers, 3) terror attacks, burning of homes & property, 4) destruction of olive trees, 5) theft of olive harvest.
The Israeli gov't-sponsored terror militias exploited distractions - such as the escalating Israeli aggression against Lebanon, and because naturally the mother of all horrors, the #GazaHolocaust unfolding in north Gaza since October 1st (start of olive season), take precedence.
In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to.
However, settlers & "idf" soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force.

In some cases, like Sisiya quoted below, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to violently expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail.

In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…
The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones."
In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground.

Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force.
Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees.

This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning.
This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank.

and guess what? The settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground.
This insanity is proof that what is happening in Gaza today could be happening in the West Bank as soon as tomorrow.
