Israeli military and settler violence in the West Bank is escalating, as villages and cities become increasingly isolated by new checkpoints and barriers.
Entire communities are being torn apart, access to water is restricted or cut off, and transportation to work and education is made impossible. Israel’s Illegal settlements – colonies – continue to expand across Palestinian land, each one rapidly growing, encircling and isolating nearby villages with the aim of driving out Palestinians from their land.
The Plant a Tree is a project of the Stop the JNF Campaign.
There are three main objectives:
RESIST: helping farmers plant trees is a powerful form of resistance
RECLAIM: supporting the ongoing struggle to sustain and reclaim land
RETURN: supporting the return to the land while the JNF continues to force Palestinians from their farms
