Abstract
Bitter fruits of illegal settlement growth
Highlights
Many internationals visited the occupied Palestinian Territory in October 2019, supporting the olive harvest in various locations in the West Bank
Whilst the ‘protective’ aspect of an international presence amongst the harvest has been welcomed by communities over many years, this year saw a violent attack by masked men who emerged from an illegal Israeli settlement near the northern West Bank village of Burin on 16th October
The incident was a sobering reminder of one facet of the brutal Israeli occupation of the West Bank, namely illegal settlement growth and the confident violence of settlers acting with impunity against ancient communities tending their own land
Summary
Many internationals visited the occupied Palestinian Territory in October 2019, supporting the olive harvest in various locations in the West Bank. Palestinian farmers frequently encounter problems with permit/ checkpoint crossing restrictions when seeking access to their own fields and groves and army harassment and settler intimidation and violence are commonplace. Whilst the ‘protective’ aspect of an international presence amongst the harvest has been welcomed by communities over many years, this year saw a violent attack by masked men who emerged from an illegal Israeli settlement near the northern West Bank village of Burin on 16th October.
