This year hundreds of trees were damaged and/or harvest stolen by settlers.
People are still harvesting near the apartheid wall/colonial settlements and if you are in Palestine and interested, you may still get a chance (see below for an event in Wad Rahhal tomorrow/Tuesday and other related events).
Email me if you want to buy extra virgin olive oil (baladi) from struggling farmers in the villages at the seam zone (between the wall and the green line).
2 November is the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. This is a section from my upcoming book dealing with popular resistance (http://qumsiyeh.org/popularresistanceinpalestine/) that addresses this infamous declaration:
The energetic and charismatic Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann relocated to London in 1904 after failing to get Ottoman support.
The Zionists had a slow start securing British backing, but a breakthrough came during World War
And tomorrow (Tuesday) is election in the US. Some pro-Israel congressman are to be replaced by extremely fanatic pro-Israel congressmen (money speaks not the interests of constituents)
