The annual olive harvest is beginning in the Palestinian territory on the West Bank. Since the October 7th massacres in 2023, violence by Jewish settlers in the West Bank has been escalating and this year the yearly effort by allies of the Palestinians to protect the olive harvest has grown. More than $90 thousand has been raised on-line for hundreds of American volunteers who are going to Israel to help pick olives and protect Palestinian farmers.
