JOIN THE OCTOBER OLIVE HARVEST IN PALESTINE

We urgently need international volunteers to answer the call of Palestinian civil society and join us on-the-ground in the West Bank for this year's olive harvest. Our work is to stand with Palestinian farmers as they defy colonial occupation and the destruction of their lands.

The olive harvest is an integral part of Palestinian life, livelihood, heritage, and resistance. Last year, constant attacks from zionist settlers and the Israeli army made it one of the most violent harvests in collective memory. Now is the time to take action and answer the call.

More sadistic crimes by Zionist settler-colonizers: killing animals and contaminating water. Supremacist Israeli settlers threw a dead goat in a Palestinian family’s well, knowing they would not be held to account. Zionism has no regard for life of any form and it’s sickening.

In his 1967 essay, Resistance is the Essence, Ghassan Kanafani delivers a line about the crimes of Zionism that resonates to this day: ‘Namely, that what happened on the level of the land, happened to the human being. The Palestinian land was violated — and the Palestinian was also violated’.”

Red Pepper Media presents: “Breaking the Sword in Occupied Palestine,” a political education series co-authored by ISM and YFFP organizers. The 2nd entry illustrates how outposts are used by Zionist settler-colonizers, backed by the Israeli state and army, to terrorize and steal land from Palestinians.

Crucial research by @pchrgaza exposing the environmental devastation, grave health harms, and life-threatening conditions Palestinians are enduring amid Israel’s ongoing genocide and ecocide in Gaza. Zionism is deliberately contaminating the land, water, bodies — life itself.

[Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR @pchrgaza]

♦️More than two million Palestinians are living in a severe health and environmental catastrophe resulting from the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of tons of solid waste within residential areas, shelters, and displacement tents scattered across the streets, as well as the leakage of wastewater and the widespread proliferation of rodents and insects. These conditions threaten people’s lives and health and add a new dimension to their worsening humanitarian suffering. This health and environmental catastrophe cannot be separated from the policies and measures imposed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) over the past 32 months in the #Gaza Strip, which continue to this day despite the declaration of a ceasefire on 10 October 2025. More than two million Palestinians remain confined to only 30% of the Strip’s total area and are deprived of any meaningful recovery or rehabilitation of civilian infrastructure due to the ongoing ban on the entry of essential materials, particularly construction supplies such as cement.

▪️This coincides with the ongoing systematic destruction of infrastructure, the prohibition of the entry of equipment and machinery necessary for rubble removal and waste collection, the obstruction of fuel supplies required for the operation of municipal services, and the prevention of repairs to water and wastewater networks, as well as restrictions on the entry of materials needed to combat rodents and insects. These measures directly contribute to the creation of an environment that endangers the basic necessities of human life. These practices constitute serious violations of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which oblige the occupying power to ensure public health and to take preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of diseases and epidemics among the civilian population.

▪️The ongoing confinement of more than two million Palestinians in a limited area, amid the spread of waste, wastewater leakage, and the proliferation of rodents and insects, forms only part of the deadly living conditions imposed systematically and continuously on the civilian population, including the deprivation of the bare minimum essentials for survival and public health. These conditions correspond to the concept of deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, as set out in Article II(c) of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The maintenance of such policies despite repeated warnings by the United Nations and humanitarian organizations regarding the risk of outbreaks of deadly diseases and epidemics, and the failure to take necessary measures to prevent the worsening of the crisis, constitute a highly significant indicator in assessing the presence of the special intent required under international law for the crime of genocide.

📝According to PCHR’s follow-up, the extensive destruction of infrastructure, municipal buildings, waste management facilities, and landfills, in addition to the shortage of fuel necessary for the operation of wastewater and waste transfer vehicles, has led to an almost complete inability to collect and safely dispose of solid waste. As a result, waste is accumulating in residential areas, near shelters, and between tents in streets and markets, creating conditions conducive to the outbreak of epidemics.

18-year-old Hussein, a Palestinian shepherd, was abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces and is now under administrative detention (no charge, no trial, no due process) in Israel’s widely condemned prison system, where torture, abuse, humiliation, and sexual assault are systemic.

"Doing Zionism" indeed.

“The heroic and pioneering settlers who live here are doing Zionism, and they need security… We are here to build with them and to settle the land...”

Video after video shows Israeli settlers violently harassing and attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, seizing their livestock, bulldozing their schools, setting fire to their property and even killing Palestinians as part of a brutal campaign to forcibly displace Palestinians and expand control over the land – with full political and financial backing from the highest authorities of the Israeli state.

This is what a policy of state-led ethnic cleansing looks like.

Watch. Share. Demand action.

Israeli Occupation Forces and Zionist settler-colonizers raided Huwara, near Nablus, injuring 9 Palestinians. They set fire to agricultural fields, a vehicle repair shop, and smashed cars. They also broke into a house, destroyed the doors, beat its residents, and stole 50 sheep.

Zionist settler youth play a crucial role in Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign of Palestine and in fueling Zionist colonial violence. This young Israeli settler trepassed with sheep, harassed a family, assaulted two people, cut electricity cables, and stole an activists' phone.

The IOF are child abusers. Israeli police brutalise and beat a Palestinian teen after claiming the boy assaulted officers. Palestinian youth have been terrorized, attacked, and even killed as a key target of Zionist settler colonialism for over a century. Video: @EuroPalestineNw

Armed Zionist settler colonizer Moshe Sharvit (who founded an illegal outpost, has been internationally sanctioned, and has a restraining order against him for routine violence) continues to threaten Palestinians in the Jordan Valley, West Bank with support from the Israeli army.

[International Solidarity Movement @ISMPalestine]

Zionist settler-colonizers assault and hospitalize a Palestinian man while raiding a village to destroy a fence. Armed Israeli soldiers supported the attack by throwing a stun grenade at Palestinians, uprooting olive trees, and building a new fence closer to the Palestinian home.

[International Solidarity Movement @ISMPalestine]

More Israeli war crimes. Zionist settler-colonizers raided and set fire to Palestinian farms. The destruction of agriculture, water sources, and the environment is a direct attack on the means of life for Palestinians. ISM stands with families resisting settler violence. Join us.
