“No Other Land” is about Palestinians in Masafer Yatta resisting Israeli efforts to ethnically cleanse them from the area.

As these communities weather continued violence under Israel's system of occupation and apartheid, we're raising funds to support them.

I asked a friend of mine who was in that group for a picture to post here. He told he they were working so fast that they had no time to take pictures.

This is a victory. Every plot of land harvested is a plot of land not abandoned to the Israeli occupation.

They harvested olives on a Palestinian plot of land close to an illegal Israeli settlement—so close that the farmers had not dared reach that plot since October 2023. I was not in that group. I’m not such a fast runner. After 2 hours of intensive work, they left without incident.

The army tear-gassed the site of the olive presses in the center of the village, where olives are pressed into olive oil. Farmers were trapped inside for some time...

One of the groups today was composed of 5 internationals “ready to run at a moment’s notice in case settlers came to attack.

Another full day of harvesting olives as well as a fig tree. The figs are delicious by the way. We had no encounters with the army or the settlers today, but the army left its mark on the day. The Israeli army raided the village — for no reason other than to exert power and control.

The CJNV olive harvest group is on the ground and working hard. Sydney Levy, a member of CJNV's advisory committee is there and has been sending dispatches from the field. Here are some excerpts and photos from Sydney:

NOTE: Yinon Levi is the person who is on video shooting Awdah Hathaleen in July

So far tonight, settlers have added three more caravans to the new "neighborhood".

Center for Jewish Nonviolence @cjnv.org · Sep 14

These caravans were set up in the immediate aftermath of Awdah Hathaleen's murder directly adjacent to the community center where he was shot. They effectively cut the village in half and complete the full encircling of the north side of the community.

Yinon Levi continued to oversee the bulldozers working on the village's lands. At the same time that they worked to connect the new settler caravans to water and electricity, they cut off the water of the Palestinian residents. All while the police and army were present.

Today in Umm Al Khair, settlers, using a construction excavator, broke and cut off the water pipe which brings drinking water to hundreds of residents of the village.

Beloved friend, teacher, and civil resister Awdah Hathaleen was shot dead by Israeli settler Yinon Levy on Monday, July 28th while defending his community. The IDF then abducted his body, and arrested over a dozen members of Awdah’s community.

The hunger strikers will continue until their demands are met including the return of Hathaleen’s body, the release of those arrested from their community, and the arrest of Yinon Levi who is walking free today after a judge released him from house arrest

Center for Jewish Nonviolence @cjnv.org · Aug 4

Two of the women have already been taken to receive medical treatment as a result of the hunger strike, but they will not stop until demands are met. Until then, the family and community are in a state of suspended grief, unable to mourn their loss according to their tradition.
