I was talking with my mother the other day about my thread on olives. The conversation drifted specifically toward the olive harvest season, that’s the object of a theft by settlers, as another way to erase Palestinians and to destroy our existence and our cultural heritage.
(I’m going to reuse some old photos, I’m not really able to take new photos currently, my leg is burned).

In a scene that has become recurring in recent years, Israeli settlers are seen harvesting olives in a manner that perfectly mimics authentic Palestinian rituals, using the same traditional tools and mimicking the details of the Palestinian rural landscape, with all its deeply rooted national and cultural symbols and meanings.

This is not just a passing tradition; rather, it is part of a systematic occupation policy aimed at creating a pragmatic shift in the consciousness of communities by portraying the settler as an "authentic" farmer in the Palestinian land, stealing the human and heritage landscape that has formed an integral part of the identity of this people for decades.

The dissemination of hundreds of photos and videos on social media documenting settlers practicing the olive harvest ritual is not a media luxury, but rather a soft war tool targeting collective consciousness and seeking to establish a false image of "belonging" and "authenticity" in a land stolen from its rightful owners.

What is happening is an attempt to obliterate Palestinian cultural, national, and historical dimensions and steal one of the holiest symbols associated with land and identity. This comes at a time when the occupation realizes that the conflict is no longer just over land, but over memory, narrative, and conscience.

When a settler is depicted preparing tomatoes over firewood during the olive harvest, boiling tea among the olive trees, or using a donkey to transport the harvest, this is neither a coincidence nor a love of rural simplicity. Rather, it is a deliberate attempt to steal the Palestinian heritage landscape and reshape it to serve the Zionist narrative.

Palestinian olives are not just an agricultural season, but a ritual of belonging, memory, and existence. Those who attempt to imitate them are not seeking to imitate, but to erase.

My family still lives in a tent among olive trees, on a piece of land we rent out from a family of Bedouin. Our tent is too narrow for the 8 of us, some of us sleep outside every night, it’s getting cold. Our apartment in Gaza City was destroyed. We need to feed ourselves. And I severely burned my leg recently, I need a doctor and medication.
Please help. Donate if you can, share, and drop me a friendly message.

Thank you so much @liaizon, your words really touch my heart! ❤️🫂 We have an excellent education system in Palestine, among the best in the world, on par with the richest Western countries. With a literacy rate better than Israel's. Well, that was before they bombed everything during the war anyway, and now, children can no longer go to school. I'm also lucky to come from a well educated family: my father is an Arabic language and literature teacher, and my mother is a pharmacist.
