Palestinian farmers in the village of Kfar Yasuf in the West Bank picking
olives during the notorious harvest of 2002. In the background, on the
ridge overlooking the groves, are the red-roofed homes of Tapuah, a
settlement of Jewish religious extremists. Tapuah’s armed settlers stole
many of the olives that year, firing at the villagers and beating them up
to keep them away from their trees, with little intervention by the army.
It was a pattern repeated across much of the West Bank that year. (October
2002) |
