Rooted as the olive trees: Palestinian farmers' fight against land theft in the West Bank

Israel's war on Palestine has now decisively expanded to the West Bank, where the most aggressive IDF military campaign in decades is now underway.

One method of resistance has been through agriculture, which for many generations in Palestine has revolved around the cultivation of olives.
