Traditional #Palestinian #craftspeople work hard under the deeply challenging conditions of #Israeli #military #occupation to keep their cultures, traditions and local businesses alive.

A #Palestinian man has his car checked by an #Israeli soldier at a flying #checkpoint in the #SouthHebronHills, a regular sight in the occupied #WestBank. These 'pop up' checkpoints are often erected on key Palestinian travel routes without warning or explanation, disrupting the everyday lives of commuters. Follow the link in our bio to read blogs about life in the West Bank and the many abuses of human rights taking place. Be sure to read the 'take action' sections at the end of each blog to see how you can help to #endtheoccupation. #Palestine #Israel #humanrights #HumansofPalestine #Israeliarmy #photography #photodocumentary #photooftheday #middleeast #TuesdayThoughts
This is not what peace looks like. President Trump's Middle East 'peace plan' will bolster Israel's occupation of #Palestine, legitimising their control over territory and movement. It will do nothing to address or to prevent the many serious violations of human rights which characterise life in the #WestBank and #Gaza. It is a concerning break from the long term international recognition that #Jerusalem is a city of deep significance to both Palestinians and Israelis and that it's final status should be decided in a negotiated peace agreement between those two parties. Write to your elected representatives and ask them to condemn this one-sided plan and to uphold international law. #Palestine #Israel #WestBank #Gaza #Trump #dealofthecentury #humanrights #peopleofpalestine #humansofpalestine #photooftheday #middleeastpeaceplan #middleeastpolitics
We remember the #Palestinian Christians across the #WestBank and #Gaza today, as they practice and celebrate their faith under the shadow of occupation. We remember the denial of their right to freedom of movement and access to worship. May we all take a quiet moment today to think about all of those in the Holy Land. May they soon see a #just #peace, with freedom and dignity for all.

"The BBC called Palestinian olives ‘perhaps the most political food in the world‘, while Time Magazine called the olive groves ‘a battleground’. Around 100,000 Palestinian families rely on olive trees to provide them with olives, olive oil and olive wood. The trees are a source of nutrition and for many, they are their main source of income. But olive trees are not just a commodity, they also have cultural, historical and symbolic significance." The end of another year and the end of another olive harvest in Palestine. In her latest blog, EA Patricia reflects on Palestine's most abundant crop, its significance for the Palestinian economy and the fight, both symbolic and very real, to keep it alive.
