Mass olive-harvest in the village of Ni'lin - 10-10-08

Mass olive-harvest in village Ni'I'lin - 10-10-08:

"In solidarity with the popular struggle against robbery of the lands and the apartheid wall which build on the village lands, a group of about 100 Israelis arrived at the village.

The olive-harvest took place together with inhabitants of the village. His target, to help the people of the village to pick olives of their plantations and to express solidarity with the residents that injured from the separation fence that build on their lands, prevents from them to cultivate the land, to collect the crop, and slowly creates the conditions that will enable to the state and to the settlers to control on the lands and to do in them as their desire.

The army had another plan. In spite of that the villagers' right is to work on their land, the army made an effort to prevent the action by the declaration of the area as militaristic closed territory and an activation of violence against the group.

Nevertheless lastly the group succeeded to arrive at the territory that will set and to pick olives.

But In the other part of the territory the border guard attacked in tear gas Palestinian families, that picked olives on their plantations, and hurt children and women."
