D70 Eyewitness Accounts (BLOG) - August 2019 — Eyewitness Palestine

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE & OLIVE HARVEST DELEGATION

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2019

The Environmental Justice and Olive Harvest Delegation focuses on the Palestinian harvest season and its deep cultural significance.

Read eyewitness accounts from the grounds, reports from meetings, and experiences with Palestinians and Israelis.

Exclusive content is available on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook under the hashtags #eyewitness70.

In addition to other themes, this delegation explored how Palestinian access to land and water is limited through illegal Israeli settlement infrastructure and Israeli military policy.

Delegates are also meeting with Palestinian groups and communities that continue to organize for their rights, as well Israelis resisting militarization and working for peace with justice.

This delegation was Eyewitness Palestine's 70th, successfully exposing more than 1,400 people to the daily realities facing Palestinians in their quest for justice.

We believe in the power of eyewitness experience and transformation. Given the opportunity to speak directly with Palestinians and Israelis, delegates return to the United States better informed, more energized, and with a deeper understanding of the possibilities for true justice in the Middle East.

Logic, Diagnosis, and Prognosis

I've been struggling with processing all the information we're receiving and all the emotions the emotions I'm feeling. There are many ways to address this. Sometimes we need to dive into our emotions. Sometimes it helps to step back and look at the situation logically.
