Land Day with olive seedlings

A group of farmers in western Ramallah’s Bil’in Village held its Land Day demonstration in much the same spirit as the weekly nonviolent protest against Wall and settlement expansion. A bastion of nonviolent resistance to occupation, Bil’in has not missed a Friday afternoon demonstration in three years.
For Land Day, however, there was a twist. As in many Palestinian towns and villages, including those in Salfit which were attacked by Israeli forces, Bil’in residents planted olive seedlings on what has become the dark side of the Wall.
