Olive trees are symbolic of Palestinians’ identity and attachment to their land, resistance and resilience.

For the last forty years, over a million olive trees and hundreds of thousands of fruit trees have been destroyed by the Israeli occupation.
"Security reasons" is the justification given by the Israeli’s for the
uprooting of trees, while in reality Palestinians' olive trees are
destroyed for the expansion of Israeli settlements and their bypass
roads, the building of the Israel's "Apartheid wall", and as a result of Israeli settlers' violence in the occupied West Bank.
