Settler violence disrupts West Bank olive harvest
The scene shocked many and highlighted the violence of this year’s olive harvest in the Israeli-occupied West Bank as a young masked man clubs an older Palestinian woman picking olives, who then collapses on the ground.
The attack against 55-year-old Um Saleh Abu Aliya was filmed by an American journalist in the town of Turmus Aya near Ramallah.
“Everybody was fleeing because the settlers attacked suddenly, maybe 100 of them,” witness Yasser Alkam told AFP news agency, adding that one Swedish activist also had his arm and leg broken by settlers.
“Fighting back would only bring more violence, sometimes with the army’s backing,” lamented Nael al-Qouq, a Turmus Aya farmer who was prevented from reaching his olive trees that same day.
Near Turmus Aya, in the village of al-Mughayyir, one villager was prevented from harvesting altogether. “I own 10 dunams (one hectare) of olives. All I have left are the olive trees in the garden of the house … They uprooted it all,” Abdul Latif Abu Aliya, 55, told AFP.
