" Generations of Palestinians have lived from the land for thousands of years. Farmers above all experience the brutal impacts of the intersection of Israel’s water and land occupation. Many Palestinians owned lands that were seized by Israel in 1948. These lands are now inaccessible to the Palestinians who own them. Other Palestinians have their land destroyed by the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF). Others still are put out of work by Israel’s intentional corruption of the Palestinian economy or are prohibited from accessing water resources or digging additional wells, and are therefore unable to sustain their agriculture. All these are strategies employed by the IOF and Israeli government, to starve Palestinian farmers, displace them from their lands, and fracture Palestinian farmer’s connection to their land.
