Land issues



Part of the induction talk at Dar Assadaqa - discussing what has happened to Palestinian land. A visit to Battir underlined the point. Much of their land (in the distance here) was taken by Israel in 1948 - some of it they still cultivate. The rest was occupied in 1968... Here you can see the Palestinian olive trees on the bit in "1967" and the forest planted over destroyed villages in "1948"
