Rural Palestinian Farmers Resist Occupation
The Palestinian struggle for liberation is not only ideological and moral. Israel's occupation of Palestine violates numerous human rights, including food sovereignty.
"To exist is to resist," says one famous graffiti message written on the apartheid wall. For farmers, to farm is to resist. And for Palestinians who have joined in non-violent resistance such as the boycott against Israeli products, to buy local produce is to resist. Food sovereignty of the Palestinian people is one fundamental issue that is complicated, intentionally, by Israeli policy. On the other hand, food sovereignty is a pivotal point for a Free Palestine.
