The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) announced on Sunday that it would take part in olive picking along the Gaza-Israeli border lines to help Palestinian farmers pick their olive trees without fear.

In a statement, emailed to press, the ISM confirmed that its upcoming action would be focused in the southeastern parts of the Gaza Strip as well as in the north of Gaza, where the movement has established contacts with local farmers.

The ISM will take part in picking olive trees for the next several weeks in a bid to send out a message of support and solidarity with Palestinian farmers who are subject to Israeli gunshots near border lines with Israel, the statement read.

In June of this year, the Israeli army set a buffer zone along the Gaza-Israel border lines in eastern Gaza, where Palestinian residents are prohibited to move within a range of 300 meters.

Many of the Palestinian farmers who own farm lands in said areas have been exposed to Israeli army gun fire over the past four months.

Approximately 10 percent of the Gaza Strip area has been razed by the Israeli army from the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising in 2000 to the end of 2007, according to the Almizan Center for Human Rights in Gaza.

  • No argument wanted here - just a question...

    Does the International Solidarity Movement also stand alongside Israeli farmers to prevent rockets being fired at them?

    If so, how much success have they had in preventing the rocket attacks?

    Just curious.

  • Israel is bulldozing the lands and houses from a decade ago, then occupy the land. Strangling the millon and hald people to death.

  • yes any extreme for of any religon is much like the nazis you and most jewish and most islamic and most christian people agree in this

  • Indeed Hamas is using islam to hide rockets and make people hate islam most people there would get anlong with isreal but for hamas

  • Zionists = Nazis

  • Huh, you do know the israelis are not occupying gaza and would stop actions like this if hamas would stop using the trees as cover to shoot isrealis right?

    Hamas got you into this mess, not israel. They gave you all of the gaza strip back. What did you do with it? You used it to attack israel.
