Stop uprooting Palestinian Trees

[Enrique Ferro]

Dear all,
The Israeli Army plans to force farmers from Deir Istiya, a village in
the northern West Bank, to uproot 1400 olive trees in Wadi Qana by the
first of May.

The village, together with international and Israeli supporters, will
resist and open up a protest camp in the olive goves.

It is to expected that the Israeli army will respond with the usual
exessive force to quell the resistance and enforce the uprooting of the
trees. The village needs all the outside support it can get.

The International Women's Peace Service IWPS, who are based in the
village of Deir Istiya, set up a online petition to write to the
relevant Israeli politicians in protest:
