Global Call To Action:

Counter-JNF Olive Tree Planting Campaign!

Sowing Solidarity and Uprooting the JNF: Sponsor an Olive Tree Today....

The Jewish National Fund is best known around the world for its forestation, tree planting, and environmental conservation efforts. This ethical image stands in contrast to the central role it plays in the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line, exemplified by the fact that more than two thirds of JNF-KKL forests are deliberately located on ruins of 87 Palestinian villages depopulated during the Nakba.

The JNF is famous for its blue collection boxes and fundraising campaigns. As it continues to plant conifer forests on Palestinian land in the Galilee, Naqab, and West Bank, many thousands of Palestinian olive trees are at the same time being burned in arson attacks by settlers with soldiers standing by or accompanying the attackers. In the village of Burin alone, located between Huwara and Nablus in the northern West Bank, more than 2000 olive trees were burned in the past year.

We are partnering with the Burin Land and Farming Cooperative in an initiative to counter the JNF by planting Palestinian olive trees instead of settler forests. Give today to support the steadfastness of Palestinian farmers replanting their destroyed orchards in the Nablus District and Jordan Valley. All funds will go directly to replant olive trees and rehabilitate orchards destroyed in the past year. Solidarity activists will accompany the farmers to sow their groves and plant olive saplings this January.
