My name is Dr. Randall Blazak and we're raising funds for The Victims of Settler Violence Ramallah Region Fund in the West Bank, Palestine.

Palestinian olive harvesters in the West Bank are facing incredible violence from Israeli settler terrorists this harvest season. For most Palestinian farmers the annual olive harvest is their only source of income. Settler terrorists burn and bulldoze olive trees and violently attacked Palestinians as they harvest as a way to disrupt their livelihood and drive them off their land.

A Palestinian man was stabbed and almost murdered on the outskirts of town Turmus Ayya while we were there. He only took the risk of picking olives that day because he hadn't been able to find work for 2 years despite graduating from a university with a IT degree. He's relied on help from his father and brothers to take care of his wife and three young children. One day after we left settler terrorists set three cars on fire and broke a Palestinian American's skull and leg and broke his elderly mother's hand, again in Turmus Ayya.

The olive tree is a symbol of peace and the resilience of the Palestinian people. New trees are planted by each generation of Palestinians and some date back to Roman times. Israeli settlers destroy olive trees and replace them with vineyards, with which they make wine that's sold all across the world- profiting off land stolen from Palestinians.

100% of your donation to The Victims of Settler Violence Ramallah Region Fund will be directly distributed to Palestinian victims in the Ramallah region. Your donation will help Palestinians who have been directly impacted by Israeli settler violence. Every donation helps and no gift is too small. Please share this fundraiser and more importantly share the stories of the Palestinians. Every human we met in occupied Palestine asked us to get the truth of their suffering out to the world.
