Rabbis help with the Palestinian olive harvest in the West Bank

There has been an escalation of Israeli settler violence against Palestinian villagers, which include destruction of olive trees and armed incursions, often by minors.

But there's help at hand for these olive farmers bringing in their harvest, which began in earnest at the beginning of October.

It comes from Rabbis For Human Rights – an Israeli organisation who gather groups of Israeli volunteers to help protect the farmers from the settler raids and help with the harvest.
