REMINDER: Our teach-in on settler violence is coming up soon.
This teach-in will break down who settlers are and help us understand how this system operates in everyday life for Palestinians.
We are gathering to challenge the normalization of oppression against Palestinians and to understand how solidarity must move beyond awareness into action.
Solidarity means helping Palestinians remain rooted on their land, sustaining life, community, and livelihood in the face of displacement.
Join us to learn, connect, and be in solidarity.

This year, our event will be raising funds for our friends at @palshield . PALSHIELD is a humanitarian initiative focused on supporting vulnerable Palestinian communities facing ongoing threats to their safety & livelihoods. Working through trusted local partners & village councils, PALSHIELD provides essential protective equipment, emergency supplies, & coordination support to help Palestinian families remain safe & resilient in their homes. The initiative emphasizes practical, community-driven solutions that strengthen local capacity while maintaining accountability & discretion. PALSHIELD will used the funds in their mission to support Palestinian Farmers in the 2026 Olive Harvest.
“For Palestinian families in the West Bank, the olive harvest is the economic backbone of rural life – primary income, cultural continuity, land connection. UN experts declared 2024 the “most dangerous olive season ever” for Palestinian farmers. October 2025 was the single highest month of settler violence since OCHA began documenting in 2006. That is why these funds are so important. Specifically, the funds will be used for Protective Presence, Harvest Support, Infrastructure Kits, & Documentation.
Honor International Children’s Day by helping us put on an event that centers Palestinian children & children everywhere living under occupation, displacement, & war.
If we're able to meet our goal ahead of our event, all funds raised will be directed to PALSHIELD!
Thanks to @urban.artifact for hosting us!
Settler violence doesn’t begin or end with headlines.
It is systemic. It is organized. It is ongoing. And it is carried out with protection and no accountability under military occupation.
We are hosting a teach in to name what is often left out of the conversation.
We will break down how settler violence shows up in everyday life. Land, homes, children and survival itself.
A structure designed to make life feel impossible for Palestinians.
Join us to learn about olive harvest season and ways to show up in solidarity on the ground.

Faz3a Campaign Launches Its Second Phase to Protect Land and Strengthen Palestinian Resilience
Yesterday , Faz3a Campaign officially launched its second phase aimed at protecting Palestinian land and strengthening the resilience of local communities. Our volunteers headed to the town of Attara, where they worked alongside farmer Reem Al-Najjar to plow, clean, and rehabilitate her land for cultivation.
This phase focuses on land restoration and maintaining a continuous presence on threatened lands. Under Israeli regulations, land can be declared “state land” and confiscated if it is not cultivated for three consecutive years. In addition, aerial surveillance is conducted periodically to monitor land use, putting many Palestinian lands at risk of confiscation.
Many landowners are often denied access to their lands, and those who attempt to reach them frequently face harassment or attacks by settlers and military forces. In this context, collective action and protective presence become essential tools to safeguard these lands.
The presence of volunteers on the land is not only agricultural support — it is a message that the land remains alive through the people who care for it and those who stand in solidarity with them.
Faz3a continues because land survives through those who protect and cultivate it.
This morning, a group of settlers attacked residents of a Palestinian home in the Palestinian town of Tarqumiya in Hebron, in the West Bank. FAZ3A volunteers were present in the village as part of a protective presence to help safeguard Palestinian civilians from repeated settler attacks.
The house is located in Area B. The family had entered this home for the first time in a year and a half, accompanied by FAZ3A volunteers, after settlers had previously forced them to leave. Shortly after their return, settlers attacked the home and its residents again.
Following the settlers’ assault, Israeli army and police forces arrived at the scene. However, instead of ensuring protection for the residents, they detained FAZ3A volunteers and the homeowners, photographed them and their passports, and questioned those present.
The homeowner and his brother were detained for approximately six hours and were only released a short time ago.
Palestinians are NOT your perfect victims.
We’re not goin to die silently while our homes are stolen and destroyed as we’re being terrorized by marauding thugs and thieves from “Israel” who claim to be chosen for an ethnosupremacist settler colonial mission.
Our very existence is resistance. And if you have a problem with how we defend our existence, then you’re no different than those who want to erase every trace of Palestinian life.
Support my friends @palshield as they’re trying to help those on the ground in the West Bank dealing with the horrors of this squatter violence. And keep raising your voices until PALESTINE IS FREE. ✊🏼
