Early every morning, a group of Palestinians farmers from the occupied West Bank, hurry to harvest olives from their lands which currently lie on the Israeli side of the controversial separation barrier, after having crossed the Beit Awwa checkpoint by special permission from the Israeli army. Israel started the construction of its controversial separation barrier in 2002 during the second Palestinian Intifada (uprising).
Palestinian farmer Mahmud Abu Shinar surveys two rows of severed olive trees -- something he says has become a sadly familiar sight. He didn't see who took a chainsaw to them at night, but he blames residents of an Israeli settlement a few hundred metres away.
It is reported that only 4 percent of olive oil leaving Italy is pure Italian olive oil, which is a problem for both the Italian oil industry as the costumers.
