On Saturday September the 13, farmers from the village of Biddu came to demonstrate against the Israeli military denying their rights to work their fields. These fields contain olive trees (and other fruit trees) and are blocked by a fence and a gate that is monitored by the occupying forces. The farmers were joined by internationals and Israelis who also demonstrated on the other side of the fence, which has been confiscated for the settlement "Har Adar". This report covers the demonstration that happened on the "Har Adar" settlement.

Another tactic to discourage us was to film us endlessly, that also failed. In the background the demonstration from the village of Bido can be seen. On the left and right are the land and trees that the farmers are being denied entrance to.
