Postcard - Palestinian Olive Trees

Palestinian Olive Trees Hasan Qasem, artwork based on original photo “If the Trees Knew.”

Poem by beloved Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008)

The olive tree has long been a symbol of Palestinian resilience and connection to the land. Since the 1948 Nakba, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed by the Israeli government and settlers.
