Israeli and Palestinian Farmers Unite Over Olive Oil – Can an Agricultural Project Really Overcome Years of Bitter Tribalism? | GOOD Magazine

Hamudi is in his mid-50s, with smiling eyes and palms so big an olive looks miniscule in them. “Today the border is here, tomorrow it will be there. The olive oil market has no borders as well. The bridge to the global market is the same bridge for everyone.”
