It's harvesting season, for olives in Palestine.

Every year for decades the International Solidarity Movement help internationalist volunteers to first train and then go help protect the essential olive harvesting in the West Bank of Palestine, as the internationalists' presence protects the Palestinians through the privileges of being from EU, USA, etc, actual good use of privilege, so the marauders are less likely to murder the harvesters because then the world would may object while it won't if it is just Palestinians murdered for harvesting their own olives on their own land.

So, so far this year harvesters have been assaulted by armed settlers and the army using batons, tear gas and live ammo gunfire, one shot, many injured, one solidarity activist's arm broken, three journalists injured, cars torched by assaulting Israeli mob also attempting an ambulance, etc.

Israel plans to deport 32 internationalist volunteers who helped Palestinians in the West Bank of Palestine to harvest their own olives on their own land, with a hearing for 27 set to be held on Sunday according to Haaretz in a paywalled article (I never intentionally link to paywalled articles).

Internationalist volunteers, primarily of the International Solidarity Movement, have for decades gone to the West Bank of Palestine to use their illegitimately socially assigned privilege of being non-Palestinians to through being present e.g. witness and prevent racist mobs' attacks aided by the army against the locals.
At least 41 assaults by Israeli illegal settlements mobs have taken place just this olive harvest against Palestinians harvesting their own olive trees.

The TT news agency reports that Israel's Minister of (against) Justice Yariv Levin says the decision to deport the 32 internationalists was taken after receiving complaints from Yossi Dagan, a leader of illegal settlements in the northern part of Israel-occupied West Bank of Palestine, accusing them of being "anarchists". Which... seems likely largely true, as many anarchists do such internationalist volunteering activism, even though Israel has murdered some in the past, but... anarchism is not a crime. Anarchism is love.
