We are planting to save our towns, to save Israeli sovereignty, to save the land for the entire Jewish people. We have gone as far as we can ourselves.
The PA has the EU — but we have YOU. Your generosity can save Judea.
TAKE ACTION
Unfortunately, lawsuits and government action have failed to stop this - but we must act now. Every day, the noose tightens around our towns. So a group of Gush Etzion residents have decided to take action. We are now going outside the fences of the yishuvim, and planting in open, ownerless land ourselves.
WE NEED YOU
The Palestinian Authority, armed with $100 million a year in funding from European governments, is engaged in “The Fayyad Plan” — a campaign to surround the Jewish communities of Judea & Samaria, cut them off from each other, and turn them into indefensible islands. This is done by illegal building, and on an even larger scale, illegal planting and agricultural activities that create facts on the ground. The PA have taken over tens of thousands of dunams, and gone right up to the fences of Jewish communities.
Help Save Our Heartland
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE POSSIBLE?
OUR UNIQUE MODEL
First, we plant trees in strategic locations around established, legal communities to block them from being surrounded. Second, we have come to understand that what enables the Palestinian takeover is that Jews have retreated behind the fences of their towns, while Palestinians roam freely and without fear across the land. After planting trees, we build picnic tables, promenades, roads and scenic areas connected to the towns, to bring Jews outside their fences — the best protection against having the lands taken over. We are giving Jews a renewed sense of ownership of the Land of Israel. We work together with the communities to ensure that Jews can safely venture into the open land around their communities — foiling the Fayyad plan.
In just our first year, we did projects around five towns staving off their imminent encirclement. We built roads and paths, planted more than 2500 trees in 400 dunams, and placed more than 30 picnic benches.
