The problem has never been just the wall, or the uprooted olive trees, or the settlements, or even the confiscation of Ayn Al Qaws spring. These are all manifestations of the root problem, but not the root problem itself. The root problem is Israel’s colonial settler project, which seeks to control us, steal our land, and ethnically cleanse us from it. The problem is the occupation itself. And so, exposing the injustices of the occupation for the world to see was one of the most important goals of our movement.
