Whetstone Media brings you an urgent reported episode of Whetstone Audio about the unfathomable and unrelenting war in Palestine and Gaza.

As many as 100,000 Palestinian families depend on native and centuries-old olive and grape crops for their livelihood. We spoke with two Palestinian farmers living in the West Bank about how they have been devastatingly impacted: Nader Muaddi, owner of Muaddi Distillery producing grape-based Arak, and olive farmer Nasser Abufarha, owner of Canaan Palestine.

The Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have not only banned Palestinian families and farmers from accessing their land but have systematically burned farmers’ crops and harvests to the ground.

To support these farmers? Follow Muaddi Distillery @muaddi_craft_distillery to learn how Nader works to preserve arak. Or, purchase Canaan olive oil @canaan.palestine. You can also learn more about hospitality workers taking action for Gaza at Hospitality For Humanity.
