Migrant justice requires land justice. We cannot achieve land justice without acknowledging why people are displaced or forced from their land, and we cannot achieve land justice without standing for the right of return of those forcibly displaced from their land and homes!
Palestinians are forcibly displaced or turned into refugees by settler colonialism, and they are deprived of their ancestral connection to their indigenous land.
Palestinian olive trees are cut down and destroyed by the occupier as a form of erasure. Yet Palestinians nourish their connection to the land as a form of resistance to displacement and genocide, through planting olive trees and tending to olive groves.
This is a unique struggle that Palestinians and those who are forcibly displaced by settler colonialism will experience. This is why we advocate a right of return for all Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons.
