Living in Bangladesh, we are far but our hearts ache. We see the videos, the uprooted trees... it's genocide of the land too.

Here in Turkey, we hear about it, but not enough. It's like the world is blind to the erasure of a culture. Olive trees are our heritage.

In Indonesia, not really. Mainstream media rarely covers it. I share posts but it's frustrating how little traction they get.

Every time I pour olive oil, I make du'a for Palestine. It's the least we can do, but man, it feels helpless sometimes.

Man, it hits hard. My fam in Jordan has olive groves passed down for generations. Can't imagine losing them to anything other than nature.
