I've been wanting to share this with you for a few days but my life is topsy-turvy and I'm just going to do a very quick update, instead of the more in-depth one I've been trying to make time for.
(I was meant to have a week off from work so I had all these “to do” intentions piling up…
Only to have to step in last minute with my client who refused to board a flight. So I'm actually staying with him for the week which means I'm more scattered than usual 🫠)
Anywayyyys…
On Saturday I spoke with Murad, the bio-dynamic farmer we've been raising money for (and now over our target 🥳)
And he told me that the day before (so last Friday) Israeli settlers STOLE SOME OF HIS LAND!!!!
It felt as if someone punched me in my stomach when I heard.
It's just INFURIATING that these terrorists are above the law and can just steal land that has been in Murad's family for generations.
Thankfully it's not the land his farm is on….but still!!!!
Murad explained that land is being stolen at record rates leading up to the Israeli elections.
So yeah, I just wanted you guys to know that this is happening RIGHT NOW.
We MUST put pressure on our politicians to demand sanctions on Israel. It really is the only way to see justice.

I have been concerned as I've seen others land and trees being destroyed by Israel. It's wonderful you've already raised the initial funds you hoped for! 👏
