Researcher Ali Habibullah argues that the olive tree’s symbolism in Palestinian memory deepened after the Nakba, becoming a symbol of resilience, survival, and connection to the land. The harvest season, meanwhile, became a social ritual that brings people back to their land and helps affirm its ownership. It is associated with solidarity among local communities, as well as customs, sayings, and traditional foods. Olive trees have also stood as witnesses to the Palestinian presence in depopulated villages. Habibullah warns of threats including neglect and sale of the land, and attacks on farmers—particularly in the West Bank. He calls for the trees to be cared for, for younger generations to take part in the olive harvest, and for this heritage to be preserved.
