Video: Crashing The JNF Fundraiser to "Plant a Tree for Palestine"

Submitted by Ali Abunimah on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 23:51


On Monday 16 May, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) held a fundraiser at the Lincoln Center in New York City featuring the Broadway play “Scottsboro Boys.” Since the JNF plant trees and forests over ethnically-cleansed Palestinian villages to try and erase traces of their existence we – Existence is Resistance, Artists Against Apartheid, StoptheJNF.org and Max Blumenthal among others – decided to bring trees to give away. Each sapling was labeled with the name of a village that was cleansed in Palestine along with the date (some of which were before 15 May 1948) to “Plant for Palestine.”
