 rights\nRabbis for Human Rights\nThe Olive Tree Campaign is an interfaith 
 project, bringing international and Israeli volunteers from all religious 
 backgrounds together to participate in planting and harvesting efforts. By 
 coordinating with the Israeli security forces and the local Palestinian 
 population, and through the physical presence of its members and 
 volunteers, RHR helps guarantee Palestinians’ access to their trees while 
 reducing the number of violent incidents and acts of theft during the 
 harvest season. RHR sells olive oil for Palestinians encumbered from 
 selling their produce. Volunteers document the successes and failures of 
 the implementation of scheduled times for Palestinians to cross the fence 
 in order to harvest their crops.\n\nhousing rights\nRabbis for Human 
 Rights\nRHR works to change the administrative policies that prevent 
 approval of building licenses for most Palestinians while leading to the 
 demolition of homes built without approval. RHR works to prevent 
 demolitions through education, lobbying, legal appeal, publicity, protest 
 and, as a last resort, civil disobedience. RHR also protests the policy of 
 home demolitions by helping to rebuild destroyed homes, and to ensure the 
 rights of the cave dwellers in the hills north of Arad. With this project, 
 RHR seeks to ensure equality under the law and to prevent the suffering, 
 financial loss, and hatred that result from administrative\n\n
