In this photo taken Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010, American volunteers pick olives next to the settlement West Bank Jewish settlement of Eli, near Nablus. The olive tree has long been a symbol of the Palestinians' attachment to their homeland, particularly rocky hills of the West Bank, its mystique enhanced by persistent efforts by Jewish settlers to disrupt the annual harvest. This year the stakes have been raised: The Palestinians have doubled the number of trees planted, and Jewish settlers have responded by ramping up their own olive production. At the heart of the matter is the long-standing struggle for control of the land, where possession is often determined by who works the land, and not always who owns it (AP Photo/Dan Balilty)
