To be clear, I’m talking about this group, based in Canada:
http://www.zatoun.com/treesforlife.htm
The other group (with a diffeent spelling, Zaytoun) do not sponsor tree plantings, to my knowledge.
But the group I’m talking about, Zatoun, from Canada, which does sponsor tree plantings, include statements in their ‘about us’ page which direclty contradict a boycott. For example:
“encouraging understanding and dialogue between Canadian Jews, Canadian Palestinians and other communities in Canadian society.”
“An important aspect of the vision is that Zatoun be available only through activist groups and individuals working for social justice and peace in Palestine-Israel including faith-based groups of all denominations.”
http://www.zatoun.com/about_us.htm
Also, an article about them puts it this way:
“Generally, people think of using their purchasing power to boycott, as in boycotting goods from Israel, but one can also seek to purchase goods from Palestine.”
http://www.zatoun.com/peace_mag.htm
So basically their focus is to support fair trade Palestinian products while working with organizations that are willing to work with them (including, presumably, pro-peace Zionist organizations).
I’m not trying to give you a hard time, or anything, I really appreciate your blog. And I don’t know much about Zatoun (I’m not even from Canada), but it seems like they do good work, so it is worth making the distinction clear.
