Jonathan Cook on Canaan Palestine in AMEU's The Link

Award-winning British journalist Jonathan Cook wrote an outstanding article profiling Canaan Palestine's model of self-sufficiency and dignity. Cook writes that Canaan "now assists some 2,000 small-hold farmers in the West Bank. It offers them help to grow organic crops that can withstand water shortages and other privations of a hostile occupation; buys their products at above-market prices to ensure farming families can make a sustainable living; and finds local and foreign markets for the produce, as a way to bypass Israeli control and to raise prices. Staff have nick-named their approach `agro-resistance.'" Cook, a master of long-form journalism, is based in Nazareth, Israel. This article ran on a number of news services but came out first in the newsletter of Americans for Middle East Understanding (AMEU). Read the full story at The Link.
