More about:

Ayed Morrar lives in the West Bank village of Budrus. When he heard that Israeli tanks were going to demolish the olive groves to build a security fence and totally isolate the town, he helped lead protests – peaceful protests.

He tells The State We're In's Jonathan Groubert how their non-violent approach won the day. This story was taken from the latest edition of The State We're In - Not in my backyard.
