Overview
The lemon tree has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation, much like the cactus and olive tree, embodying a politically charged image of national struggle. The ““Bukjeh”“, ““Kufiya,”” is the personal belongings bag carried by Nakba refugees. Carrying lemons inside the bag echoes the resilience of those who survived the Nakba, recalling the forced displacement journey in 1948 from Jerusalem to Ramallah.
