When we arrived at the Canaan Palestine headquarters in Burqin, Palestine on a sunny Monday morning in February, the whole Canaan staff came outside to greet us with smiles and hugs. The five of us (David, Mia, Adam, Ariel, and I) were swept inside to Nasser’s office, where he poured us shots of thick, buttery Canaan olive oil, a welcome ritual for every guest who comes to visit.
