Lemon Tree: The Fork in the Road We Didn't Take "Lemon Tree" must be understood in its 2008 context, when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict existed at a different temperature than today. Both sides were slightly more tentative, and the possibility of human connection across the divide felt less remote.

Salma Zidane, a widow, lives simply from her grove of lemon trees in the West Bank's occupied territory. The Israeli defence minister and his wife move next door, forcing the Secret Service to order the trees' removal for security. The stoic Salma seeks assistance from the Palestinian Authority, Israeli army, and a young attorney, Ziad Daud, who takes the case. In this allegory, does David stand a chance against Goliath?
