PA official: Israeli settlers uproot olive trees in Nablus
Published Tuesday 12/03/2013 (updated) 13/03/2013 21:47
NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Israeli settlers on Tuesday uprooted over 100 olive trees in a village south of Nablus, a Palestinian Authority official said.

Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, said residents of Rechalim settlement destroyed around 121 trees in Qaryut village.

Daghlas told Ma'an that settlers had stepped up attacks on Palestinians and their property ahead of the upcoming visit of US President Barack Obama.

Settlers, you really must learn to abide by your religious rules set out in the 613 mitzvot. # 604 (I think, or maybe 606) forbids the destruction of fruit trees, "even when under siege." So that means it is BAD! I wonder if the POTUS gets to hear about these criminal acts.

Of course, a cynic might think that the Israelis were trying to provoke a violent reaction from the Palestinians to coincide with , or erupt in advance of, Barack Obama's visit. That cynic might also wonder about the recent death in custody of Arafat Jaradat. However, I am sure that the trees in question were just spoiling the settlers' view and Jaradat beat himself to death out of boredom.

#e Gabi, religious rules mean nothing to Zionist squatters because they are not really Jews.

What hope for peace if settlers uproot olive trees on which grow olive branches. Shoot all the doves too, you godless murdering criminals, your time of reckoning is coming fast. Soon the world will say 'enough is enough'
