Arab Farmers Cutting Their Own Trees -Gov´t Holding 7,380 Orders to Destroy Illegal Arab Buildings
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1-12-05

Footage to Show Arab Farmers Cutting Their Own Trees 19:15 Jan 10, '06 / 10 Tevet 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Arutz Sheva television and Channel 2 television station will broadcast footage this evening showing Arab farmers cutting branches from olive trees in their own groves near Yitzhar, where Jews have been accused of cutting the trees in order to harm their Arab neighbors.

The residents of Yitzhar have repeatedly denied the Arab claims and said that the trees were cut in such a way as to promote growth and olive produce. The Arab farmers, residents say, then get compensation payments from Israel and provide anti-Israel propaganda footage for international media.

Gov´t Holding Up 7,380 Orders to Destroy Illegal Arab Buildings

IsraelNN.com) The Civil Lands Administration, which ordered the destruction of an illegal home in Gush Etzion Wednesday, has issued 7,380 similar orders against Arab homes in Judea and Samaria, but they have not been executed.

The courts have approved the orders to tear down the buildings, and The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) this week charged the government with bias against Jewish residents.

Orders to dismantle hundreds of other illegal houses in the Negev also have not been carried out. Bedouins in the Negev have built thousands of illegal metal shacks on land that they have taken over during the past two decades. The government calls them "unrecognized villages," and the police have carried out orders to destroy a small percentage of the buildings.

Supposedly 'Uprooted' Olive Trees Still Stand - Pruned

New evidence has led those claiming Jews in the Shomron "uprooted" olive trees to admit the trees were "pruned poorly." Photos also show the IDF has itself pruned thousands of trees in the same way.

Israel's three main newspapers, along with the world media, have published steady reports of "Jewish settlers uprooting Palestinian olive trees" accompanied by pictures of the supposedly "uprooted" or "chopped-down" trees – actually very much intact, but with their branches severely pruned back.

Pruning is necessary to encourage growth and produce fruit. It's a necessary practice, not destruction of the tree.

Trying to explain that to them is like trying to explain hi-def TV to a monkey.

Reminds me of the Geico Caveman commercial.

Travlnmn41 is going to have to take a monkey to dinner and assure him that he doesn't consider him a "Palestinian".

Not to mention the moron politician who wanted to shoot Jews who supposedly were tearing down trees. The sickness of Israel is very disheartening. The self hating Jews of the left and the lap dogs of the so called center and right do not give me a good feeling about Israel's future.

The "sickness" of Israel's leftist government is described in Ezekiel 34 as bad shepherds that prey on the sheep, but do not serve them. Interesting Chapter.
