Foreign anarchists and Palestinian Authority Arabs were caught on film Sunday setting fire to a wooded area outside the Jewish town of Bat Ayin, between Jerusalem and Hevron. The fire damaged many plants, including olive trees.

Residents who witnessed the incident said they believe the group was planning to blame the arson attack on the Jews of Bat Ayin.

Over there, burning somebody’s olive trees is a seriously wicked act. Olive trees live a very long time, many hundreds of years. You destroy a man’s heritage when you destroy his olive trees.

The act of trying to destroy these olive trees by the arabs is despicable!

This has been done for centuries, the burning olive trees and grain crops. Olive trees for example, one would conceive that with no irrigation needed, you don't need to really fertilize it; it goes through its own cycle, every other year it produces more flowers that turn into olives and therefore the potential for us to extract more olive oil. It is very resilient. Let's say there is a fire, it has the ability to grow back. Let's say someone wanted to cut it down to damage the property of an ancient city--as sometimes during war it was threatened "come out and fight or we are going to destroy your cereals, olive trees, and vineyards." It's very tough to cut it down; you can't do it that easily, and even if you cut it down it has the wonderful ability to regenerate itself and in a few years there it is again growing and producing olives. It is absolutely wonderful as a plant species. Further, its dead branches or segments of its body may be removed and used for fuel. Even today the majority of the people in the historic villages of Crete prefer to cook with olive tree dead branches or stumps because it burns slowly; it doesn't flash up in fire, and therefore they are following an ancient tradition that we call "slow food cooking." It's healthier.

I would think that being able to blame the Jews for something so despicable would supercede that prohibition.

“Palestine News Network”? You think you’re going to get the truth about Israel there? They base their name on a myth that there is a Palestinian people, and there aren’t.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/news.aspx/140185

“Burning down an olive tree is not such an easy operation.” Ha’Ivri said. He added that if gasoline was poured on the trees, the police easily could identify the source of the fire. While Yesh Din charges that the lack of indictments is “tantamount to an admission of failure” by the authorities, Ha’Ivri responded that many of the accusations simply are not true.

He added it is difficult to halt the media onslaught because the pro-Arab groups “have the general media on their side.”

This is not only not a surprise, it's not the first time the koranimals have pulled this. It's what Nazis do.

No proof just allegations by Muslims that lie as a matter of waging war.

Sounds like they were ready with an excuse for the anarchists planned action.

It seems to me that Muslims permit themselves many behaviors that Muslim apologists claim are against Islam.

It is against Islam to beat women.
It is against Islam to cheat a renter.
It is against Islam to mistreat people of the Book.
And so on ......

Payback? How is it "payback" to destroy ones own property?

Only someone stupid enough to believe anything from some "Palestine News Network" could come up with such a stupid comment. What's next? Maybe the A-rabs will kill their own wives and children?

Payback? That reminds me. Some 36 years ago, a few palestinian terrorists massacred 22 high school kids. Look up “Ma’alot massacre.”

About six months later, the UN General Assembly issued a resolution stating, among other things,

“The General Assembly... 1. Reaffirms the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in Palestine, including:

“(a) The right to self-determination without external interference;

“(b) The right to national independence and sovereignty;

“2. Reaffirms also the inalienable right of the Palestinians to return to their homes and property from which they have been displaced and uprooted, and calls for their return...”

ad nauseam.

You can read the full text here, and think about those school kids at the end of each paragraph:

Any one of those kids was worth more than every olive tree that ever was.

Yeah, they should have just beheaded the olive tree owners.

There is no living with these sub-hominid Muslim/Leftist freaks.
