The overwhelming number of Arabs posing as “Palestinians” are Muslims. Some have been there from the start. Many others are not even arabs, from all over hell’s acres moved in by the Turks for strategic reasons when they controlled the region.
Many Arabs who did not convert to Islam are dhimmified Christians caught in fear between secular Anti Christian Jews and rabid anti Christian muslims. Some of these are heroic Christians holding on for dear life until the end.
Just because somebody says it happened doesn’t mean it did. You need to be careful with your sources. It’s a complex place and it doesn’t help to post “Palestinian” news as somehow reporting factually.
Answer: Nothing. They don't fear the Jews at all, secular or otherwise. ...as well they shouldn't.
I’m not so sure. I’ve met quite a few Arab Christians that seem to be doing OK in Jerusalem and the environs. As for Palestian news sources reporting about olive trees being destroyed, it seems about right.
Yes it is, and for some reason NONE of this behavior is condemned either by the media or the UN. Gee, I wonder why not?
Abortionists, Leftists and Muslim cultists are given carte blanche to commit whatever crimes against humanity and nature they so desire - all with the blessing of the despicable UN.

A group of 8 international activists along with 3 Palestinian members of the Palestine Solidarity Project accompanied the Aady family to their land on the hillside opposite Bat Ayn, on the outskirts of the Palestinian village of Beit Ommar. The land is marked for annexation by the settlement, and is frequently subject to settler violence. They worked for three hours, burning off and cutting down brush and unwanted trees. Their intention is to prepare the hillside for replanting of 2,000 olive trees.
I was wondering, it is unknown for Palestinians to burn down olive trees, it is considered absolutely haram, forbidden and they sure wouldn't do it in broad daylight.
People were seen burning an area of land and an explanation was given for why that could be based on past experiences.
from your link:
Launched in 2005, Ma’an News Agency (MNA) publishes news around the clock in Arabic and English, and is among the most browsed websites in the Palestinian territories, with over 3 million visits per month. Considered the main source of independent news from Palestine, MNA has become the first choice for online information for many Palestinians, and is also attracting a growing international readership and interest from prominent international news organizations and agencies.

I just saw a story full of conjecture that was running to far with out balance. Both sides lead America by the nose and we need to keep an open mind.
That accusation could only come from a far Leftist freak of the antisemitic kind.
Especially since the article is very much balanced with fairness. The article shows a video and only states what it could be based on the view of the people living there.
Plus the article allows comments unlike the Terrorist loving propaganda link that you posted, which does not allow comments.
No one is leading me by the nose. But you are being led by Terrorist loving Palestinians officials who are cited in your link.
And while we are on the topic of who it is that you rush to side with, let me ask you... How does it feel siding with Terrorist loving Palestinians who celebrate 9/11?
Or are you going to post another link claiming the Israelis were celebrating - while pretending to be Palestinians?
And what about those Israelis who blow themselves up on buses packed with women and children - and then blame the Palestinians?
Come on now - you know you really want to be balanced don't you?
Is it a “wicked act” and a “crime against humanity” when the settlers do it? Sure, these dumb anarchists have carried out such acts, but there is also no doubt that settlers have done it to as part of their “price tag policy”
Didn't say it was a crime against humanity. I said they take it seriously, and why.
Moral equivalency arguments are so feeble, I think I'll be merciful and leave it at that. :)
See the publication date of the video: Published Sunday 12/07/2009 17:00
A month prior to that it is claimed that settlers uprooted 200 olive trees.
OK, ya got me...I'm anti-semitic and anti-Palestinian.......when both sides tell unverified, one-sided, unbalanced and sometimes......remain calm......untruthful stories.
My point is very simple, both sides are trying to lead America by the nose. Keep and open mind, there is nothing "exactly" about the issue.
It helps to be more restrained emotionally and more objective to what we are seeing/hearing and to read these articles carefully. I don't "rush to side with" anyone.
If you have a credible item about that then show some balls and post it up on FR like I did.
Come on. Even the IDF says settlers burn down Palestinian olive groves.
