I'm surprised they didn't try to blow up the Olive trees.

Nope, cutting them down and blaming the evil "settlers" is the usual tactic.

They probably just wanted to pass around a few olive branches...

PING!
(I remember last year when some FReepers were convinced that the palies would never do something like this to their own trees.
There have of course been a number of court cases where Arabs have been convicted of destroying olive orchards and trying to blame the Jews, but never mind. Facts are so elusive....)

Just confess and say you did it. Who knows, maybe someday they will call you the Father of Palestine.

Better olive trees than sawing off heads.

This story is just so emblematic of the Arab culture as a whole.

Maybe they couldn't find a pine tree and decided to use an olive trees for Christmas.

It's agricultural warfare/terrorism:
"The culture of olive trees requires the patience of generations of agriculturists. The olive tree is green and non-deciduous, with a gray trunk that comes to appear wrinkled and knotty. An olive tree takes twenty-five (25) to fifty (50) years to mature, however, it begins to give fruit six (6)to eight (8) years after planting. The olive tree is an evergreen tree, and stands anywhere from 10-50 feet high. An average tree will yield about 22 pounds of olives during harvest, and the best yields are often from mature trees exceeding 250 years of age."

Did they scream, wild eyed, "Allah Ackbar" as they severed the trees' trunks from their roots?

Well, that's the kind of thing their ancestors did in the 7th Century when they overran Palestine.

It's pretty rotten regardless of politics. It's more akin to plowing salt into the fields than burning one year's crops. I'm not an eco-guy and have little knowledge of agriculture, but that story is crap.

Maybe they will start sawing each others' heads off and blaming it on the Israelis. Oh, I guess they are already doing some of that.
