Agree, growing fruit (commercial orchards) is hard work. And most of us do it as a labor of love.

Cant imagine the emotional anguish these farmers are going through.

It’s one thing to lose a crop to frost, hail or insects. It’s another to lose a whole orchard like me to fire blight but to have to watch as someone come in and intentionally destroy your life in front of you would scar me forever.

Those who do such things should themselves experience hunger.

Did you know that Turkey stopped a truckload of wheat flour and turned it away from the border into Syria? It was a gift from a US relief effort (NGO). I called my congressman, and he hit some buttons. I later saw a load of flour being offloaded near Raqqa. Not sure it was same shipment, but would say it’s likely. The flour was destined for a commercial bakery given by a Swiss company to the Rojava region. It was a large commercial bakery.

Imagine such human cruelty to displaced persons.
