Ever hear of someone, usually a adolescent, break something on purpose, then blame someone else? That's the Pali mentality. I remember what happened when my dad became too ill to prune the peach trees. One split in half. I wish I had lived closer to help do those chores, but that's the first thing that came to mind when I read the article. Also notice the sloppy job they did.
Did you read where the Pali's are using arson to further destroy the land? I've seen arson fires first hand living in Southern California, and it is a horrible waste. Not only that, the winter rains produce mudslides. They stubbornly refuse to get a life, destroy everything in their path, then blame the Jews. I wasn't too shocked to hear that they destroyed the greenhouses that were left for them to grow their own food.
Or maybe it is a Sunni Muslim way. Such things were routinely done in Bosnia and Kosovo to help NATO justify attacking Christian Serbs.
You mean like this?
ARSON INTIFADA - Israel is facing a new wave of "arson terrorism" by Palestinians, Fire and Rescue Services Commissioner Shimon Romach said, after multiple, deliberately set fires destroyed dozens of acres of land this week, The Jerusalem Post reports. Several fires were set by Palestinian arsonists in the Ben-Shemen Forest in the Modi'in region and in the Nataf Forest near Jerusalem, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

Two Palestinians suspected of setting Negev forest fire
Police suspect two Palestinian men from the West Bank of setting fire to the Yatir Forest in the northern Negev also on Friday.
The blaze ravaged 70 dunams of land before four crews of Jewish National Fund firefighters managed to put it out.
Police chased the suspects, but gave up the search after they escaped to Palestinian villages in the southern Hebron Hills in the West Bank.
The suspected arsonists allegedly ignited six separate fires in the forest.

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Five Israeli Arab youths have admitted to setting fires in central Israel near an Arab village where police and residents recently clashed.
The fires were part of the four days of forest blazes that burned out of control in northern and central Israel last week, causing thousands of inhabitants to evacuate the area north of Haifa.

Also in Ha'aretz, veteran commentator Meron Benvenisti has a thoughtful piece about the torching of forests by Arab Israelis, as part of their violent campaign in support of the Palestinians. The arson attacks have caused outrage in Israel, but as Benvenisti points out: "Many of the forests that were set ablaze were planted to hide the remnants of the Arab civilisation that once existed in this land - villages, cultivated fields, plantations and cemeteries. The planting of these "camouflaging" forests was intended to bury an important stratum in the history of this land and to ensure the burial would not be accompanied by any gravestone or marker. Those who have picnicked in the forests ... and are shocked by the attempts to set those forests ablaze, should remember they are living in the same land with people whose homes have been covered by such forests and who consider the green trees a memorial to their disaster."
