More Israeli Economic Terrorism
Something you probably won’t see reported in the US media:
“Israeli settlers on horseback set fire on Monday to at least 1,500 Palestinian-owned olive trees in the occupied West Bank and others stoned cars, a Palestinian security official said. Two Palestinian motorists were slightly wounded and five vehicles damaged near the settlement of Yitzhar, outside the Palestinian town of Nablus, said the official, Ghassan Daglas. He said 10 settlers riding horses and carrying torches set fire to between 1,500 and 2,000 olive trees. Olives are an important cash crop for Palestinians, who have complained of frequent attacks on their groves by settlers.
Israeli military and police spokesmen had no immediate comment. Israeli media reports said the rampage was a response by settlers to the army’s destruction hours earlier of a caravan at a settlement outpost built without Israeli government approval. Earlier today, a Palestinian died in an Israeli hospital of gunshot wounds suffered on Sunday along the border with the Gaza Strip after he refused to stop when ordered to do so by an Israeli patrol, a hospital spokeswoman said.”

Good post.
Any word on whether Obama will condemn the attacks?
Economic terror? A Non Israeli was given state execution because they sold land to the jews!!!! This by the supposed good guys the PA. A guy sold land and now he will he will die. Where is the outrage?
TO be honest a good agreement can be find . Bit I wonder if Linerals and Conservative Christians both want to make this a cartoon and thus we ignore waht is going on
Jh:
You do bring up a good point. By recognizing the injustices of the Israelis we don’t want to turn a blind eye to the injustice of the Palestinians. Both sides are being unjust.
