I still see no link to the original story, just to the Jpost home page.
Burning olive trees seems exceptionally stupid. The tree is able to produce fruit for hundreds of years. There have been false accusations of this forever. No clue as to why it would be done, what is to be gained by it. Maybe the point is to make Jews look stupid and short sighted. Since the Jewish settlers have been the ones doing most of the work on making the land productive, this business of burning olive trees seems counter to facts on the ground
