Palestine: Jewish Settlers Torch 100 of World's Oldest Olive Trees

Israeli settlers in the northern occupied West Bank have razed to the ground huge swathes of Palestinian-owned agricultural land in the town of Huwara, according to reports.

The fields were set on fire by "masked settlers", Al-Resalah newspaper reports, who snuck on to the land and poured petrol on it before setting it alight. Around 100 olive trees were destroyed in the blaze, which spread as locals were prevented from attending the fire by Israeli forces.

Olive trees in Israel hold vast religious and cultural significance to both Jews and Palestinians. As well as being the livelihood of many Palestinian farmers, the trees are thought to be the
"oldest on Earth"
and are mentioned in the Old Testament numerous times.

Selectively editing, as usual. From your link:


“However the Jewish press in Israel is reporting that the cause of the fires is unknown and Israeli and Palestinian fire crews "worked together" to put out the blaze. The Jerusalem Post reports that police are investigating the incident.”

Ahed Tamimi Offers Israelis a Lesson Worthy of Gandhi

Opinion —
Sixteen-year-old Ahed Tamimi may not be what Israelis had in mind when, over many years, they criticised Palestinians for not producing a Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela.

Eventually, colonized peoples bring to the fore a figure best suited to challenge the rotten values at the core of the society oppressing them. Ahed is well qualified for the task.

She was charged last week with assault and incitement after she slapped two heavily armed Israeli soldiers as they refused to leave the courtyard of her family home in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah. Her mother, Nariman, is in detention for filming the incident. The video quickly went viral.

Ahed lashed out shortly after soldiers nearby shot her 15-year-old cousin in the face, seriously injuring him.

For years, she and other villagers have held a weekly confrontation with the Israeli army as it enforces the rule of Jewish settlers over Nabi Saleh. These settlers have forcibly taken over the village’s lands and ancient spring, a vital water source for a community that depends on farming.

Distinctive for her irrepressible blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, Ahed has been filmed regularly since she was a small girl confronting soldiers who tower above her. Such scenes inspired one veteran Israeli peace activist to anoint her Palestine’s Joan of Arc.

Ahed Tamimi Offers Israelis a Lesson Worthy of Gandhi

That’s rather silly. Gandhi used non-violent means. Did Gandhi ever assault anyone?

Israel deports 14-year-old girl to Gaza — without telling her parents

Israeli authorities deported a 14-year-old epileptic Palestinian girl from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip earlier this month, without notifying her parents, and despite the fact that she has never lived there a day in her life.

What Tinmore neglects to point out is that the girl and her father were registered as residents of Gaza and were living illegally in the West Bank. (And from there travelling illegally into Jerusalem, a habit that the girl has apparently been routinely arrested for.) Seems to me the Israeli error was not in deporting her to her registered place of residence -- but for failing to round up the other illegal members of her family and deporting them with her.

There is also something fishy about how this story is written with the refrains of "without notifying her parents". Someone in her family paid her bail to be released, so obviously the family was informed of her arrest, if not her release point.

In principal or in actuality? In principal yes, if there could be a functioning Palestinian state in those areas someday. In actuality, no--they are ruled by different factions, and the West Bank is controlled partially by Israel.

Even Oslo said that they were one territorial unit.

Debatable.

So she was released to her registered place of residence. What's the problem, again?

Because of realities on the ground that have changed since Oslo. Gaza is now ruled by Hamas. The West Bank is ruled jointly by the PA and Israel.

Indeed, you are befuddled by history, Oslo was an interim agreement berween the PLO and Israel. The hamas terrorists were actually ramping up their attacks.

You are just posting more buffoonery.

Indeed, Oslo expired in1999. So why is there still an area A, B, and C?

Probably to ensure that arrested persons properly make their way back home to their, you know, actual home.

To a place she had never been? Leave it up to Israel to come up with something completely stupid.
