YOU'RE NOT ON 'THE LAND OF ISRAEL'!!!! You are a SETTLERS NOT RESIDENCE!! In other words you are swatting on occupied territory!! So quit your antagonizing actions and stop the lies!! Go back to Israel and live humbly and plainly inhabit the land there!!! You'll that these types of vandalism will land you in jail or worse!!

PS, you are also a faker since no Jew especially a secular would use that term as a username.

Or maybe just Asherman starting another blood libel. As if he doesn't have enough innocent blood on his hands.

This boring lie of settlers destroying Arab olive-trees comes up in every two or three months on Ynet. When will pals and left wing peace provocateurs learn that Jews are prohibited to destroy the trees of the enemy? This whole story is written proof of lefty cowardness and their criminal activities.

But when it comes to protecting our own citizens, well, that's secondary at best.

Without even checking facts and without even remembering that they're almost always lies?

The Arabs uprooted their own trees for the last few years, so they could get compensation over and above their worth. All their antics have been previously caught on film, (not reported by YNet or any other left wing media outlet). Why does YNet continually for for, and propagate these lies when there's no proof?

The Palestinians liars at it again! They are blaming the settlers for pruning and uprooting their own trees. We torah Jews are not allow to destroy fruit trees even our enemies. Why don't we hear from Mr. Arik Asherman of the Rabbits for Human Rights? When his friends the Palestinians are attacking the peaceful citizens of Israel even within the green line!

I would not be surprised if there is some settler group to blame for this. Does it not mention something in the Torah, that they hold so dearly, that you are not allowed to cut down your 'enemy's' trees? 200 trees what a pity for the people who lived off the produce and what a pity for ecology!

OH MY A FEW TREES WERE GIVEN A NEW HOME WHERE THEY WOULD RECEIVE WATER AND CARE DAILY, THAT IS A REAL ISSUE! WHAT HAPPENED AND HAPPENS TO JEWS THAT WERE AND ARE RIPPED FROM THEIR HOMES? THEY ROT IN THE STREETS THAT IS WHAT! BUT I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR THOSE UGLY SETTLERS THAT LEFT THEIR LOYAL PETS BEHIND ABANDONING THEM ALL TO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF ARAB TERRORISTS, MANY WERE TORTURED TO DEATH, THE ARABS CALLED IT A SYMBOLIC RITUAL.

The so called settlers have no business in the land of Palestine anyway as their outpost is illegal, so bulldoze the outpost and return these despicable settler thugs to Israel proper. Let them humbly and plainly settle in the Negev where Israel's future lies.

Don't humbly and plainly inhabit Israel, if you know what's good for you. We take a good deal of time to say what it is that we have to say.

They are a bunch of liars! Here they claim 200 olive trees uprooted, but in police report they claimed 160. They are out to demonize Havat Gilad. Put arabs & leftist bolshevik on trial for felony perjury, filing false report, false statements, larceny. Allow good people of Havat Gilad to execute sentence upon arab/leftist criminals.

At least they didn't bare their bums to the unfortunate palistinian peasants!!!!!!

than the local people can ever care for or need. Planting new trees is purely political activity. Anyone who wants to visit the area can easily see this even if they have no agricultural background whatever!!!!

they can not defened themselves ,but sure they feel the pain to be uprooted ..and olive tree is a blessing tree god say that about it and it must not belong only to the one love her take care of her like my grandfathers .bad to uproot these trees or do pain to any creature

Any time Jewish settlers say they didn't do it I look at the record: over 2 million Palestinian trees uprooted or otherwise destroyed, 750,000 of them olive trees needed for making a living. The settlers are liars and vandals. More than that, they are hateful racists.

This is an anti_Jewish rant, Gerrold. Come and see for yourself that there are more olive trees than population! Even in the days of King Hussein of Jordan they couldnt find a market for much of the oil from all their trees
