1. 100 or 40...Whats the difference?
GetRiddaThat ,   herzliya , Israel   (02.23.10)
whether settlers destroyed 100 trees or 40 trees, it is still wrong! why even fight about the numbers? stop destroying property that does not belong to you! destroying somebody's source of income is just wrong.
2. .."No comment was received from the IDF"
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.23.10)
WHAT A FUNNY:) Are you kidding?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.23.10)
The truth is that a settler wouldn't cut down a tree, even an Arab tree, because it is a Torah prohibition against destroying trees, any tree for any reason, in the Holy Land. On the other hand, the Arabs themselves have no qualms about cutting down their own, or putting their own children in the line of fire, to try to create an international incident.
4. # The Truth is, you can't stand the truth!.
Edithann ,   USA   (02.23.10)
.No Palestinian would cut an Olive tree...And Palestinians love their children just as Jews love theirs... You just can't stand the thought that you know your own did it... TATA
5. Welcome to Paldora
Alitar   (02.23.10)
where the trees are cut and the livelihood of the indigenous being destroyed, their homes being bulldozed and their land taken away...
6. #3: May I quote Lieberman: "No evidence"
Realist   (02.23.10)
and still, we all know who is the oppressor.
7. This is Israel's barbaric face to the world...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.23.10)
...but do not worry. I am sure that PR Web site will dispel all these atrocities and replace them with visions of camels, BBQ's and tomatoes.
8. once again
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.23.10)
This is starting to get boring. Every year the press reports that Jews cut down Arab trees. Yet, the is never any evidence or indication that it was Jews, except once soldiers caught an Israeli Leftist walking around with a chainsaw. Last year the Jews managed to photograph Arabs cutting down their own trees before the story blaming the Jews hit the press.
9. Since State began paying for tree claims, claims have risen
Mea   (02.23.10)
Plainand simply this is the case.
10. Get these people behind bars
Mikael ,   Gothenburg   (02.23.10)
In any civilized society, trespasser and vandals would be dealt with by the police. You don’t have to be Einstein to get these people behind bars.
11. #2 - IDF cannot comment on issues under investigation
William ,   Israel   (02.23.10)
It's like that with all investigative bodies....except the Arabs who are masters at spinning more stories than actually uncovering the truth. Case in point is "Dubai Ali", the Police Chief
12. IDF doesn't care
Ron Morrison   (02.23.10)
There have been dozens of these cases and the police have never even worked hard enough to dig up hard evidence. They distort the rigtheous Arab claims until they are blown out of proportion and sound ridiculous.
13. #4 - "Pals love their kids like Jews do"
William ,   Israel   (02.23.10)
Yeah....maybe it's a different kind of love. Like when Jews send their kids to school with a sandwich and an apple, and "Pals" send their kids to school with a pipebomb.
14. #5 - Beyond your largely fictitious posting...
William ,   Israel   (02.23.10)
I have one question for you.... where are the land deeds for these very people who claim to own the land, but were never registered in centuries of Turkish records but still claim an legacy here?
15. #12 - "Righteous Arab claims"?
William ,   Israel   (02.23.10)
With so many lies they were caught in, including the one cited in #8, where Arabs and Leftists were caught on separate occassions doing damage in order to frame settlers. How is deceit considered "righteous"?
16. Socially retarded
Gary Williams ,   Canada   (02.24.10)
William, just because your own cognitive skill development was stopped short for whatever reason, leaving you with a mind that sees only a black and white, us vs them, right vs wrong world where people are either with you and the "good" guys, or them - the evil terrorist side, the rest of us are capable of seeing both right and wrong deeds and ideas coming from both sides in this struggle. And believe me, the rest of the world isn't nearly as blind or stupid as you must think them given your expectation they will believe the BS your shoveling. And to claim that a Pali, after a lifetime of watching settlers get away with literally murder by an IDF that sees them as the enemy, courts that charge them with murder if they kill a Jewish terrorist who attacks them (as happened a while ago on a bus) but refuses to charge a Jew whom other Jews even witnessed shooting Palis. Do you seriously expect anyone to believe that anyone could be so stupid as to think they could frame a Jew for a crime like cutting down their own trees in an atmosphere like that? That would be the same as a black man in 1920's Mississippi, raping a white woman then getting a couple of friends together to go to the local white sheriff and try to tell him it was really another white boy who did it. NOBODY is that stupid! Although now that I think of it, perhaps someone stupid enough to think others might believe such a bizarre story might also be stupid enough to believe it himself...which brings up the question of whether you actually believe the crap your telling us or do you just have no qualms about lying when trying to make your case for the Zionist POV? You know, most of us also realized around the age of 10 oe 12 that is we have to make things up in order to promote a particular POV then that POV surely isn't worth trying to defend or promote in the first place. If t was the right side you wouldn't have to make stuff up in order to sell it to others. .
