1. Jews may have or may not have been behind the cutting of the
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.16.12)
trees. But, why don't the Arabs produce evidence and approach the legal system to demand justice? They do approach the legal system with regard to complains. Why not do so now as well, with the aim of ensuring that the violators are brought to justice and imprisoned if necessary?
2. Who needs proof for Arabs to riot?Trendy dressed for cameras
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (10.16.12)
well fed. Need more handouts from the USA & EU
3. Aren't those Arab!, Uproot their own trees and then complain
miki ,   tampa   (10.16.12)
We steal their land, take their houses, burn their crops, uproot their trees, torch their mosques and churches then expect them to sit still and shut up. What a country we have become.
4. There are black sheep in both camps
Naomi   (10.16.12)
5. Olive grove
Edouard ,   Canada Montreal   (10.16.12)
Realy..... All this about olives??? The problem is that the Arabs use to go and plant they trees just anywhere ,the efendy who us to own it was a syrian or an Egyptian and he did not care he was sending someone to collect some money 2 or 3 times a year Now they do the same thing they plant trees just anywhere ,to their convegniance ,they do not want to understand that this land belong to other people and that they can't go and take the olive that are NOT BELONG TO THEM
6. Israel snared
A very Heavy Stone ,   Florida   (10.16.12)
Exodus 23 "You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
7. A SIMPLE QUESTIONS
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.16.12)
Do any of these Arabs happen to have a deed or land title to the land that they're claiming to be theirs ?
8. discernment
john ,   toronto   (10.16.12)
Forget these kind of words , these are meant for people who know the difference between good and evil.
9. trees
john ,   toronto   (10.16.12)
what crime have the trees done to be uprooted.
10. #3 Indeed Miki from Tampa, Florida
A ,   Belgium   (10.16.12)
"What a country we have become." Indeed the U.S. has become a TERRIBLE country!
11. #9 simple really
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.16.12)
There are two types of trees. Trees planted by Jewish farmers have committed the crime that they belong to the Jew, and so the Arab settlers destroy them. The crime the trees planted by Arab settlers is that foreigners pay the Arab settlers more money to uproot the trees than the Arab settler could earn by harvesting the olives.
12. We cut trees - they cut throats
David ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
While I completely disagree with any inflammation done by Israelis towards the Palestinians, I still have to say that we only have to look at examples like Itamar where an entire family was slaughtered in their beds to see who really are worse in this situation. There needs to be more done to stop the fanning of flames
13. israeli justice at it's finest. Attack the victims especial

14. #7
Lio ,   London UK   (10.16.12)
Uh - apart from a story in an old book - do you (and any of these other squatters)?
15. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.16.12)
Hell, John, you're talking about people who sell their children to be suicide bombers. What's a tree to someone who is capable of doing that? Just another living thing to be sacrificed for no good purpose. But, as I said -- you need to keep things in perspective. These people have no compunction about strapping their children into suicide vests for a measly $10,000 gratuity. What else is there to say?
16. Brace for mass civil action - Palestine will be free
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (10.16.12)
No more routes dissecting our lands, no more checkpoints, no more humiliation, no more exile! Palestine is already here, recognized by 134 nations. The more you continue to make life a living hell for us, the indigenous population that was here CENTURIES before the word Zionism was even uttered, the more you will be surprised. We are here to stay - nomartter how many trees you chop down (against your own teachings) or how many roadblocks you erect.
17. A #10
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.16.12)
Yes but it may get better in November.
18. LIo #14
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.16.12)
Archeology proves the old book is correct. There is plenty of historical evidence to back Israel. Perhaps you should spend more time in the old book and less in comic books?
19. KARMA
TwtAnkhAmwn ,   Cairo, Egypt   (10.16.12)
For EVERY action there is an opposite & EQUAL re-action. IHVH is not the Omnipotent force you think he is. You are foolish people to believe that you can ignore your neighboring countries: look @ the terrorism happening at the US / Mexican border.
20. believing certified liars
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (10.16.12)
Who should we believe, the Arabs or the Jewish settlers? Well who has a history of lying? the Arabs or Jews? It does not take much resarch to see that the Arabs not only have lied much in the past, but according to the Koran (which I urge every one to read - not to believe) a tactic of Muhammad was lying. What he did is to be copied by every Muslim. Who to believe? I believe the people who work honestly for their living, who exceed in the world at large through hard work and through being honest. I believe the people who have given mankind more Nobel winners than any other group. Guess who...
21. Occupation? What Occupation?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.16.12)
A thousand years from now, the Arab will still claim that Israel is occupying the Land of Israel. They cannot accept the fact that we were here first - 3000 years ago...... and we never gave up our claim to the Land.
22. Olive trees
Mark ,   London, UK   (10.16.12)
Sadly, I feel there may be something in this. It must be very frustrating to wait all year for your olive harvest and then have it destroyed. Good olives are expensive where I live, but I can't imagine it's a very profitable business un the local market.
23. #14 - yes, many land deeds are in possession by Jews
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
They are housed in the Jerusalem Museum and are used to reclaim stolen land by Arabs from the 1949 illegal annexation and ethnic cleansing of Jews. When Arabs claim ownership of the land, but can't prove it even in the Ottoman-era Taba, they argue their neighbors can vouch for them being long-term residents. If you guys want to argue based on law, then be prepared to be subjected to it as well.
24. #18- no, Zionists just went back in time to plant "evidence"
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
This and many other Arab tall tales to be released soon via Penguin Publishing.
25. #16 - you didn't have any of that in 1999
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
so why did you launch a violent racist terror campaign on Jewish civilians? You claim to be indigenous yet Hamas admits the residents of Gaza are Egyptians and Saudis, and Jordan admits to flooding the West Bank with foreign Arabs between 1949-1967 into Jewish homes and property, and the British admit to massive illegal immigration by Muslims in the 1930s. Life was fantastic for you in 1999, with the fastest growing economy, NO checkpoints or security wall, freedom of movement into Israel and beyond, and a practically assured State of your own. If all you want is peace, you wouldn't have caused war. You made life hell for so many and in return, you lost a great chance to a decent life. I didn't see Pallys in the streets protesting Arafat's choice of terrorism or Hamas declaration of war and threats to annihilate Israel. Until you do that, you will never have peace, I assure you.
26. #19 - Isn't the Arab world dealing with more local terror
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
than other countries, including the US? Take all of the incidents of terror around the world and they have one of two common themes - Drugs and Islam. or in other words, money and racist violent ideology. Malala would attest to that.
27. #19 Koran not Karma
(10.16.12)
You should know, there is no karma and the name you mock is Allah's. Learn that only one of the 73 will be saved. Now I will tell you a secret: the one of 73 is the one who recognizes the rights of the people of the book. The 72 who deny the people of the book will learn what hell is.
28. WIlliam #24
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.16.12)
I think Lio is one of Pengiun Publishing's best customers.
29. #17 Key word...."may"....as opposed to "may not"
(10.16.12)
30. #12 ARABS GOT OFF EASY
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.16.12)
They should have been jailed for destroying trees on property that wasn't their in the fiirst place
