1. Killing trees is a crime against Judaism
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.06.14)
These "activists" should be ashamed of themselves.
2. More "palestinian" blood libel
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.06.14)
Can someone tell me how it is possible to enter an Arab village in the dead of night and cut down olive groves without so much as a single dog barking? Why? Oh, that one's easy. The ersatz "palestinians" cannot stand being out of the world's spotlight for a single solitary second. And if defacing their own property and destroying their own olive groves is the way to slither back onto page one, they're more than happy to do that. See the cuts on the trees in the photograph? Those weren't made by an axe; they were made by a chainsaw. Yet no one heard or saw a thing. Amazing, isn't it? It is worth keeping in mind that if we didn't have any ersatz "palestinians" in Judea and Samaria, we wouldn't have a problem. The time has come to send them to Gaza, where they can work on their destructive impulses with their Hamas brethren.
3. A price tag? I see it as economic terrorism ,...

4. Annual Blood Libel Time
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (10.06.14)
And every year, it is proven that the Arabs themselves did it to frame the local Jews. There are even pictures from previous years when they - and the anarchists, have gotten caught.
5. Very sad
Elisheva ,   Haifa   (10.06.14)
to destroy a tree to make your point? Loosers. I hope they"ll catch them, no matter if they are Jews or Arabs.
6. such is the hate of arabs...
Beth Epstein   (10.06.14)
that their hatred towards the Jews are so great, that they do not mind self-hurting and harming their very own children or livelihood in order to harm the Jews, cause medias anger towards the Jews. their hates for the Jews has reached a feverish state, a lethal infectious state, that peace to live together with each other is impossible. The same way they kill their own, and place their bodies in places to be blamed on the Jews and ... Jews (leftists) believe it. What happened here was: Arab residents of Burin, located south of Shechem (Nablus), arrived overnight at an olive tree orchard near the adjacent Jewish town of Givat Ronen, where they proceeded to cut down trees. Every year before the Sukkot holiday, they (the left-wing groups) send residents of the village Burin and the environs in the heart of the night to cut down olive tree branches in the area, and in the morning claim that it was done by Jews from the region.

Are Jews capable of committing the crime? Yes. Did they? At least 15 years the press, Jewish Section of Shabak and foreign-funded Leftist NGOs accuse Jews of damaging olive trees, and until now the police has found evidence against Arabs and Jewish Leftists, not once Zionists. Let's agree to one thing: instead of more blood-libel, pass a simple law: let anyone (solider, police, civilian) shoot to kill anyone seen destroying an olive tree or other agriculture terror. That will put an end to your false attacks on Jews.
8. To No.2.
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (10.06.14)
You know, this vandalism could conceivably have been undertaken by 'far left, and Arab agents provocateurs to discredit the 'rightful. inhabitants of 'Judea and Samaria'. But it's not the point, is it? It is the fact that you and others have a wonderfully manichean view of situation: Jews good, Arabs bad. It's Western movie mythology: goodies in the white hats, baddies in the black ones. You are more a product of Hollywood than of humane Judaism.
9. #3 - then I would call that of all Arab violence
William ,   Israel   (10.06.14)
including the recent stone attacks on the train Jerusalem. But since they also had the intent of harming individuals, their economic terrorism is just an addition to the bodily terrorism which they are already known for. While this act "supposedly" by Rightists was an isolated act which targeted no person.
10. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.14)
Since you can't see beyond your own hidebound hatred of Jews and of the State of Israel, guess what? No one cares what you "see." Too much bathtub vodka has seriously addled your sight, in any event.
