Ras a Tira 15 3 09 - More than thirty ancient olive trees were uprooted today

[Pal4Ever80]

for Palestinians, the olive tree signify history,tradiiton and the long relation between them and their land, and its products, for centuries, have provided the source of livelihood to thousands of them..

under the israeli occupation hundreds of thousands of those trees were uprooted, in a systematic israeli aggression in order to divest the land from its palestinian owners..

[aviGodfather]

yes, Israel deserves to be a-bombed over this.

GET REAL!

the fence is saving hundreds of people and I could live with losing a few "ancient trees".

Olive trees are not only beautiful trees under which you can sit in summer, full of memories, symbolical link to the soil, but a way to earn a living, a job. Their roots link people, villagers to the soil, too.

Oh this is so sad. And so many people hurt or dead (like little Ahmed Mousa, 10, last July) to prevent this... and last day, this kind american idealist, Tristan. So sad. Your videos are so important.

I hope people will see and understand this terrible everyday reality.

Boycott Israel.

Zionism = Racism
