olives under occupation

What happens to Palestinian Olive trees after they are uprooted by the Israel? Taufik retune to his land four years after his olive trees have been uprooted. Badar speaks of the thousands dollars he and his family lost as a result of the tree uprooting and Akram tells about the uprooting of 300 trees some of them hundreds of years old.

@argonium79

It was Palestinian oil that peaked in production. Did you actually bother to read the articles? You guys are living in complete denial of reality. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. The truth is none of you give a sh*t about the Palestinians. If you did, you would deal with reality. That's the only way to really improve their situation (which isn't so bad relative to many other people in the world who you also don't give a sh*t about).

@MrsEener it is production in palestinian areas, not by palestinians. in europe the market is being flooded with products NOT labeled "made in israel" because they are made on the occupied territories by israelis.

Israelis have become inhuman thieves. Crime... Oppression. Genocide...

Palestinian Arab Olive oil production was at peak levels in 2006, at 34000 tons which was, if I understand correctly, more tons than any year on record. It's particularly interesting considering the first farmer in this video says his trees were stolen 4 years ago and the complaint at 6:18 has the year 2005. So you want me to believe all these trees were being stolen the year before the Palestinians had their best year of oil production ever? I have a bridge to sell you....

Imagemill, the world bank statistics and the articles about peak olive oil production were specifically about Arab Palestinians.  All you have to do is a quick internet search to confirm this. To reiterate, the area of Palestinian Arab olive cultivation has almost doubled in "recent years" according to the world bank.
