We all learned about the Olive tree as sign of Peace. One of the most abused symbol is the dove with an olive branch first described in the Book of Genesis. It seems however that the Israelis have forgotten about it.
The colons and the army cut olive trees, the main resource of many Palestinians, the result of tens of years of efforts to grow them, thus destroying morally and materially the owners lives and history. Israelis incorporate fields of olive trees into their security perimeter, behind the wall (does anybody remember of the iron wall so much criticized by the “free world” ?) forbidding the Palestinian owners to care for and harvest them.
This is their way build peace : to cultivate hatre so that pace will be impossible. So obvious, only they and the US administration do not seem to see it and peace is every day more difficult to achieve.
