Settlers plant trees in it and it's declared "Nature preserve" by Israeli law, therefore state land! As simple as that!
"Some 40-50 settlers reportedly arrived between 8-9am, along with about 20 soldiers in six or seven jeeps.
Settlers planted about 60 pine seedlings on the terrace directly above the family’s home, the Palestinian said. The Israeli army protected the settlers and prevented the Palestinian family from talking to the settlers, he added, noting that the settlers left about 11am.
The seemingly innocent issue of tree planting is sensitive in some Palestinian communities because under Israeli law, green hills are defined as nature preserves, and therefore are state land, the team said."

I have a feeling, someone, you know who, will come and say, but isn't it a good thing to plant trees?!! I'm waiting for him!
It's a good thing to plant trees, and it's not a good thing that Arabs put their houses on land that isn't theirs; on nature reserves.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous Guest, it's Israel that has caused irretrievable environmental harm to Palestine, and even to Israel itself, so your pretend concern for "nature reserves" is a bit, shall we say, disingenuous.
ReplyDeleteBut what I want to know is: did they pay market price for it? LOL...
Hey guest, if I stick feathers up your ass does that make you a bird?
