mobius1ski, fuck you
self-hating ‘jews’ like are worse than arabs
Now johnsmith here, even if he’s not a “Palestinian,” has cut right through all the lies and demonstrated for us all the real aspirations of “Palestinians.”
Thanks, john.
Typically trees are cut after snipers hiding behind them start shooting at cars passing by.
Why do the Jews ransack these peoples land? I thought scorched earth went out of style with Ghengish Khan.
its only trees stop crying you pussy
why are they doing that? how sad the poor dude wanted his land and wanted peace. i pray that one day there is peace in that land
As every day goes on, this American’s support goes to the people of Palestine.
A perfect example of anti-Israel propaganda. A total of 28 trees were uprooted to build a sewerage system to serve the inhabitants of Efrata. Due to the typography, there was no other route for the sewerage system. Plus, many trees were replanted in other areas and the owners of the destroyed trees were paid $850. for each — much more than 5 years of harvesting them could have ever brought. Try to present balanced facts before you upload this slanted garbage — it is very irresponsible!
Slanted garbage! I am more inclined to believe its a perfect example of Israel once again taking what does not belong to it,
Efrata is an illegal west bank settlement on land stolen from the local Palastinians, this video is not propaganda it simply portrays the Zionists as what they are heartless Thieves.
Sure, paint everything as propaganda that flies in the face of your distorted views on Israel. I have offered irrefutable facts from a relative who is a member of the VAAD Committee who administered the sewer project in Efrata. Also the West Bank was won by Israel in the 6 Day War. The Arabs were offered return of captured land in exchange for peace but they were confident of further arms shipments from Russia, and the support of the UN, so they haughtily refused & vowed revenge.
Arabs were offered return of captured land in exchange!!!!
Wow how often have I heared that croc, the Palastinians were offered back a tiny fraction of the land that the Zionist’s stole.
Analogy…! if my neighbor annexed my back garden and then offered to return my kids sand pit as a full and final settlement I would rather break his jaw then accept his derisory offer, would’nt you..!
When you wage war against another nation you not only risk not winning the conquest (of land, people, resources, etc.) but you also risk losing those things that were your own. I think Israel was magnanimous in offering to return ALL captured land in exchange for it to be recognized and for lasting peace. Without those concessions, and with Arabs swearing revenge, they would be mighty foolish to relinquish the only buffer zones that stand between them and extinction.
man dont defend your self appointed leaders so vigoursly,
what a load of bullshit!!!! fucking shit is coming out of your mouth not sewerage system!!! You fucking thick bastard
350. Yeah like your ass would know what took place when you live in the U.K.! I have relatives in that area who tell it like it is so my statements are based on authoritative sources – not on anti-Israel bullshit rhetoric like what spouts out of your ugly mouth.
SHUT UP YOU RACIST FASCIST TWAT – I have friends in Palestine whom I am in contact with regularly. DOnt give me your uneducated shit! Get out of the way you pea brain
You STFU you moron – you are the one who is the hate monger and believe everything you read about Israel. I am MUCH better educated than you and I don’t get my information from propagandists like you or your supposed friends — or this lame video. So piss off!
Rot in hell traitor! Those camel-fuckers were compensated for all the trees!
Wtf are all of you bitching about?
And these fucking Israeli anarchists should move to Saudi Arabia. See how they like you there!
Maybe there were HAMAS weapons stored in there or even the tunnels.
or maybe not
torah prohibits destroying fruit trees.
Im a gardener and i hate destruction of somebody others gardenwork – in this case farmwork!
But just think of some points:
1. Israel will compensate the farmers for the destruction of the trees even if they were planted without permission.
2. Building around the illegal planted trees,will cost more then compensating the trees xx times.
3.The IDF is not uprooting the apricot-trees! The trees get uprooted by a company – the IDF just protect the workers from getting lynched.
Me as a gardener would love to save this trees – but…
1. Getting the trees out without destroying the roots, is difficult even with a big digger.
2. Transporting the trees in this climate and in times of bloom will kill most of the trees. The surviving trees will loose their fruits.
3. 90% of the trees will die on the transport to an other place.
Uprooting this trees was the only way to get this project done as fast and cheep as possible. It sounds hard but thats the truth.
Zionist’s in reality are economic migrants seeking out a better life for themselfs at the expence of the true owners of the land, if a problem such is shown in this video gets in the way, then they come up with the God gave me the land bullshit, Zioinism is no more then theft sanctioned by Zionists themselfs, I mean what link can a white euopean ever claim the middle east?
They Are Economic Migrants Who Are Permitted to Steal Whatever They Want From The Weaker Palestinian Neighbours.
Who comes up with the idea of anything in neighbor’s yard to plant?
