Brennt Palestine?

http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/8724 Settlers burn 3,000 olive trees in southern Nablus October 18, 2008 Nablus / PNN – Fires set by Israeli settlers in southern Nablus olive groves are up this year, reports journalist Ali Daraghmeh. "This year settlers south of the city of Nablus burned about 3,000 olive trees. The settlers are also burning cars and beating farmers. This week four people were hospitalized." Ghassan, a local official in municipal affairs, described "masked gunmen attacking farmers in 33 basin areas in Salfit and 39 in Nablus." Israeli settlements in the West Bank are most often built on hills and then spread down. Palestinian agricultural lands are afflicted from the initial land confiscation to the eventual threat in the basin areas. Fields just beyond those overtaken are particularly dangerous. Officials note that the coordination between the Israeli army and Palestinian residents does not provide security to the farmer. Ghassan said today, "The initial dates for protection were not abided under the pretext of the Jewish holidays and closures. We are in contact with each village under attack by settlements and monitor all ongoing damage. The reports go to the President and Prime Minister." America at present is a country of grifters and scam artists.
Our failure to secure a just end to the Palestine problem is the original sin of our incompetence. The history of the USA since WW II has been big promise and bigger failure.
We act like a nation of greedy and malevolent children who wallow in their ignorance.
