Thanks

The Israeli military has destroyed about 3,000 olive trees

Wow, usually its the settlers doing the attacks and the military just standing there "protecting" them.

Israel has totally unmasked itself in the past 2 years

The army justified the measure by saying the trees posed a “security threat”

Translation: "These dirty Palestinian neighbors are able to feed themselves with the harvest from those trees! We must destroy it. They must starve "

More than that, olive trees grow super super slow and some of those trees are hundreds of years old some still thousands. Once they're gone even if you grow in the same place with the same seed you won't ever get the same product again.
