Arabs and leftists uprooted a Jewish orchard and went on to plant olive trees outside a Jewish community on the Jewish "New Year of Trees." One left-wing activist hit a security guard with his car.
The incident occurred Saturday morning at Sde Boaz, a hilltop community in Gush Etzion located at the region's highest point, between N'vei Daniel and Beitar Illit.
The destroyed orchard consisted of apple, cherry, pomegranate, pear, carob and olive trees. After cutting down the trees, a dozen activists made their way to Sde Boaz. They accompanied Arabs from the PA-controlled village of El-Khader and began planting olive trees adjacent to the Jewish community.
When Jews are alleged (and more often than not, falsely accused) of destroying Arab-owned olive trees it raises international ire, calls for harsh and swift punishment .
I doubt you will hear anything in any media source other than Arutz Sheva about the above vandalism and impunity.
Tu-b'Shvat Sameach to all who care.
