Israellycool: ” Because when it’s soldiers and little girls there are thousands of cameras; when it’s mythical acts of Jewish vandalism there are none.”
Here’s a video of a some pruning of an olive tree taken by Brian of London for Israellycool, which shows just how hard it is for a chainsaw to cut through the hard wood, let alone an ax.
NOTE: If in fact chainsaws were being used, why didn’t the Arabs rush out to meet them? This is such bull crap, yet the media will never ask the hard questions because they’re uninterested in the truth, but to push a meme.
Israeli settlers chop down 70 olive trees in Salfit, Nablus

Israeli settlers chopped down more than 70 olive trees between the towns of Yasuf and Jammain in the northern West Bank districts of Salfit and Nablus on Monday.
Palestinian farmers said the trees, which lay close to the illegal Israeli settlements of Ariel and Taffuh, had been cut down using chainsaws.
A local, Khalid Maali, said that because the land lay close to settler roads near the Zaatara checkpoint it had been easy for the settlers to flee afterwards.
The olive industry supports the livelihoods of roughly 80,000 families in the occupied West Bank, and the Salfit district in particular is known for its fertile soil and large olive trees.
Settlers attack olive trees in a bid to oust Palestinian farmers from their land, and a loss of a year’s crops can cause destitution for farming families.
