Charming....
Here's the thing. The damage and destruction of olive trees has been a long-term issue, so much so that Ariel Sharon spoke out against it a long time ago and put the blame where it belongs, on extremist settlers.
I watched that video and all I could make out was that a settler was filming unidentifiable people doing something to a tree. I've got no idea who they are, and no-one in their right mind who wasn't the sort of person to defend extremist settlers would just take their word for it.
Even if it was what the settler said it was, how does that make it that you doubt most, if not all incidents of settlers damaging and destroying trees? Is that also yr attitude towards rape accusations? After all, a small percentage of reported rapes in the US turn out to be false accusations and some misogynists use that to argue that most rape accusations are false.
Also, lots of human rights groups have reported on incidents. I don't know where you get the idea that it all comes from one group. Probably the same place you get the idea that I support the ISM. I don't hate them with a frothing, bubbling, intense and manic hatred, but neither do I support them. I don't really support anything. I used to support Amnesty International, but I hit a financial bump and had to stop my donations, so that's as close to supporting a group as I get...
btw, knock off the nonsense about me taking the word of Jew haters for granted. That's fucking nasty bullshit. If yr going to get straight into inventing things like that, I'll doubly return the favour. So, from this point on, keep things civil and let me tell you what I think and what I agree or disagree with, not the other way round. That way things will be breezy, okay?
Carry on....
