I wonder if these sociopaths we have as settlers ever think of the harm they have brought to their Palestinian neighbors during Yom Kippur. I doubt it!

Why does the world hate us? Duh!

Jewish settlers have cut down and uprooted hundreds of olive trees on Palestinian farms near the West Bank city of Nablus, residents and Israeli police said.

Residents of Salem said dozens of settlers from Elon Moreh on Sunday chopped down hundreds of the town's olive trees, the main source of income for 5000 residents.

"This is not the first time that settlers have cut down dozens of olive trees. Among them were trees more than 30 years old," said Adli Eshiya, a local councillor. Villagers said it was the sixth such attack this year.

Police said that at least 200 olive trees had been destroyed near Salem and that an investigation had begun.

A spokesman for Elon Moreh settlement, Benny Katsover, said he was not aware of the incident
