When an olive branch doesn't mean peace
By Khalid Amayreh in the West Bank

Monday 07 June 2004



As Muhammad Hasan Swaiti was working in his olive orchard recently an Israeli army officer accompanied by several rifle-wielding soldiers came to take his land.

The 75-year-old, whose family has owned the fields for generations, listened while the officer told him in broken Arabic that his land was to be confiscated.

2. Yeah, nothing new about it...
though it doesn't stop being heartbreaking to read these stories about people having everything they own stolen from them...
