The "settlers" were said to come from nearby Shiloh - on Saturday morning.
Shiloh is a religious Jewish community, and its residents wouldn't cut down trees on the Sabbath. (Cutting down 40 olive trees would take a great deal of time and effort.)
Not one of the articles showed any uprooted or damaged trees that were not archive photos. In an age when literally everyone carries a camera in their pocket, it is inconceivable that there would be no photos of this massive destruction.
And if the Palestinians are lying about this destruction of trees, how many other times are they lying about it as well?
