Wafa and a whole bunch of other Arab sources report:
Settlers cut, today, Saturday, about 30 olive trees from Qaryut lands, south of Nablus.
The official in charge of the settlement file in the northern West Bank, Ghassan Douglas, told "Wafa" that settlers cut down about 30 olive trees in the town's lands, owned by Bilal Mahmoud Raja.
This is not an exaggeration. It is his job, and he has been quoted in major media outlets who cannot believe that he is a professional liar.
In this case, as in virtually all the articles he is quoted in, there is no photographic evidence of the crime he is accusing Jews of doing.
Every article I saw about this absurd accusation, that the religious Jews of communities near Nablus would chop down trees on Shabbat, shows "archival footage" rather than any actual photos of the destroyed trees.
Even though every adult nowadays is walking around with a high resolution camera in their pocket, there are no photos.
That's truly amazing!
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
