Settler saboteurs target Palestinian olive trees
================================================

Mahfuz Abu al Nasr, a Palestinian farmer from the West Bank village of Salem,
was grieving yesterday over the wreckage of his livelihood. Jewish settlers
had come in the night and destroyed 30 olive trees he planted a decade ago,
in revenge for the deaths of three young Israelis in a drive-by shooting last
Sunday.
"It is like losing your son," said Mr Nasr, 65, who has 10 children. "I
watched them grow every year. At last they were producing. Every tree was as
big as a house."
The trees lay scattered on the rocky ground, cut down by power saws. The
crushed branches still bore olives ripe for harvest. Only seven trees on his
two-acre plot had survived. "I have no shop, no sheep, no cows," he said
sadly. "I only had my olive trees."
This was not the first time that militant settlers, waging a war of attrition
against their neighbours in the hills east of Nablus for the past four years,
had raided his grove.
Every year, their attacks cost Mr Nasr 5,000kg of olives and 180 litres of
oil. He is going to plant new trees, but he will have to wait years until
they bear fruit. This time, the vengeful settlers had lopped and burned trees
on 70 Salem farms.
