violently claim more territory in the West Bank
“They have taken it all,” the 37 year old olive oil producer said forlornly. Over the past two years, he estimates that the settlers have seized 3,000 acres, which includes 70 per cent of his own land.
“They steal our farming equipment, cut our trees, and burn them. We are all scared,” he said. In an attack last year, his uncle and aunt were badly beaten while working on the land.
He showed dozens of videos showing the “settlers” grazing their cattle through Palestinian land, destroying vegetation and olive trees, as well as gun wielding “settlers” burning land.
“Why do they come to us carrying guns? Do they want peace? I do not think so,” he said.
