Palestinian olive trees destroyed by Israeli military

by moth
What is the future of the Palestinians after the destruction of their olive trees by the Israeli military? For hundreds of years the Palestinians tended the drought tolerant olive trees, now the trees are no longer there..
The long term effect of the Israeli army's destruction of the Palestinian olive trees is unmeasurable. Trees as old as 600 years or more were uprooted by the Israelis and removed from near the Palestinian homes. The reason given by the Israeli government was for the building of the "Security Wall" that separates the Palestinians from their olive trees and the rest of Israel..

The olive trees of Palestine are drought tolerant and well adapted to the stony desert soil. For hundreds of years the Palestinian people have tended the olive trees and harvested the olives, filled with life giving nutrients. In less than one month, the Israeli military and settlers removed the trees and sold them to wealthy Israelis. Many other trees died in the process..

Q: Why is Israel so destructive to the Palestinian people and their olive trees?

A: Zionism fueled by right wing religious fundamentalism and the petroleum hOILy war.

Bush and Sharon support Zionism because it benefits their military petroleum corporations via delusional Armageddon hype. A hOILy war feeds the flames, giving people religious delusional reasoning to fight other humans. Having Israel as the Middle East nuclear superpower benefits the US OILigarchy..

The destruction of Palestinian olive trees, the Universal symbol of peace, show that Bush/Sharon care nothing for peace. War is more profitable for the global corporate elite than peace.The more violence, the closer to Armageddon and martial law global domination. Arafat claims to support the Palestinians and plays the role of the opposition leader to Israel, though his real game is playing in the lap of his two masters Bush and Sharon. Arafat's right wing politics only harm the Palestinian people..

The Saudi royalty and Bush family friends the Bin Ladens work together (9/11) in the game of oil well domination. Right wing fundamentalist Islam mirrors right wing fundamentalist Christianity/Zionist Judaism. All three are homophobic, patriarchal and anti-pagan. Remember how Zionist Jerry Falwell blamed the pagans, gays, secular humanists, etc. the day after 9/11?

Jump from Palestine to Humboldt County CA where Zionist Charles Hurwitz (CEO MAXXAM corporation) clear cut redwoods after MAXXAM corporation took over Pacific Lumber in the mid-eighties. The amount of old growth redwoods removed since then makes enough money to contribute support of the development of US/Israel nuclear weapons industry..

Where's the proof of the above accusation? Obviously there is none, why would someone involved since the Savings and Loan (w/ Micheal Milkin/ Ivan Bosky) scandal leave any evidence this time around? Could someone find out where the money from the redwoods went, and where the money for US/Israeli nuclear weapons came from? Most money for the military is from US taxpayers and cut social programs (education, food, housing, etc), though corporate contributions from Zionists like Falwell, Hurwitz, etc are furthering their agenda for global domination..

There's OIL and minerals (metal armor for tanks, radioactive elements, etc) in the mountains of Afganistan! Dropping bombs on Afganistan's mountains mimics seismic disturbance that fractures rock formations, making mining easier after military control is certain..

The Iraqis, Palestinians, Israelis, Americans are caught fighting one another when instead we should challenge our "leaders" pushing us on the warpath to oblivion..

This fall of 2004 the Palestinians will not have many olives to harvest. Most of their trees have already been removed from near their homes, those remaining are separated from the people by the "Security Fence" that was built by Israel..

Both the olive trees and redwoods were hundreds of years old and their sacred life energy was severed for corporate military gain. The spirits of dead olive trees and dead redwoods cry out against the injustice committed by thoughtless humans who claim themselves as leaders..
