An Olive Grove in Occupied Palestine
Almost every Palestinian village has olive groves that border on some settlement or \"outpost\", and that is now controlled by the settlers. When the owners approach to clean the ground or pick the olives, the settlers shoot at them \"in coordination with the army\". The simple pretext: when the villagers pick olives near a settlement, they can see what happens there and threaten it. A monstrous perversion, indeed: putting a settlement in the middle of a dense population of Palestinians and forbidding them to work their land, because it is close to the settlement.
