The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian affairs reported that over 2,500 olive trees were destroyed in September 2011, and 7,500 throughout 2011. The Palestinian olive-picking season has just begun and already settlers are burning and attacking olive trees and raiding Palestinian villages. Such atrocious behaviour is simply unacceptable, and clearly un-Jewish. The core of the problem? The occupation.

"I have decided to not buy any product that comes from the settlements ... Because everything happening across the Green Line is the dark alter ego of Israel. ... If, God forbid, the Green Line will be permanently erased, from consciousness and from the ground, then Israel will also be erased. The struggle for the preservation of the Green Line is the struggle for Israel."

This picture is taken by a friend, who's travelling in Israel now. As he said, "The on-going GPS 'Shortest distance vs Quickest time' dilemma taken to a new level..." Who would have thought?
