Israeli edict allows settlers to take West Bank olives
A prominent Israeli rabbi issued a ruling permitting settlers to steal and harvest olives from Palestinian lands in the West Bank, claiming that this proves Jewish ownership of the land. Rabbi Dov Lior justified this ruling based on extremist interpretations of Jewish law, asserting that Palestinian planting of trees does not grant them ownership rights, and that any attacks against farmers and destruction of their crops are considered legitimate. This ruling coincides with a rise in settler attacks against Palestinian farmers, including assaults, destruction of trees, and burning of equipment, aimed at intimidating and displacing them, despite the existence of international law that rejects the legitimacy of settlements on occupied territories.
