Rabbi Allows Palestinian Olive Thieves
Israeli Rabbi Dov Lior issued a fatwa granting settlers the right to steal the fruits of the olive harvest from Palestinian lands in the West Bank, claiming that the Palestinians abandoned them for security reasons and that they belong to the Jews. This fatwa comes during the harvest season, amid a surge in violent attacks against Palestinian farmers and their property, including vehicle burnings and physical injuries. The fatwa has sparked widespread controversy among religious and political groups, with warnings that such actions' escalation deepens tensions, threatens civil peace, and encourages further assaults in the absence of international deterrence.
