Arabs caught cutting down their own olive trees before blaming settlers for "vandalism."

Jews from the Hebron area “destroyed and uprooted hundreds of olive saplings” northeast of Hebron on Sunday, according to the Ma’an News Agency, based n Bethlehem.

This is the same Ma’an that constantly reports of IDF “attacks” that never happened. It also reports of Jewish visits to the Temple Mount as “invasions” or “storming” of the holy site.

Eighty acres?

That is 880 yards by 440 yards. The average olive orchard consists of approximately 120 trees per acre, which means the settlers roamed through 9,600 trees, and no Arab called the IDF to stop them?

The village where the alleged vandalism took place is the same place where settlers supposedly uprooted 1,000 trees last month.

Sunday’s alleged vandalism was the fourth time the village’s olive orchards have been run over by settlers, according to Ma’an.

The real problem with these reports is that foreign media repeat them without any verification.
